HID Macros not working when in Game

Post by ReeferFro » 06 Jun 2021, 16:49

I use HID macros for my second keyboard, by setting up the F13- F24 buttons for my soundboard.
When I Focus HIDmacros and then click on to windows desktop the key binds work.
However as soon as I go into a game the second keyboard is not separated anymore and just acts the same way as the main keyboard.
I have HID macros running in the background. launched in administrator mode.
I also tried running the game in administrator mode.

Anyone maybe has an idea how I can fix this?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Your game is probably reading the keyboard "directly", at low level. Hidmacros can't block such direct access

Well, is there any workaround for it? I have the same problem: I use HID Macros for my ZFang additional Keyboard and the Macros simulate CTRL+1, CTRL+2 and so on. When I'm in a Fullwindow Programm, the Macrokeys won't work, but as soon as i tab out of the Program it works again.

I want to ask, what script are you using?

>>>SendKeysSlow "{F13}", 50<<<
or
>>>HIDmacro. SendKeysSlow "{F13}", 50<<<


If you use >>>HIDmacro. SendKeysSlow "{F13}", 50<<<

try using >>>SendKeysSlow "{F13}", 50<<<

I noticed that by doing this, it somewhat by-pass most keyboard checks
It works on both Valorant and CSGO
