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 Those programs are either outdated, complicated to set up, or simply don’t work properly with many games and apps-likely because anti-cheat systems see them as suspicious.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've downloaded the macro software and made a macro. I then uninstalled said software and the macro is still working. I have reinstalled, deleted macro, disabled macros on software, uninstalled again, and it is still working. Someone please help.

Everytime i try to open wootomation it launches and then says not responding, even if i leave it open and wait nothing happens, doesnt seem like anyone else is having this issue,

Tried asking in discord and support, have also uninstalled it completely from my pc and reinstalled it multiple times.

I love my Wooting, the goat gaming keyboard I've ever used. Basically no complaints for me...

There is however one thing about the Wooting experience I have been underwhelmed by: my now aborted attempt to use Wootomation to setup some simple macros. For whatever reason, I found that simply having the program open and any macro enabled causes severe interference and input lag in game.

I understand there are aspects to my setup that may be related and/or exacerbating the problem - running my keyboard through a usb 3 hub, playing games with the xbox overlay enabled, playing w rapid trigger and tachyon mode enabled, etc. - but none of those have caused me any trouble unless Wootomation is open. If the program is open, all bets are off. If it's closed, I have no issues. Seems pretty cut and dried.

What is the current status of this program? It's open source, but there is a landing page on their official site indicating they actively maintain it. Is this still the case? Have read a few things that suggest maybe the primary author no longer works for Wooting. Is this still the recommended way to try to setup macros with the Wooting? If it is, it could use some serious improvements imo. If not, are there any alternatives?

Reviewing the Github issues on the Wootomation repo, it seems like I'm maybe not alone in my frustration trying to use this program? Please share your experiences and any insights or suggested improvements here, just felt like polling the room on this topic as I wasn't seeing a lot of recent discussion.
