Once a macro is programed, is it stored within the mouse's on board memory or will it have to be reprogrammed for each computer?

stored and saved in the software. so all you have to do is install the software on the computers you want and transfer your file with the macro you saved. That being said, I hate the macro software on this mouse. I was hoping it would be similar to my old mouse's macro software, but it was not. Took me nearly four hours just to get it to save and keep a macro that made one of the buttons a double click. My personal recommendation is to look at some of the gaming mice sold by ThermalTake eSports. Best brand I have found so far.

YES! you can record all kinds of macros, as well as special function operations like copy paste, back, forward, and many others with the Corsair software. You can even control the timing of macros as well as make the action repeat (cheaty for FPS)

According to Logitech's own website, they completely support your mouse on the Windows 8 platform (source: http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32425#Mice) You would program your mouse's macro buttons using the 'Mouse and Keyboard Settings' program that comes with the Logitech drivers package. The program may also be called and titled, 'Logitech SetPoint'.

I can't help with this question. I really bought it for it's Macro function.

You would have to program it with a macro that has the exact steps necessary for the various devices.

The macros are not fully compatible with every program, So i do not know. Also keep in mind that its a gaming keyboard so its made mainly for gamers. I dont think the macros display on the LED screen on the keyboard, but they do have a separate program that lets you see all your macros that you program. Honestly though, this keyboard isn't as fantastic as it sounds, the youtube app doesn't even let you browse for certain videos :/

Absolutely, macro any keys you can press on the keyboard. it would be insecure though, clearly. open the utility, select the key, any key on the mouse is remappable, the drop down menu has nearly every option you can think of: left, middle, right click. forward/backward (up/down arrow really). single-key, combo-key (any two, e.g. ctrl-F1), cut/copy/paste/select all/find/new/print/save, switch window(alt-tab)/close window(alt-F4)/show desktop(windowskey-d)/lock pc, all media controls (play/pause/stop/volume-+/prev/next/mute/mute mic(clutch for voice chat servers), macros which can be any sequence of keys and delays of any length, fire key (which is mouse left click 3x fast, and loops if you hold it down for spamming), dpi cycle, dpi+, dpi-, profile switch, and even disable. you can make any button on the whole mouse into any of these commands. tldnr: yes, passwords and the kitchen sink possible.

I have good news about that question. It does retain the messages for a few days in my experience and I have never lost the programming on my sign. The bad news is the time does not hold and the selections are scheduled and executed by the time stamps. If you only have 1 programmed message then its no worries because it is automatically marked as the default msg. Hope this helped and I am compelled to advise that a computer novice could have trouble getting the results they want. The computer software uses DOS scripting and a virtual modem or another way to say it, my mother would never get it working... If that doesn't scare you then it can do many things! (I plan to use it in my car when / if I do not need it in my store!) Enjoy, Greg

It can be used to any sort of macros, like you say the shift+F1, I special try to do it. But you need to install the Razer synapse 2.0.

I did notice it seems to store the last config you gave it - so you can plug it into a different PC without even installing the drivers it will provide the same keystroke commands you last assigned it. Its not recognized as a game controller by the way, so it seems to behave more like a plug-and-play keyboard in that sense.

Yes, it has specific Mac software (as of Dec 2015) that allows you to customize all the buttons, tracking speed, surface, macros, etc. You can store them on the mouse or computer; I store them on the mouse and have had no trouble so far.

The mouse macro options in the software should allow you to program the buttons to activate keyboard keys, repeat recorded mouse actions, and mouse buttons. To open software, you could record presses involving the windows key, but it cannot natively open software.

Don't totally remember but, I think you get code to activate it and I am not sure if you can put it on more than one computer. Sorry not really a help.

Yes, you can even do macros.BE WARNED, the mousewheel on these die incredibly fast!I've had mine replaced once already, and the replacement mousewheel died again in just 4 months of moderate use.

I don't know. I use it with Windows XP with no problems, and I used a lot of keystrokes, rather than mouse like cntrl + c for copy.

Whenever the unit gains power back it defaults to a power on state, which if memory serves right just turns on the last built in macro of the unit that you were using the last time it got powered off. Hope this helps.

Yes you can; the macro software available from the Corsair website - http://www.corsair.com/en-us/support/downloads - includes a .pdf manual which shows how to program and edit macros, both on the hardware and software sides.
