Program for smooth mouse movement. Let's do a little tweaking right away. Comparison with a paid analogue

A computer mouse is the most convenient pointing device for controlling a computer. Standard Windows tools allow you to configure mouse pointer parameters, increase or decrease the speed of cursor movements, and change the assignment of buttons. At large quantities The basic functionality of the buttons on the device is not enough to make the necessary settings.

As promised, I’ll show you how to macro any mouse. For the review I chose the Macros Effect program because it supports Oscar syntax and all the macros that will be in my reviews can be used on regular office mice. Another plus of this program is that there are a lot of macros on the X7 on the Internet, which means you don’t need to waste time rewriting third-party macros for yourself, you just need to pull the code from the AMC file and transfer it to the Macros Effect window. Watch the video to see how this is done.


What you need:

1. Any mouse with at least two left and right keys

2. Macro emulation program on a mouse

Let's start macrosing:

1. Download the archive with the Macros Effect program (the program was scanned by DrWeb antivirus)

2. Run the program on your computer

I'll tell you briefly about the simple interface of Macros Effect:

Script window, a mouse macro is inserted or written into this window.

Tracking - activating a macro in the game.

React to: Pressing and releasing (Basically, the pressing mode will be needed, so we immediately switch to this mode)

The big red button is needed to record your own macros. You turn it on and it records your mouse actions.

We'll do it right away small setup:

1. Click on the macro label at the top of the program.

2. In the settings, I chose the “X” button for the tracking key, we do it as it suits us, we definitely need to change the F8 key.

The program is now ready to load the macro. To download, follow the link under the video and download the file with macros, for example, I took a macro from the Orsis T5000 standard, why standard. The point is that here you can macro the left and right mouse keys. The program is designed for primitive mice; the standard macro for Orsis uses these keys.

Here we downloaded the archive, it contains three files:

1. Right-click on “standard”

2. Open with notepad

3. Copying the contents of the tags

4. Paste what you copied into the Macros Effect program -> into the script window.

5. We go into the game, press the X key and hear the sound of the program being turned on. We hold down the zoom, shoot - the sniper reloads itself.

Quick shooting...

To use the bug with fast shooting from the Orsis, you will have to cut part of the script, leave a double-click and after the shot, scroll the mouse wheel or press the 1 key. As for me, it’s almost not annoying, of course, in a gaming mouse it’s a complete mess, you can release the entire clip without even looking at it pulling, in the case of with a regular mouse and this program will have to squint one eye on the fifth shot.

Macros Effect optimization:

Press the key combination alt+Ctrl+Del, launch the task manager -> go to processes -> right-click on the Macros Effect program -> set the priority to above medium. This is necessary so that the program primarily intercepts signals from your mouse.

I warn you!

Using the software in online games is prohibited by the rules, including Contract Wars. In this video I showed a primitive gaming mouse memory emulator Macros Effect - this program is the same as normal memory gaming mouse, only the macro recordings will be located on your computer, unlike gaming mice, in gaming macros the macros are stored in the mouse itself.

To summarize:

If you compare the work of macros on a gaming mouse and through a program, the difference is noticeable. It would be easier to take the simplest x7 with 16 kB of memory and not come up with anything, if you have to go play with a computer club team, then no one will let you install your program on their computer, and when the entire script is embedded in the mouse, no one will say anything.

Through this program you can macro double, trouble, burst, from any weapon. It will be useful for attack aircraft.

I added the following macros to the video archive:

1. double click

2. Trouble click

For those who have x7 gaming mice with built-in memory, I’ll show you how to download a macro:

1. Download the OSCAR program for your mouse from the off-site; it is usually located on the page with the description of the mouse.

2. Let's launch the program.

3. Select the desired key

4. open macro manager

5. Click on the macro -> Open -> Select the macro you need

6. Save -> Close the macro manager

7. Click Download to Mouse

The macro is loaded into the mouse, you can play and be happy.

As for the bloody mouse, under the video there is a link to a video in which a dude tells how to set macros on a series of these mice, I checked his video, everything is installed perfectly, so as not to shoot the same thing for the hundredth time, whoever needs it, go to

The first computer mouse appeared in 1984. Introducing the first Mackintosh, which then cost two and a half thousand dollars, Apple company wrote in its press release: “Users tell the Macintosh what it should do by moving the “mouse,” a small guiding device that lets you select the desired function in the menu or graphic symbol on the screen. Thanks to the mouse, users no longer need to remember great amount confusing keyboard commands that are used in regular computers. Thanks to this, learning occurs faster, and operating a computer is easier." Since then, the computer mouse has become a household name, and its name has long been stopped being put in quotation marks. First it became a two-button, then a three-button, later it got rid of the ball and wires, became multi-colored and acquired an original shape. Despite the fact that a modern mouse has much more capabilities than its great-grandmother from the early eighties, new ways to expand its functionality are constantly appearing. This review contains some utilities, the main purpose of which is to make working with the mouse more convenient.

The main disadvantage of this utility is that it officially supports only those models of manipulators that are produced by Microsoft company. Despite the fact that each mouse model from this company is necessarily equipped with a disk with the IntelliPoint utility recorded on it, we recommend downloading more new version this free program. Microsoft time updates the utility from time to time, adding all new functions to it, as well as support the latest models mice. We think many people are familiar with the “multi-button mouse syndrome”: after working with such a device for some time, it is simply impossible to return to the classic version with three buttons. And the culprit is the additional features that “extra” buttons provide. On sale you can find dozens of multi-button mice from the most different manufacturers. Many of them are impressive multifunctional devices. However, when detailed study, it may turn out that the beautiful design is deceptive - the function for each button is “hardwired” into the device, and no software can change this. IN best case scenario The mouse comes with a program that allows you to select one of several options for functions. Among which, as a rule, there is not the one that you need. As for manipulators from Microsoft, this option is excluded. Even the old brand three-button mouse can be configured to perform different actions. And what can we say about modern models like Laser Mouse 6000! For the utility to work correctly with the device, you must select the mouse type in the Connected device list. The figure will schematically show the selected model with its inherent key layout. For each key there is a drop-down list of assignable commands. So that you do not make a mistake in the key, in the picture with your model, the button for which it is assigned in this moment one function or another. Interestingly, in addition to commands like Close or Double Click, the utility allows you to assign a combination of sequential pressing of any keys, which is especially convenient if you work with applications such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, MS Word, MS Excel, etc. For those who really work, and not just use Morse code computer games, IntelliPoint can to a large extent simplify life.

However, we haven’t forgotten about those who like to kill time at the computer. You can even assign a Gaming Toggle function to any key, which allows you to alternately use two sets of keys, up to 16 keystrokes each. Well, and on top of that, IntelliPoint will make sure that the batteries in the wireless mouse do not run out prematurely. Having determined that the device's supply voltage has decreased, the program will display a warning message on the screen.

As a rule, all “mouse” software is divided into two groups: those that control the functions of the buttons and those that make it possible to use the menu that pops up in the cursor area. From such a menu you can open documents, launch programs, follow an Internet link, etc. MouseLaunch belongs to the second group. This small utility can be used on any mouse model, even the most rare one - two-button and without scrolling. With MouseLaunch you can quickly launch various applications by selecting them from the square menu. To bring up the menu on the screen, you need to simultaneously click the left and right mouse buttons or click on the program icon in the notification area.

One menu contains eight shortcuts. When you first look at it, the question arises, why not add the ability to place a ninth label in the middle of it. The answer is simple: the middle cell is used to switch between menus, of which there are three in the program. These are designated as middle (default), right, and left. To switch between them, use the icon in the form of three squares in the middle cell. Thus, using MouseLaunch you can define up to 24 shortcuts for quickly launching programs, opening files and web pages. You can add them to the menu by simply dragging them into the desired square. To call an application or file already placed in the menu, you just need to left-click on the cell. Right-clicking gives you the option to delete the shortcut or move it to another menu or cell. It is very convenient that when you click on the shortcut, the MouseLaunch window immediately disappears, saving the user from unnecessary actions. For those for whom 24 cells are not enough, the developers offer an additional 24 places to store shortcuts. In order to access them, you need to hold Shift key when calling up the menu. There is something interesting in the program, although useless function statistics showing which cell is used most often.

MouseLaunch is distributed as shareware, the trial version can be downloaded from here.

This utility helps expand the functionality of the middle mouse button. Cool Mouse provides two sets of commands: for middle-clicking on the window title and for clicking in the inner area of ​​the window. Clicking the title can minimize the window, leaving only the title, or place its icon in the notification area. In addition, when you click with the middle mouse button on the window title, the Start menu may appear or some program may be launched. The path to this application must be specified in the utility settings. Another possible command is to call up a menu with a set of almost all of the above functions, from which you can select the one that is needed at the moment.

The range of commands that can be executed when you middle-click on the inside of a window is somewhat broader. For example, you can use it to copy/paste selected sections of text. Once launched, the Cool Mouse icon is placed in the notification area, and by clicking on it, you can quickly change the commands that should be executed when you press the middle mouse button. In addition, you can temporarily pause the program. It is also possible to pre-define applications for whose windows commands other than those selected for all windows should be executed. Additionally, the program allows you to create a list of folders that you access most often. They can be accessed from the document opening and saving windows by clicking on the button? in the right top corner window with the right mouse button.

Cool Mouse is distributed as shareware, the trial version can be downloaded from here.

IN Opera browser There is interesting opportunity execution different actions using the mouse. I drew some shape with the mouse in the browser window - and the program reacts to it, stopping the page from loading, updating it, etc. It would seem that you can do without such an opportunity just fine, but once you get used to such operations, you begin to notice that they begin to be missed when working with other applications. The Sign&Run utility works similar to the Mouse Gestures option in Opera and makes it possible to associate any shape drawn with the mouse with the launch of an application or any other file. It works as follows: in the program window, press the Record button, after which a figure is drawn in a special field. It then links to any file. The program can respond to gestures that are performed with the left, middle or right buttons mice.

Sign&Run is distributed free of charge, you can download it from here.

Conclusion

Throughout human history, there have been people whom contemporaries considered, to say the least, eccentrics. And all because these “eccentrics” tried to take a fresh look at everyday things, giving them a new meaning. Sometimes these attempts ended in failure, and then the brave Icarus with cardboard wings fell down, and Giordano Bruno and others like him were persecuted for “dissent.” But sometimes, as a result of bold assumptions, great discoveries were born. Therefore, you should not be skeptical of those who try to improve the wheel, even if it is a mouse wheel. Perhaps this will have serious consequences in the future. Of course, you can do without all the programs described above. But, after trying it once and getting used to what the mouse got additional features, it is quite difficult to refuse to use them. Quick call applications from the window quick launch, purpose additional keys different keyboard shortcuts, minimizing windows by clicking on the title, opening the CD/DVD drive tray after drawing a circle with the mouse cursor - this is all very convenient, and it’s worth using.

Now it's time to optimize your mouse. “What is there to improve?” - you ask. There is something, believe me. No, there will be no talk about cursors - I already wrote to you. I bring to your attention three small mouse customization programs. They are all free. After using them, you will feel the convenience and speed of navigation in the system. Personally, I adopted them. And I advise you.

Let's look at it in more detail and in pictures, how to set up a mouse. By the way, any.

Mouse program - download: 15MB

The first is a program for setting up a mouse from the creators of Windows. As you might guess - absolutely proven and good. Such companies do not risk their reputation. Is it true?

Microsoft IntelliPoint- this is essentially just all the options and settings of the mouse that are already in the system. But here they are all collected in one place. Very convenient and understandable. Everything is so easy that I won’t even describe it - you’ll understand it yourself. Completely Russian. Also, the newest drivers will be installed in parallel, specifically for your mouse.

Wizmouse - next program for mouse. What is she doing? She seems to be drilling through the windows. Will explain. You have two windows open. One above the other. So, to scroll to the bottom, you don’t need to activate it, just move the cursor over the edge of the window and turn the wheel. You've also probably noticed that not all website elements work with scrolling. For example, above the windows there are videos from YouTube. This program eliminates these inconveniences. In general, you will feel the difference immediately.

Check the boxes and click OK. The following icon will appear in the tray. And when you click on it with the RIGHT mouse button, a menu will appear. Enabled - enabled. Remove the checkbox and the program will be disabled.

Now the sweetest and most delicious part. MouseExtender- a program for a mouse that allows you to attach a quick launch menu to the middle (default, you can change) mouse button (wheel) ... whatever you want. Programs, links to a website, opening a folder or file. Shutting down the computer on time, rebooting and the control panel go immediately by default. It's even faster and more convenient than the dock panel. When you click the wheel anywhere on the screen, a menu appears...

To start, go to the folder...

...and press...

After this, we do not move the folder.

Initially we have this view...

The program can respond to gestures that are performed with the left, middle or right mouse buttons.

Sign&Run is distributed free of charge, you can download it from here.

Conclusion

Throughout human history, there have been people whom contemporaries considered, to say the least, eccentrics. And all because these “eccentrics” tried to take a fresh look at everyday things, giving them a new meaning. Sometimes these attempts ended in failure, and then the brave Icarus with cardboard wings fell down, and Giordano Bruno and others like him were persecuted for “dissent.” But sometimes, as a result of bold assumptions, great discoveries were born. Therefore, you should not be skeptical of those who try to improve the wheel, even if it is a mouse wheel. Perhaps this will have serious consequences in the future. Of course, you can do without all the programs described above. But, after trying it once and getting used to the fact that the mouse has additional features, it is quite difficult to refuse to use them. Quickly launching applications from the Quick Launch window, assigning different keyboard shortcuts to additional keys, minimizing windows by clicking on the title, opening the CD/DVD drive tray after drawing a circle with the mouse cursor - this is all very convenient, and it’s worth using.

We have already improved the explorer. Now it's time to optimize your mouse. “What is there to improve?” - you ask. There is something, believe me. No, there will be no talk about cursors - about mouse cursors I already wrote to you. I bring to your attention three small mouse customization programs. They are all free. After using them, you will feel the convenience and speed of navigation in the system. Personally, I adopted them. And I advise you.

Wizmouse

Wizmouse is the next mouse program. What is she doing? She seems to be drilling through the windows. Will explain. You have two windows open. One above the other. So, to scroll to the bottom, you don’t need to activate it, just move the cursor over the edge of the window and turn the wheel. You've also probably noticed that scrolling does not work on all website elements. For example, above YouTube video windows. This program eliminates these inconveniences. In general, you will feel the difference immediately.
