Q: Can you make the lights any color?
A: Yes, download Alienware FX from Dells website
Q: can you get a replacement for the six button side my one button broke
A: Try DELL customer service to get your question Answered, they are pretty helpful
A: Setting up a delay are personal preference to each person. Delay is going to pause the action for that amount of time before it starts the action. Also once the action starts you have animation time also on top of the delay that you set up. You will have the delay on top of how long it takes for the animation to switch between weapons. If you are just using a one key macro I personally wouldn't set a delay since the delay will happen before the animation for that action will start. Also I would read the terms of use for that specific game to make sure you can even use macros. Games are starting to have built coding that doesn't allow the use of macros which means you can set up the macro perfectly and if the game itself doesn't allow macros, then the set up won't work.
A: Yes, you can do so with macros. Keystrokes are supposed to be the method for changing the side buttons, but for some reason they don't work properly. I've scoured the internet for any solution, but found none. There was a video on YouTube from a small tech channel where the guy went through the issues with it. He had called the Dell tech support and even they couldn't figure their own product out...lol Long story short: use the macro setting to create a macro for the side buttons, e.g., I have one of my side buttons tied to semicolon on the keyboard. The key is to fiddle with the "delay" option a bit until you hit the sweet spot. I couldn't get it to work well with something like push to talk, or anything else that requires you do constantly hold it down. Toggle works well though. So I use push to mute for Discord, for example. Hope this helps! Look for that YouTube video!
Q: How do you program this mouse? No directions & no YouTube videos to help.
A: If your using a windows pc you can download Alienware FX for your computer from dells website.
