Hey everyone,
I’ve been a proud Wooting keyboard user for a while now. Love the analog technology, the build, the feel… but here’s the cold hard truth:
Wooting has zero native macro support. None. Zero. Zip.
They released this so-called “Wootomation” software a while ago, which everyone hoped would be the native macro solution. But spoiler alert: it’s a total disaster. The software is utterly unfinished, barely functional, and clearly abandoned by the devs. You can’t even seriously rely on it for basic, much less advanced macro functions that any other decent peripheral software handles effortlessly.
Every few weeks, there’s a frustrated post on Discord or Reddit: “How do I just make this button mute my mic?” Or, “Why can’t I automate basic stuff for work with my expensive keyboard?”
Wooting’s answer is… silence. Or, “Use Wootomation!” (or 3rd party software) - but we all know it’s broken and forgotten.
I’m not asking for hacks or game cheats, just the same productivity tools EVERY other brand offers. In 2025, you shouldn’t need to use sketchy third-party macro programs (risking bans!) just to copy and paste with style.
Now, you might say, “Just use third-party programs like Key Manager, BotMek, or AutoHotkey.” The reality? Those programs are either outdated, complicated to set up, or simply don’t work properly with many games and apps-likely because anti-cheat systems see them as suspicious. It’s frustrating because all we want is simple, repeatable key presses for convenience and productivity, not cheating or anything shady.
Meanwhile, competitors like Corsair iCUE and Logitech G HUB offer native macro functionality that’s reliable, user-friendly, and integrated seamlessly. Wooting’s lack of a proper solution is glaring.
To the devs and decision-makers at Wooting:
We aren’t asking for miracles. Just give us a proper macro system - either build something solid into your firmware/software, or at least provide an official third-party app with rich features, an intuitive interface, and stability.
The community deserves this. We want the legendary analog input, and modern customization. Not this half-baked mess that’s basically a slap in the face to your loyal users.
If you’re tired of waiting for a real macro solution on your Wooting board, upvote this and share. Maybe if enough people demand it loud and clear, Wooting will finally wake up and give us the software we deserve.
Let’s make some noise - no more excuses.
I have recently heard about the Wooting keyboards and was thinking of getting one. But I had some questions about the software used to customize it.
The first and main question about if it is able to switch profiles based on the current application. That way I could have a general default profile for everyday tasks. But then if I launched a certain game it would auto switch to that profile without me having to manually change it.
The second question I had is of much less importance. But I was wondering about the analog keys and how they work. I heard you can set them to do different things based on how hard they are pressed in. Is this similar to how the steam controller worked?
As in could I map 2 different inputs onto the same key. And then be able to use both by doing a short press into a full press? So that both short and full press functions are active at the same time.
If so would this always do both input when pressed? Or if I just fully press it in straight away does it skip the short press input?
EDIT: Meant to put "keyboards" not just "keyboard".
Hello! I'm wondering what makes wooting keyboards be better than other Hall effect analog keyboards that also have rapid trigger? (specifically for me I mean the 80he but also all their keyboards in general) and what makes them be worth the price compared to other cheaper ones?
I'm thinking of getting an 80he but just wanna make sure :)
