r/WootingKB on Reddit: Wooting’s Macro Support is a Joke. Where’s the REAL Software We Deserve?
August 18, 2025 -

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 Those programs are either outdated, complicated to set up, or simply don’t work properly with many games and apps-likely because anti-cheat systems see them as suspicious.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.

This is hard to swallow, there is a source of truth here but I wouldn’t describe it as us not listening at all and ignoring this development under basic guises.But it’s true that macros is not the highest item on our list and with the setback, it takes longer for us to get it back on track. We spent an considerable amount (at that time for the resources at hand) to get Wootomation off the ground. The purpose was to make an independent macro software that was not proprietary to us (like all other brands), far easier to use than AHK, and all PC run to separate it from keyboard, not it to become a macro cheat machine with what was already an ambiguous analog input debate (having controller interfaces et al) Wootomation is an open source project, it’s free, and available to anyone to tinker on. We had dedicated a developer internally on the project, but had to separate ways. Considering no other developer (outside Wooting) was willing to invest time into expanding it, it quickly became dead in tracks. We also didn’t hear a strong voice or movement for Wootomation macros outside our Wooting user base either. With all that was developing, we decided it’s better to discontinue development on Wootomation and work on an integrated macro solution with the Wootility after we release background service with advanced light indicator features (coming soon) and automatic profile switching (coming later). Then it would also be easier for us to maintenance and handle as a Wootility core feature. That is still on the roadmap. Meanwhile, we will soon add soft macros to keyboard native features, such as hotkeys, repeat, in advanced keys. And when background service is available, start adding more advanced macro option. These will blend in Wootility, indicating what does and doesn’t need to background service. You can then also choose to turn it off entirely. The background service basically means we execute the function on the PC, not the keyboard. Because either it’s not possible on the keyboard or it’s more sensible in terms of complexity, load, and user behavior to run it on PC side. The reason we don’t add macros onboard as a first solution is because the it is far more limited than software on the PC side. You want a mute hotkey? Well keyboard HID doesn’t have mute, you need the PC sided solution. Same goes for launching applications etc. PC sided macro solution are also not allowed in competitive games to be used. Keyboard native macros can get away with it if it doesn’t use a predictable pattern (think key sequence macros), but this isn’t what you buy a Wooting keyboard for. We try to keep a balanced approach.

Can I use Wooting Keyboard Macros for Invoker in Dota 2?
