The GHOST macro engine software is a nice extensive suite where a wide variety of preferences can be set up in several profiles. Configurable DPI levels, button assignments and so on. The first 'page' of the software allows you to select the device you are customizing, that or access the Aivia forums, direct access to the Gigabyte website and update the firmware.

Once we select the mouse we get to see its options, and there are quite a few of them ranging from profiles, sensitivity, DPI, report rate in HZ to even customizing the OLED screen with a screen-saver image of your preference.

Here we have quick launch button assignments - whatever is your preference man. You could assign a calculator to the left click button if needed.

Each of the buttons can be programmed individually with a fixed function or macro profile. When it comes to recording macros, each profile allows up to 70 macros to be stored to the unit's built-in memory. This also contains many functions like launching a set of common applications like calculator, Internet Explorer, E-mail, media player, etc. Selecting Macro brings up a wide range of options with the ability to give it a specific name or even import/exporting macros for a later time. 

Why would you need a macro? Say you need to load a certain weapon, usually you have to click your keyboard keys 3, maybe even 5 times before that weapon is armed and activated. With the software you can record such actions. And with the press of a button within milliseconds that weapon is now loaded. The sky is the limit here. These macros are saved into the mouse's memory by the way.
