Issue with Roccat Tyon key bindings and macro recording in BF4
Issue with Roccat Tyon key bindings and macro recording in BF4
I recently acquired the Roccat Tyon for FPS gaming. While playing BF4, I noticed that extra buttons weren't responding in the game. Following online suggestions, I learned to set up a profile in the Roccat software, record macros and link them to buttons. I activated the profile during gameplay. I completed all the steps. After some adjustments, pressing the assign button either: 1) fails to register (like pulling a knife out but not actually doing it), or 2) shows a noticeable delay, much longer than pressing the standard button. I use Kaspersky and Malwarebytes for protection. Some believe the lag stems from security features. After adding exclusions, the issue improved slightly. Maybe I'm making a mistake or including incorrect processes? I really need your assistance. Thank you.
You might need to re-record the timings more quickly. Yes, you can review and edit macros using tools similar to Excel VBA.
You have two options with extra mouse buttons: 1. Give them one key press each. 2. Use several key presses together. The first method is straightforward. Open your mouse utility, specify the button and its corresponding key on your keyboard. In the game, inform BF4 about this action so it executes the key when you press it. Adjust the "keyboard" settings for actions, not mouse settings. If you're only doing the first, you're fine. But if you're aiming for the second, proceed with caution—macros are controversial in BF4 and may result in a ban.
I believed Roccat software could let you adjust timing between presses without third-party programs. However, if you just want a single keypress, assign the appropriate keyboard key to the mouse button.
I'm working on issue 1, and it looks like the problem isn't limited to BF4 but also affects CSGO. The tool functions properly when I map one key to a single mouse button. During gameplay, when the profile is active, BF4 shows a significant lag between pressing the button and the expected result (like taking out the primary weapon). This is quite slow. In CSGO, the situation is even worse since none of the macros function correctly. For both games, I adjusted settings in the keyboard section. For example, I recorded a macro where pressing 1 and releasing 1 maps to mouse button X. In the keyboard settings, I set this action to use "1". So in-game, pressing 1 should trigger the intended action. Is that correct? I think this matches what I saw on YouTube.
There isn’t any built-in method to map each keystroke directly to a button without using macros. You’re right, even with Logitech support, macros are often necessary for this purpose.
This is how my Kova's driver looks like. I've highlighted "Assign a Shortcut" option which you use for single keys. As you can see, my BF3/4 profile has several shortcuts assigned. Also, in macro editor you can edit timings from 1ms to anything above. I can say for sure that 1ms is much faster that normal key press made by you. And editor recording doesn't include time delays between presses. So the issue isn't with driver software. It must be either hw/sw error in mouse itself (check if you can update firmware from driver software). Or it might be that you are using mouse with USB3 port. In that case, try using USB2 instead. It might work better.
