Using the Vengeance Gaming Software
Software versus Hardware Playback
The Vengeance Gaming Software provides two different modes of operation: software
playback and hardware playback. They each have advantages and disadvantages. Please
read this section to determine which mode is best for you.
Software Playback
This is the default for the Vengeance Gaming Software. In this mode, macros are read from
the active profile by a background application played back via the Windows keyboard buffer.
Advantages of software playback
The main advantages of software playback are: 1) auto-switching of profiles based on the
application assigned to the profile; 2) more than six profiles can be used; and 3) changes
made to a profile, setting, or macro are immediately available.
The automatic profile switching allows you to assign an application to a profile, and when
the Vengeance Gaming Software detects that application as running and having focus, it will
switch profiles for you. You can assign applications to a profile through the Manage Profiles
activity.
The Vengeance M90 gaming mouse is limited to a maximum of six onboard profiles. If you
want to be able to choose between more than six active profiles, you’ll need to use the
software mode.
Disadvantages of software playback
The main disadvantages of software playback are: 1) some applications block macro
playback by reading directly from the hardware rather than the Windows keyboard buffer;
and 2) because more than six profiles can be used, the profile LEDs on the mouse are
disabled as they cannot be mapped to the complete list of profiles.
If you choose to use software playback, enabling On-Screen Display (OSD) will let you see
the name of the profile you are switching to, the DPI setting you’ve selected, and other data.
However, because the OSD uses Windows to display the message, you may be switched
out of a full-screen game to the Windows desktop when you change a profile or setting. If
you choose to use software playback with OSD enabled, be sure to test this before you’re in
the middle of the action in your favorite game!
Hardware playback
Because the Vengeance M90 gaming mouse has on-board memory, you can playback your
macros directly from the hardware. This mode is enabled by selecting Hardware playback
from any of the activity screens.
Advantages of hardware playback
The main advantages of hardware playback are: 1) better game compatibility; and 2) visual
feedback via the six profile LEDs to identify the profile you’re currently using.
Disadvantages of hardware playback
The main disadvantages of hardware playback are: 1) you are limited to just six profiles that
can be active at any time, where software playback offers a nearly unlimited number of
