TG Macro is a free-to-download and open-source macro recorder and player for Windows PCs. Developed by “trksyln”. It allows you to record and playback sequences of mouse and keyboard actions, which can be used to automate tasks or improve your performance in games. It is at this moment among one of the best and safest mouse & keyboard automation tools.
TGMacro works differently than other macro software, instead of sending direct inputs, it sends its input via your mouse and keyboard and in doing so simulates real hardware input. You can also create and save as many macros as you need and also loop them if it’s needed.

- Press – Key Status: Presses the selected key and releases with only a 1ms delay.
- Down – Key Status: Presses and holds the selected key until release.
- Up-Key Status: Releases the selected key that was held down in Down key status.
Setting Keys For Key Statuses

To record mouse movements and keyboard inputs, first, you’ll need to click on “Add New Macro“. In the Macro Editor window look to the bottom right to find the Record Settings. Here you can either use the CTRL + F10 hotkey or hit the Record button to start recording.
Looping Macros By Mouse Or Keyboard Key Combinations

Importing AMC Recoil Scripts
AMC recoil scripts are just simple scripts in .amc format that are created outside of the TG Macro application. You can still however import them into it and use them as macros to gain an advantage in a game.
To do this click on the File tab to open a drop-down menu and select Import Script from here.
