I find my left hand is completely occupied with movement keys save my thumb which can only comfortable reach the space bar which I wish to keep as jump.

How common are MASC macros? I have a Corsair Strafe which I have never utilized advanced key functions with. Is double tapping W or S the best approach in your opinion? What timings work well for the key delay?

My right hand is using a Razer Deathadder with all mouse buttons used.

A MASC macro? I've actually never heard of using one. I always just use LShift, so I don't really see the need for one. Honestly, a MASC macro just sounds like it would be dangerous in tense situations, since you might have difficulty switching it on/off quickly, and there's always the slim possibility it will act up at the worst time possible.

[Spheroid]

@Restos: Shift is activated with the little finger so you are compromising your ability to turn left. I use MASC quite a bit, but I want to use it more for knife fighting. Because I need to stretch the little finger I use it more for emergency forward or backward movement when it could be much more.

Rebind it to F?

[Spheroid]

@Noni: Could do that, but I would need to release F if using targeting functions.

R is literally right above it? If you use hold masc instead of toggle, dunno what i can do for ya.

[Revis Volek]

Yea you can switch masc to a toggle instead if that would help, might be hard to ride the limit like that though. In setting you can change it. But i use the pinky or ring finger button my on mouse, CM Storm Recon has a huge button on the right hand side of the mouse and its actually really easy. Macro might be worth it but i assume the toggle in game would kinda be the same....shame it doesnt shut off automatically when you hit the limit hence the need for a timed macro i guess.

I prefer the ability to feather it though, would ruin it for me.

Even the up scroll or down scroll? Cause people usually do not use those.

[Oldbob10025]

I use the left alt button for my Wolverine Loyalty mech and it works great...

[Mcgral18]

I used Alt until it became my PTT
MASC moved to V (same as the jump movement), as I never take Advanced Zoom

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

Forget a macro. Use your mouse wheel. Scroll up to turn on, scroll down to turn off (or pick a direction and set it as a toggle).

[Spheroid]

Mcgral's suggestion is good. I hate advanced zoom and it cycles through all zoom levels anyway if bound to the mousewheel. V is redundant.

Put it on your left shift (put arm-lock toggle, not hold, on right shift), and play like COD or Battlefield, you're not going to miss a beat.

However, MASC as i experienced it on Executioner, it's not for long-distance sprinting but for reactivity, to quickly accelerate and decelerate.

check NewEgg for foot pedals. You can set it to hold for on or toggle, and they cost $10-20.

FYI macros are for doing multiple actions with on press. you are asking to use it to do one action for one push same as pushing the button.

I use "e" incidentally.

Except what OP is requesting is not really a macro, just key rebind.

Perhaps the OP should amend his thread title to reflect that.

I just rebound my MASC to E and just roll my finger over when I want to use it. While using MASC rebind W key to full throttle and S key to full reverse as the MASC is still limited by increasing/decreasing of throttle.

Interesting, how do you keep your fingers on WASD? I keep my ring finger on A (left), index finger on D (right), while my middle finger alternates up-and-down between W, S and X (accelerate, decelerate, full stop). In this position, my little finger falls naturally on L Shift, hence I bind my MASC there. Also where I have "run" on generic FPS's.

TAB for turbo. Macros r lame.
