    So I can’t use macros for rf on my laptop. If I click a macro it does the actual command. For example if I click one of the F keys it turns the brightness higher for my laptop instead of doing a rf macro. Does anyone know how to fix this? I know u can click FN key and do it but the thing is I want to play like how I use to which is macroing in the middle of a juggle. I can’t be clicking 2 keys at once to use a macro that’s 2 much. Thank you

    Try disabling action keys mode in Bios in system configuration tab.

    I'm not entirely sure what laptop you have but the instructions below should be relatively similar across most laptops.

    Restart your Windows computer and when it starts booting, press the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings.

    Press the Advanced tab and double-click on Function key behavior. Change the setting from Multimedia key to Function key.

    Warning : Do be sure to know what you're doing with BIOS settings.

    Yeah I tried this in the morning and it worked thanks.

    And does anyone know if it’s also possible for me to change like the F7 key to the letter d? So if I click the letter d it does the f7 macro

    I don't think this is possible unless you own a Razer/Corsair Keyboard with it's ability to remap keys on it's corresponding software.

    There may be 3rd party software to accomplish that, but you would want to do it at your own risk.
