I've seen a few 'SC2 keyboards' that have macros. Strange that they would ban because of that :O I don't think the top players will use it anyway. | ||

I have a hard time believing Blizzard would purposefully sell a license to Razer to build a "Starcraft II Gaming Keyboard" that facilitates cheating. The third bullet point is "On-The-Fly Macro Recording allows for Effortless Configuration". Either 1) This is a very bad case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing or 2) Hardware-level keyboard macros will not get you banned in sc2 and this dude is lying | ||

Yes, it can do Macros. No, you are not allowed to use them for more than one action(One click one action). It wouldn't matter if you used theirs, or some random third party one. | ||

In-game macros were fine as the API limited what was possible. | ||

Because SC2 also has one http://www2.razerzone.com/sc2/marauder.php and Blizzard obviously doesn't care if your keyboard has Macro abilities as long as you don't use them in their game. Else they wouldn't license them now would they ? | ||

If you think that blizzard staff designed any of these products I don't know what to say. | ||

the other thing is if you set up your macros properly with "human" time in between clicks i don't understand how blizzard would be able to detect it in the first place. there were a lot of threads about that subject. the use of macros is obviously cheating because it gives you a huge advantage and if its true that blizzard is supporting a keyboard with a macro feature on it by razer then they are the biggest fucking morons ever because they are contradicting what they said. | ||
