What is on-the-fly macro recording on Razer keyboards?

On-the-fly macro recording allows users to record lengthy macros in the game without having to access driver menus or other software. For example, hitting the “Macro Record” key then inputting a sequence of multiple spells in World of Warcraft saves this action to the specified key. The same sequence of spells can then be executed automatically with the actuation of that one button.

Can I use On-the-Fly Macro Recording without Synapse 3?

Updated 27-Jan-2021 | Answer ID: 4063

On-the-Fly Macro Recording only works when Synapse 3 is installed and running in the background. The system tray icon should show up in the Windows Taskbar. If you start the recording without Synapse 3, the LED for the On-the-Fly Macro Recording will blink three times and go off instead of remaining lit. Install Synapse 3 and allow it to run in the background to be able to use on-the-fly macro.
