How to Install a Macro on the X7 Mouse for Oscar Editor
A comprehensive guide for installing macros in Oscar Editor
1. Preparing for Macro Installation
1.1 Downloading and Installing Drivers
Identify Your Mouse Model: The A4Tech X7 series includes various models
(such as X-710K, X-718BK, X-730K, XL-750K, X-748K, etc.), each requiring the appropriate software version
(Oscar Editor or Anti-Vibrate Oscar Editor).
Obtain the Driver:
Download the driver and Oscar Editor from the
official X7 website
or use the installation disc provided with your mouse.
Alternatively, you may locate the software from another reliable source – just ensure the version matches so that
X7 macros function properly.
Install the Software: Run the installer, wait for the process to complete, and reboot your computer if necessary.
Note: Unlike the Bloody series, most X7 mice do not require separate activation for macro functionality. This means you can use macros straight out of the box.
2. Preparing Macros for Oscar Editor
2.1 Where to Find Macros
Create Your Own. Many users prefer writing a custom X7 macro tailored to their needs – for games like CS2, Apex Legends, PUBG, or others.
Purchase Pre-made Macros. At Topmacro.net you’ll find an extensive selection of high-quality, privately developed macros designed for recoil compensation in various games.
Ensure the macro file is compatible with Oscar Editor – it should have the .amc extension.
2.2 The Correct Macro Folder
Locate the Oscar Editor Directory. Typically, the path looks like:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Anti-Vibrate Oscar Editor\ScriptsMacros\Russian\MacroLibrary
(Folder names may vary slightly depending on your specific mouse model, e.g. X7 710BK or XL-750BK.)
Navigate to the MacroLibrary Folder. If you’re unsure of the exact path, you can:
Right-click the Oscar Editor shortcut and select “Open file location.”
Alternatively, within Oscar Editor open the “Macro Manager” and click “Open” to go to the root macro folder.
Copy the Macro File into this folder.
It’s important that the MacroLibrary folder contains only individual .amc files and no subfolders.
3. Installing Macros to Mouse Buttons
3.1 Launching Oscar Editor
Start Oscar Editor (or Anti-Vibrate Oscar Editor, depending on your model).
Ensure your A4Tech X7 mouse is correctly recognized. If the software fails to detect your device, check your USB connection and drivers.
3.2 Assigning the Macro
Select a Programmable Button. The interface typically displays a diagram of your mouse with numbered buttons. Often, the macro is assigned to button “7” (side or middle, depending on the model).
Choose the Desired Macro. In the context menu (or in the list on the right), locate your downloaded macro and click on it.
Assign the Macro to the Button. After selecting the macro file, click “Load” (or “Select Macro”/“OK” as it may be labeled in your interface).
Wait until the progress indicator reaches 100% – this confirms that the new macro has been successfully loaded into your A4Tech X7 mouse.
Once completed, the selected button will perform the programmed actions, which is especially beneficial in fast-paced games like CS2, CS 1.6, Point Blank, PUBG, Warface and others.
4. Additional Notes and Tips
Left Mouse Button (LMB). By default, most X7 models do not allow macros on the LMB. However, certain macro versions use extra configuration in Oscar Editor. If you require this functionality, look for macros marked with "LBM" (these are available for all products).
X7 Keyboard. If you own an X7 keyboard (e.g. G800V) that supports macros, the assignment process is similar. Although the software interface might differ, the logic remains the same: record your actions and assign the resulting macro to a key.
5. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I download X7 macros for free?
A: Yes, free X7 macros for various games (CS 1.6, CS2, Warface, PUBG, as well as graphic editors like CorelDRAW X7) can be found online. However, they are likely outdated and seldom maintained. Creating macros is a time-consuming and intricate process—if you need a high-quality recoil compensation script, private solutions are recommended.
Q: What if my macro isn’t working?
A: Check the following:
That the correct driver for your A4Tech X7 is installed.
That you copied the *.amc file directly into the MacroLibrary folder (without creating subfolders).
You pressed the “Download to Mouse” button and waited until the process completed.
That your Oscar Editor version is compatible with your mouse model (some models work only with certain versions of the software).
Q: How can I create my own X7 macro?
A: Oscar Editor includes macro recording tools. You can record your keystrokes, pauses, etc., step by step and then save the result as an *.amc file. This makes it easy to tailor an X7 macro to your specific needs, though creating effective recoil compensation macros does require specialized knowledge.
