What macro software are you using?

I did search something similar too, I ended up buying a sharkoon skiller keyboard for around 25€
it has 4 switchable groups of 6 keys you can bind macros via their software, easy, keys coming from keyboard, works fine
I bought it for $30.
 
Macros can be activated by voice, keyboard, mouse, and flight sticks. Voice recognition doesn't require an internet connection, just training. ED, however requires an internet connection :)
Ya know it doesn't even really need speech training anymore.
I just did a fresh install of Win10 and forgot to train the speech engine at all and it's 100% reliable.

Yeah the speech engine on Win10 is pretty great.
Only problem I have with Voice Attack is: I often whisper "sh*t" to myself when something isn't going my way in the game, and it always interprets this as "Ship" so it opens the ship tab on the right panel :ROFLMAO:
 
I use Voice Attack with the Astra and Verity voice packs plus EDDI.

Once fully integrated it takes away a lot of the tedium inherent in ED.

I'd likely not still be playing ED if it weren't for VA and EDDI

You need to upgrade to the f-word lol
 
AutoHotKey for me. Nothing very sophisticated but I use this script to hold my primary fire button down for mining laser (on/off taken away from the mouse left button, saves me from cramp!). A secondary fire button next to it on my numberpad, fires a collector limpet ..

NumpadMult:: ; primary on
sleep 10
send {Click down} ; push left mouse button and holds
sleep 10
return

NumpadSub:: ; primary off
sleep 10
send {Click up} ; release left mouse button
sleep 10
return

NumpadDiv:: ; secondary click
send {Click right} ; click right mouse button
return
 
I am entertaining this idea, but I'm not always in an environment that is conducive for me talking out loud to my computer. But as long as you brought it up, does Voice Attack rely on the Internet for its speech recognition (like Alexa, Siri, etc.) or is it all done locally on my machine?

Another option I'm looking at is using an Arduino with Bluetooth to build a small control panel with physical buttons that translate to key presses. This obviously is a bit more involved than any macro software I might run in the meantime.
I realize this is a bit old but VA can accept many inputs aside from voice.
 
Bit of a control purist, so none, unless sensitivity slopes count...which I hope to eventually dispense with when I upgrade my HOTAS hardware to something with adjustable cams at some point.
