Default Re: Macro Tablet

Besides, unless typing [MACRO]XXX[*] is more keystrokes than what the macro does it is still a time saver. On the tablet, you would have to hunt up where the macro you want lives and hit it with the stylus, which, by the time you do that you probably could have keyed the macro number. Also, by keying, you never have to leave the keypad, which in itself is a time saver. With the macro tablet, you are hosed if you loose the stylus as well.
