Calomancer Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'm trying to create shortcuts for my Dell Monitor using the DDM.exe command line options and the Utility Engine. Basically you run ddm.exe with some arguments and it switches your screen's input. It switches inputs fine when the screen is looking at the computer's input. (ie, if I press the button to switch to DP or HDMI it will) When it switches to HDMI (or other inputs) the Macro/Action Stops functioning. Anyone have any ideas what's up with this? I have a K65 RGB for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Did you link an application to the profile with all the macros? It's likely that it may have lost focus when the input source switched. If so, try setting that profile as the default and see whether that changes anything. (Move the profile to the top of the list and remove the application link) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calomancer Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 The profile is the default. (saved to the keyboard) and there is no linked application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Is this a monitor with a in-built KVM switch? E.g. You connect the keyboard to the monitor and it allows it to be used on a second system? If so, the actions/macros will not work as CUE will also need to run on the second system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switching your monitor to an input which is not controlled by your K65 RGB keyboard will produce the effect that your Macro/Action stops functioning, when actually it is simply that your display does not show what your keyboard is up to.
