Are the macros stored on board? Does the keyboard require any installed software to properly function?

To utilize the standard typing function, no software is required - simply plug-and-play. For more advanced settings, macros can be configured and stored directly on the keyboard. Once a macro is set, it can be utilized without the need for additional software, even on another computer. Perixx Team

Do the keys light up?

No. We will have the wireless backlit version available in the coming few months.

How do i use a macro once assigned? if i assign to a key, does the macro fire every time i press that key? how then do i use that key normally?

Hello, You can switch between profiles by using the M1, M2, M3, and M4 buttons. M1, M2, M3, and M4 are buttons used to record and switch profiles. You can switch between profiles that have macros set up or the keyboard's default profile with no macros. For example, if you are currently on the M1 profile and you set up a macro_1 assigned to the F1 key, the macro_1 will only execute when you are on the M1 profile. If you switch to M2, the F1 key will still have its original function. Each M profile can store up to 10 sets of macros. For example, you can set M1 as the default keyboard profile with no macros, M2 as the work profile with macros assigned to less frequently used keys for launching certain applications, and M3 as the gaming profile with macros set up for gaming purposes. I hope this answer is helpful to you. Perixx Team

How hard is it to press keys? My fingers hurt when keys require a lot of force to push.

The tactile switch requires 50g, so it is a moderate spec. Your finger may not feel familiar with the ergo mapping, and we will advise you to test it in a few more days. If it is not getting better, you may switch to a different type of keyboard like our latest separate keyboard PERIBOARD-524 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRBFM65D?ref=myi_title_dp
