Question Pro 3 Macros: Can someone ELI5 these for me?
Brand new to 8bitdo; I got a Pro 3 last night, and I am trying to understand their macro settings.
If it matters, I am on a Mac, configuring for a Switch, and I'm trying to set a macro for pogo in Silksong: Jump (B), then Down + Slash (A) together.
I read the manual and looked on their website, and went through every option in the software. Am I missing actual directions somewhere?
I recorded a macro and mapped it to a trigger. There's a blue B and a black B, then a blue A and Down Arrow, and a black A and Down Arrow.
My dumb questions:
Why are the inputs duplicated as blue and black on this screen?
As a best practice, how much time do I need to allow between a blue and it's following black?
As a best practice, how much time do I need to allow between ordered commands (B, then Down +A)?
What's a benefit of unifying the interval times?
