Razer Blackwidow Macro Problem

I bought myself a standard Razer Blackwidow for the mechanical keys, which also happens to have 5 additional macro keys along the side. I had never found a use for these until I stopped using my steelseries siberia headset - I use skype often, and I would use the inline mute button to mute myself as necessary.

Now that I do not have this facility, I wanted to see if I could bind one of my macro buttons to my 'mute microphone' hotkey on skype (Ctrl + Shift + Z). I have tried simply recording a macro for this but once I press the associated button it doesn't actually mute/unmute my skype. I'm at a loss for what I could do to rectify this, does anybody have an idea as to what I could be doing wrong?

When in real doubt, Autohotkey (if nothing else works); if autohotkey is able to "see" the scan codes for those buttons it's quite easy to write a simple bind.

In the macro editor of the Blackwidow software you can see and edit the exact sequence of events (key presses, releases and breaks) that make up the macro. You can try tweaking that to ensure that all keys are pressed at the same time in the macro. I've found that the recording function doesn't always provide the most reliable macro and that editing manually after recording can help.

Yeah the same happens with my microsoft x6 keyboard. It's usually worth it to just adjust the delays and stuff of each key individually in order to stop things from going wrong.

Use the new Razer Synapse software for this. Works like a charm.

Im sorry to bump this, but i have an issue with my blackwidow ultimate keyboard. Since i was starting to learn about macros, i decided to make an never ending macro ( like an on/off switch style ) and i binded it to numpad 5, and changed the delay to 9999.99, how can i stop this ? im going actually insane about this.

Just delete the macro you created and change the key back to default in the options?
