0x8030 · macroRecord

The macroRecord feature provides the HID++ interface for on-the-fly macro recording on Logitech gaming keyboards. It allows a host or the device itself to enter a recording session in which subsequent keystrokes are captured and stored as a macro, typically bound to a G-key managed by the companion 0x8010 gamingGKeys feature. This feature is relevant to gaming keyboards that support hardware macro recording and does not apply to mice, headsets, touchpads, or receivers.

What it does

• Record session control — provides functions to start and stop a macro recording session, putting the device into a capture mode where key events are buffered rather than acted upon immediately.
• Target key selection — the host can specify which programmable key (e.g. a G-key slot) will receive the recorded macro once the session ends.
• State reporting — the device can emit HID++ events to notify the host of recording state changes (idle, recording, full, error) so software can update its UI accordingly.
• Macro storage — recorded sequences are written into the device's onboard memory, making them available for subsequent playback without host involvement, in coordination with the 0x8010 gamingGKeys assignment model.
• Timing capture — depending on the device's capabilities, the recording may preserve inter-keystroke delays so that playback reproduces the original timing faithfully.
