Macro Key (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Macro key is a key that was featured on various early PC keyboards. It is typically found on the lower rows of the keyboard, either to the left of the "Z" key or to the right of the right Control key. While most keyboard layouts treat it as a backslash, it has a different scan code, so keyboard layouts or programs use the scan code directly, or they can choose to handle it differently. On many new, top-of-the-line computer mice, there are built in macro keys. These mice often come with a software specifically designed to fit the needs of that mouse.
