Okay So my Razer Deathadder mouse has programmable buttons 4 and 5 on the mouse are programed to be 8 and 9, Which i am trying to use as hotkeys ingame. But they don't work ingame but they work when I just have internet up or something. Ive tried running my razer program as admin but nothing works, any suggestions?

I think starcraft prevents people from using macros. Not 100% sure though. Google it maybe.

I'm pretty sure sc2 lets you set macros, but its looked down upon and not allowed in many tournaments.

Lol Your talking to a platinum player who is just trying to get better, and frankly how would people know I'm using programable buttons on my mouse to macro?

A lot of the tournaments you go to let you use your own keyboard/mouse but you have to install the drivers for that hardware. That's where the macros and stuff would get caught at LAN events.

I personally have a button on my Razer Diamondback bound to control for hotkeys and it works fine through SC2. If you're only trying to do single keypresses make sure you click over to the 'single key' tab from the 'macro' tab in the Razer software. You want full functionality with depress duration and stuff like that. If you run it as a macro the downstroke of the mouse button will register a downstroke and a release of the key as opposed to holding the button and things like that functioning properly.

Those are not macros, they are key binds. Macros perform several actions after one press. Key binds only rebind one key somewhere else.

Make sure you're not binding to keypad 8 and 9, but the regular 8 and 9.
There is no one like you in the universe.

Hey,

It seems like a lot of people own the death adder, and are adding to this thread for simple help, so I figured I toss my question in here. I don't think this question was important enough to start a new thread.

I'm one of those people who like the blue from my mouse glowing at night. Is there a way to keep the light constant rather than having it glowing on and off?

There's an option in the deathadder driver to turn off the glow.

I just got the Razer Deathadder Respawn for my iMac and have encountered a problem that I hope someone on TL might help me solve. After installing the DA drivers and maxing the sensitivity the pointer is still rather slow. If I look at the mouse settings on the mac itself, the pointer speed is set to the lowest possible. I can adjust it here but it will reset to the low settings when restarting the iMac. Does anyone know what can be done about this or a way to work around it? I tried using the mouse without the drivers but with the same result. Hoping for some feedback
