Automated Keyboard/Mouse Recorder Macros

So I'm performing a monotonous task on some lame computational software that requires me to click a certain spot and type the same thing over and over again. As such I've recently been looking for a decent free keyboard/mouse recorder macro, but most of the ones I've found. I was wondering if anyone here has used them, and which ones are decent.



None.

I think you're missing a qualifier here. :P

I've used AC Tool in the past. It lets you do mouseclicks at variable x/y coordinates and output keystrokes.
Its macros work a lot like simple programming languages and thus can handle functions and calculations to make it more flexible.
It also has a function to read the color of a pixel, so you could make it scan for a specific icon on your desktop and let it click it. That's pretty tedious though.

Haven't used any other scripting programs so I can't compare weaknesses/strengths. Just try it out.

Are you sure that AC Tool works as a general macro and not just as a macro for a single MMO?



None.

Yup.
I should have mentioned that I have used it for general purpose browser clicking and not for Asheron's Call which it has been designed for originally.

Thanks for the response, I tried it out. AC Tool seems pretty easy to use, but I think I found another one I prefer. Auto Clicker Typer
They are very similar though, so I think only prefer it because I started using it first.



None.

It's not a recorder (so far as I know, anyways) - scripts have to be made manually - but I'm a fan of Autoit for any kind of computer automization.

Re-reading your post, it might actually be overkill.
But I still think everyone should know about it.



None.

that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
