A little BM of mine is when a player is lagging to spam one of my macro keys an infinite number of times, each press macro'd to type the letter "D" 25 times each in just milliseconds. I get a nice wall of text and a lot of hate if their lag ever happens to stop. | ||

They don't "endorse" macro keyboards. Their official, well-documented rule is using a macro keyboard is OK, but using it to bypass limitations of a manual user playing the game is not allowed. In WoW, it's one hardware event = one action. A hardware event is defined as both a key press and a release of the same key. An action is one ability limited by the global cooldown. Basically, if you use a single hardware event macro to chain a series of actions that would normally take a user multiple hardware events it's illegal. The situation is a little different in SC2 since it doesn't differentiate between key press and release for events (i.e. holding down a key will continually send an event while it's depressed), however the concept is the same; Using a macro to chain multiple separate unit / building queues is completely against the spirit of the game. I think the immediate ban was a bit of an overreaction, this deserved as least a warning... But the fact that they're preventing play like this is positive for the game. | ||

I don't know jack about WoW, but in the business sense of endorsing, they've certainly endorsed an sc2 keyboard with macros. See the Razer Marauder keyboard that people mentioned earlier in the thread. | ||

That being said, I'd really like Blizz to WARN people first. I think that a lot of people would be unaware that they are cheating, and having to buy a new game is a bit much. Just send a warning basically saying what the offense is, and give you a time period (like 3 days?) that you have to change it, or face a ban. | ||

Record unlimited macros on-the-fly without having to take your eye off the game and immediately change between up to 10 profiles without the hassle of going into complex driver menus." | ||

I use a razer mouse with 2 side buttons configured to minimap pinging, and to 0,E (spawn probe) Is this bannable? It's not giving me an unfair advantage, and There is an option to insert delays if necessary. All I use it for is pinging and probes. | ||

The one about spawning probes I guess your using one click for two actions, i.e. clicking 0, the E. WHICH is NOT allowed. You should have followed this- one click, one action. | ||
