Aorus Thunder K7 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

Aorus Thunder K7 Gaming Keyboard Software

The software does not come with the keyboard and will need to be downloaded from the Aorus website. The Aorus Macro engine is compatible with both the Thunder M7 Gaming mouse and the Thunder M7 Gaming Keyboard.

The Macro Engine software allows the user to program every key on the ten-key macro keypad, with the exception of the very 1st profile. It is reserved for traditional ten-key keypad layout. Each profile is selected at the top of the window and is represented by a color. The Aorus Logo glows with the corresponding profile color when selected.

To get into programming, select a key (on every profile except the first). Then select the action from the list of actions. Macros can also be assigned as well by first recording the macro and then selecting the macro per key under the macro sub-menu.

Macro recording is started by selecting the Macro menu and then selecting the macro number. On the next screen record and save your actions. It could be a key press combo with wait states or keystrokes and commands.

The settings page has two options which allow the user to save the profiles or wipe the memory clean. The profiles are stored on the keyboard so your macros and profiles can travel with you to another computer.
