Today Hator Gaming is happy to present the beta-version release of Hator Gaming software for managing peripherals. We kindly appreciate all customers who have already purchased Hator Gaming products for their trusting and patient attitude, as the delayed software launching has not been scheduled and, alas, we have been forced to make a lot of changes when the product has been already available for selling.
We would like to note that this is just the first release of software beta-version which includes the most essential functions for managing backlight, reassigning function keys, DPI modes and writing macros for Hator Gaming devices. Current version presents the software as a separate driver for each device.
For the future, we plan to perform ongoing enhancement of software localization and functions. If you have any comments on its operation or suggestions for its improvement, please let us know by filling out the appropriate form on the link.
The below-given instruction manual is targeted at new users and will help them understand the software basic functionality of Hator Gaming devices and assist in its customization.

The menu bar at the top is responsible for downloading and saving of available configuration presets, as well as for complete resetting of all changes made. “Setting” button switches you to the menu of button functions changing and profile selecting, “Backlight” button is responsible for configuration menu of RGB backlight modes and profiles, “Macros” button switches you to a macro editor, and “DPI change” button is responsible for mouse sensor setting menu.
Changing the mouse button functions. Profiles of button setting.
Menu for changing the mouse button functions is available by pressing the “Setting” button in software main menu.
In the open menu, you can reassign any mouse button, excepting the LMB, to any other command or macro. To do this, by pressing the button please select in the list the function you want to change and choose the appropriate command from a drop-down list.
Having selected one of the configurations at the top of the program window, you can create a custom profile of settings for a certain game or application and switch to it using “Layout change” command or manually.
To save or cancel all the changes you have made, click Accept or Cancel button in the bottom right corner of the program.
Macro manager. Writing and assigning of macros.
Macro manager or editor is a menu where the user can write his own macro before assigning it to the mouse button. For recording you can use both keyboard shortcuts and mouse commands.
Let’s consider interface of the macro editor window.
Set one of the three delay modes before recording the macro. You can record the button exact hold time, set manually a time of delay between in or record macros without delay.
1) Record a delay.
In this mode the program will remember how long each key has been pressed before releasing.
2) Set a delay.
In this mode between each of user’s commands, there will be set a certain delay within the specified range (from 1 to 9999 MS)
3) Recording without delay
In this mode macro will be recorded without delay between user’s commands.
When delay mode is set, you can start recording the macro. Press the “Start recording” button and run the necessary sequence of commands using keyboard or mouse buttons. The maximum length limit of a macro for Hator Gaming mice is 60 commands.
You are able to edit a ready macro by changing the delay time manually. Editing window opens by double-clicking the LMB on delay value.
To paste, copy, delete or change the sequence of commands in the recorded macro, please use “More Choices” buttons of the drop-down list and “Move up”, “Delete” or “Move downward” buttons
The number of default macro playback loops is to 1, but you can change this value up to 255 in “Total loops” column.
To assign a macro, please return to the setting menu of mouse buttons. Press LMB on the button where you are going to assign a macro and choose in the drop-down list the appropriate parameter “Macros”
In open window please choose the respective macro that we have created earlier in macro-editor and specify the playback looping.
The program supports 3 types of playback loops.
- The macro will be run a number of times set in “Total loops” column that has been specified in the editor or before the button is pressed again. Should you not specify any values in this column, it will run 1 time by default.
- Repeat before the button is pressed. In this mode the macro will loop indefinitely until you press the macro command button again.
- Repeat before the button is released. In this mode the macro will be played back while the command button is held down.
