Dead Rails Macro — Banjo Macro Recorder for Windows

Record your mouse clicks and keystrokes once, replay them instantly with a hotkey. Dead Rails Macro captures every action — perfect for game combos, repetitive tasks, and testing workflows.

What Is Dead Rails Macro?

Dead Rails Macro is a free Windows utility that records everything you do with your keyboard and mouse, then plays it back exactly the same way on demand. Press F9 to start recording, perform your action sequence, and press F10 whenever you want to replay it. Every keystroke, mouse click, and cursor movement is captured and repeated identically.

The tool works globally — hotkeys trigger from any window, whether you're in a game, browser, or full-screen application. It's lightweight, requires no account or sign-up, and saves each macro as a file you can load anytime.

Common Use Cases

Game players use Dead Rails Macro to automate combo sequences and farming loops — record a spell rotation or resource-gathering routine, then loop it as many times as needed. Since input is sent as hardware scan codes, playback works in full-screen games.

Data entry teams record form-filling patterns or copy-paste workflows. Testing teams record a test scenario once and replay it identically to verify that an application behaves consistently.

The macro also works in web browsers and remote sessions, making it useful for any repetitive digital task where you need the exact same actions performed multiple times.

How to Set Up Your First Macro

  1. Install on Windows 8.1 or newer Download the zip file and run the installer. Windows may ask for permission on first launch — choose Run anyway.
  2. Press F9 to record Start recording, then perform the exact sequence you want to repeat: clicks, typed text, keyboard shortcuts, mouse movements — all captured.
  3. Press F10 to play back Replay the entire macro. Use the repeat count setting to run it once or loop it hundreds of times without stopping.
  4. Adjust playback speed before starting Choose original pace, faster, or slower. Speed is locked during playback — press F10 again or Stop to change it and restart.
  5. Save and reuse Every macro is saved as a file. Load it later to run the same routine without re-recording.

Important Limitations

Macros that include mouse movement depend on your screen resolution — if you switch monitors or change resolution, mouse-based macros may not work as recorded. For maximum portability, record macros that use only clicks and keyboard input, which work on any setup.

There is no undo for individual actions during recording. If you make a mistake, delete the macro file and record again from the start.

Check the rules of any online game or application before using macros — the tool simply replays normal keyboard and mouse input, but some platforms may restrict automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does Dead Rails Macro record?

Keystrokes (including shortcuts and typed text), mouse clicks, and mouse movement. After recording, it displays a summary showing how many clicks, keys, and moves were captured.

Can I change playback speed while the macro is running?

No. Set your desired speed (original, faster, or slower) before pressing F10. To change speed, press F10 again or use Stop, then restart at a different pace.

Will my macro work on a different monitor or resolution?

Only if it uses clicks and keystrokes with no mouse movement. Movement-based macros are tied to your current screen resolution. Clicks-and-keys-only macros work anywhere.

Can I load a macro I saved earlier?

Yes. Every macro is saved as a file. Load it anytime to replay the same routine without re-recording.

Does this work in games and full-screen applications?

Yes. Since input is sent as hardware scan codes, playback works in full-screen games, web browsers, and remote sessions.

Is Dead Rails Macro really free?

Yes. No account, no sign-up, no cost. Download the zip, install it, and start recording.
