Need some MACRO education...

[Anomaly1964]

Ok...so I have this Gigabyte keyboard with this really cool MACRO program, 5 macro keys, the works. Thing is, in all the gaming I have done, I have never used MACRO keys. I hear that they are good for MMOs.

Are MACROS basically as series of ATTACKS that you program one after the other into ONE button as opposed to having to hit an individual button for each attack?

Thanks for any input!
