Funny story about me and an accidental macro.

Fluff

Don't know if this fits in this subreddit. But I guess it kinda does since it was a Razor issue.

Actually I don't even know if these kind of posts are allowed here but I can't keep quiet about it. It was too funny.

So there was a day I was talking about Nier Automata to a friend. I'm not sure how but I pressed my FN key along with F9. I think I wanted to like press FN and 0 but misclicked or something. So I noticed it glowing but never really bothered to do anything with it. So after I was done talking about Nier I just decided to press FN and F9 (and that's when the magic happened - the macro recorded).

So I slept after that, woke up and everything was normal until I pressed F9 again (which is my shadowplay key - the key used to record my last 1.5 minutes) and then my computer just suddenly started writing by itself. Now I wasn't familiar with macros so I just got really freaked out and thought I got a virus or something with remote control so I shut down my PC, got an eset repair disc and scanned my entire PC (and that took 7 hours). Imagine me surprised when it found no viruses or threats. I was so helpless and thought about formatting my PC but I went to bed after that.

Come the next day I booted up the PC I just hoped the virus wasn't there. I didn't enter any passwords or anything and just waited. So after waiting an hour or so not much happened and I thought the virus is gone somehow but was still very wary. At some point I decided to clean my keyboard and realized that as soon as I hit F9 it was just writing things again. And realized that it was the same shit I was saying back when I Was talking about Nier Automata. Looking back it was really stupid. It recorded all the SHIFTS, enters, etc so it made me so fucking scared at the time but when I opened razer synapse I realized what was bound to my F9 key.

I felt like an idiot and realized I should probably take a break from the internet for some time..
