Today most gaming keyboards have programmable function keys which you can individually configure. So does my Logitech G910. However, the Logitech Gaming Software on default only allows me to bind other keys or combinations. In games like ArmA 3 a few extra keys are good to have – so let’s change that!

What you need

  • Autohotkey (which you can download here)
  • Software to rebind your function keys (in my case the Logitech Gaming Software)

Step 1 – Download and install AutoHotkey

Pretty straight forward, just download the software and follow the instructions in the installer.

Step 2 – Make a news AutoHotkey Script

Right click in Windows Explorer, select “New”, “AutoHotkey Script” and enter a fance name. Right click on the file and select “Edit Script”. At the end of the script add

MButton::
   Send {F13}
Return

now save the script and double click to run it.

Step 2 – Bind your keys

Open your keyboard manufacturers software and select a macro key. Now it prompts you to enter a key. Click on your middle mouse button and save the key binding. You can now terminate AutoHotkey by right clicking the green “H” icon in your task bar and select “Exit”.

If you want, you can change the script (change the F13 to whatever key you like from F13 to F24) and redo step two, to bind even more keys. After you are done, you can delete your script file and uninstall AutoHotkey.
