Recording and customising your macro
Now that you’ve created a macro, it’s time to add actions:
Step 1: Click Start Now to begin recording.
Step 2: Choose from various input types:
- Record Keystrokes: Record keyboard shortcuts.
- Text/Emojis: Insert preset text or emojis.
- Actions: Automate tasks such as opening an application.
- System: Adjust system settings like volume of brightness.
- Delays: Introduce pauses between actions.
To enhance the macro, you can also assign it additional actions such as ‘opening an application (e.g., Blender)’ or ‘adjusting system brightness.’ Once satisfied, click Save to finalise the macro.

Assigning the macro to a button
With the macro ready, assigning it to a button is easy. Just drag and drop the macro onto a customisable button on your Logitech device. Alternatively, use G-Shift mode to assign macros to unassigned buttons for extended functionality.
Once assigned, test the macro to ensure it functions as expected.
Logitech G Hub’s macro functionality provides endless possibilities for gamers, content creators, and power users. Whether you’re looking to execute complex in-game actions, automate workflows, or streamline repetitive tasks, macros can help you work smarter and play better.
