Exclamation Saitek "Cyborg Keyboard" - How do you stop a macro?

Hello all, I just got a new keyboard from Saitek, they Cyborg Keyboard


I created a macro using the Profiler Editor and under "New Advanced Command"

I made a macro with the intention of it lasting for approximately 1 hour. It's just a simple command that types something and repeats it over and over and over again for over 1 hour.

I would like to know how to stop this macro once I activate it... I really don't feel like waiting 1 hour for it to stop. (And before you ask or suggest, I do not want to shorten the macro... I purposely made it 1 hour long because I need it to be that long)

I tried stopping the macro by pressing esc or trying to access the editor or trying to "Clear Profile" using the taskbar icon... but that simply crashes my computer. The macro itself left alone runs perfectly... I just want to know how to stop it.


Please reply ASAP, thank you all.

If you want it to run that long, why would you need to stop it early?

I'm just a beginner with macros, how would I proceed to writing a macro to stop the previous one?

When the macro runs I can't do anything else as it would mess with the macros intention in the program its running. So at times I find myself in a situation that the macro has to be stopped. This is why I need to know how to stop it, without crashing my pc

I was going to say this, but does that also crash your PC? Contact Saitek if that's the case...

gonX ... Yes, I did try to unplug it, but it also crashes my computer.

So apart from contacting Saitek... no idea on how to stop the macro itself? or how to create another macro to stop the one currently running?


Thank you for reply
