So I believe many of you know about this button that exclaims GG when pushed. Well, the first time I saw it I thought "wow cool, a button that triggers a macro which types out GG in the chat and leaves the game". As I soon realized that wasn't the case though and I was very disappointed 
Recently though I came across a website which lets you submit ideas for products, and after going through a voting process they may or may not be produced. So I decided to try it out with this idea!
Link: The GG Button!
It probably is a bit too "niched" to be chosen through that site (which generally produces stuff that solves small everyday problems), but if the SC community helps out and votes it just might work  Or if it doesn't but people like the idea perhaps I will try to get it produced some other way.
So please vote/rate if you like the idea, and we'll see how far that takes us
Below: half-assed preview that I threw together

Wouldn't this be against blizzard's TOS by completing two actions via one keypress? Pretty awesome idea though, I'd buy one just so I wouldn't ever bring up the help screen while furiously trying to F10-N a game.
|
omg... that would make losing suck so much less!
Better yet, put the macro into the nose of a teddy bear or something that I could set up on my desk, and when I lose just punch the shit out of the teddy bear. POW RIGHT IN THE KISSA!

The link doesn't work for me.
Redirects to the main site.

Didn't Crota get one of those. Is that the same thing? It's hilarious! But if you want one that does it ingame GG you could always just make a macro.
|
I was hoping this would be the same as the other GG button, except with a real Korean-sounding gg, and not just some random guy saying gg lamely.

Yea...this is probably illegal.
Reminds me of ghostclaws buttons

...but what if your opponent loses and types out gg
You can't respond by pressing the button D:
Typing out gg would sorta defeat the purpose of even buying the thing =/

If things like this was illegal nobody would still be playing wow, they would have all been banned. Chat macros are fine.

This is probably the biggest concern I have. At this early stage where I honestly doubt it will ever be more than an idea I just don't want to focus too much on problems like this quite yet. What I do think about this is though that it would be programmed in such a way that it should be impossible for Blizz to detect that a macro is being used (making the intervals of the key presses random for example) and then sell it with a warning that it may violate TOS and it's used at your own risk. I have yet to work out details of course.
Fixed link btw, don't know how it got messed up :S

'preciate the effort but.. I'll be fine with pressing 4 key strokes to type gg. :-D

macros are allowed in WoW anyways, they even built in a macro system to the game. However you can't use external software or keyboards to run the macro's in tournament settings.... you aren't even allowed to use addons, you can only use what you can setup with the stock game.
SC2 doesn't allow fore macros that perform multiple actions with one press, WoW actually is the same.... the in game macro system makes you press the key for every action you want to do exluding chat macros... chat macro's probably are fine, they can't tell if its a macro anyways and they won't ban you for it.... but any other macro's can get you banned.

I'm really not sure what to think about this. On the one hand, it's a funny idea. On the other, it makes me sad that there would probably be people that throw away their money to buy something that does nothing but enter 4 keystrokes that they could do within a split second on a keyboard that they already have a hand on...
|
Not really useful for me as I don't type gg anyway, I leave.
|
Frankly I like the "fake" GG button more :/
|
|
|
This sounds so poitless to me, can't you just type gg and leave, do you really need a macro for that?

I tend to gg when i loose but it is usually followed by something like "you fucking douchbag". I would buy this because it would reduce the amount of my BM.

Well, as I should perhaps emphasize this button is not mainly for cutting down on keystrokes. Simply put it's for the lulz
