Choose your Software
To make and edit macros you need the software corresponding to your mouse manufacturer. For this guide, I'll be demonstrating with Logitech G-Hub.
Choose which profile you will be assigning the macro to
You can either do this with your desktop or Dead By Daylight profile but your DBD profile is recommended. I just did it with my desktop profile because I'm lazy. Your main screen will look like this:
Navigate to macros menu
Click the device picture in the center of the screen:

Next you will select the assignments tab which is the second option of the three tabs on the left, it will have a plus sign symbol as the picture. From this menu you will select the macros menu as shown below:

Then you will click to create a new macro, give it a name, and choose an input method. I would recommend selecting "Repeat while holding".
Configuring the Macro
The first steps to configuration are to toggle off the default delay and begin recording inputs numbered steps below:

After clicking "Start Now" you will select to record keystrokes, then proceed to click Right Mouse Button twice or whatever your input for using the flashlight is. (You may need to click down for a second or two for it to register.)

After doing so, you will delete the last two registered inputs and delay where you will then have a product like so:

Then, edit the delay times so that they are both 10 ms, as seen below:

Now you will give the macro a color and assign it a button on your mouse/keyboard.
Making Profiles Work In-Game
If you selected the Dead By Daylight profile you may not have to do this step. The purpose of this section is if you have the same issue as me where your profiles change constantly to the improper ones needed for the open app(s).

You will need to set a persistent profile. To do this, navigate to the top right in the main menu of G-Hub and open the settings cog wheel.

From here, navigate to the persistent profiles section of settings:

In persistent profiles you will select the profile you set up your macro on and set it as the persistent profile. This means that the profile will stay active regardless of what application you are using or have open, making it so that the macro will work outside of DBD.
DOne
As a survivor, you now should have the ability to taunt the killer at every pallet and window. With the intention of making them quit the game or express their disdain in the post-game chat.

Any issues can be consulted in the comments by me or anyone else who followed the guide. However, any problems should first be attempted in solving via reviewing the guide once more before leaving a comment.

The author both encourages toxic behavior, ruinous gameplay and new methods to scare away new players.

OP, you realize your kind is one of the reasons games die right?

True, I've assigned to the side buttons and it works perfectly, you can just hold if you want longer.

You could, but being able to click every 2 milliseconds is funny:ujel:

Can you not assign it to the scroll wheel? Only the middle click button, it's the best method for spamming.

what part doesn't work? I have both a g203 and g502 and got the macro to work on both. If its an issue with assigning it to a button then usually its a case of trial and error, as that section of Ghub and be buggy.
