Wrong. Only queueing up macros for a single button is illegal. For example, if pressing a side mouse button selects a queen and then tells it to inject larva, that is illegal. But simply assigning a side mouse button to 0 or 9 is perfectly legal.

1 button = 1 command = legal
1 button = 2+ commands = illegal


Pretty much this. I wonder why blizzard didn't implement any sort of re-binding system (WoW had it :\)

So i can use logitech setpoint to assign like a command center(control group 4) to the side buttons on my mouse as long as it only selects the command center?


If the side-button only sends the #4, then it's perfectly fine. If it sends 4s that's cheating. There's no reason players can't configure their inputs in a way that's convenient, as long as they aren't using a program to add inputs that the player doesn't have to execute.

i did that for my logitech mx518, however after playing like 200 games i started to feel some pain, due to the high usage of mouse buttons ( for example 7 used for cc, witch was my mouse button 4, my hand posture became really weird, after that i changed to number 5 better but the pain was still there.... so i was forced to go back to my keyboard bindings.

You can use them for something like upgrades structures, however i would highly recommend sticking to keyboard, as you never know when you might have software problems, cant install anything on tourney computers etc.

I like having more control group hotkeys that are suitable for units (basically buttons that are at a convenient distance to press). Just 3 groups (1-3, 4+ for macro related stuff) isn't enough when you start having a lot of specialized (infestor, ghost, etc.) units, and I like the possibility of having ad-hoc control groups for stuff like drops.

Hey guys, a question related to the issues discussed thus far in the thread:

I have been doing the same thing - using a program to have my mouse buttons register as keyboard presses. My concern is that, theoretically, if I ever wanted to go play in a tournament I'd be screwed because the way I'm currently accomplishing this is via a third party program.

I've seen Razer mouses advertise "Synapse On-board Memory" - would these carry these switched keybindings around with them so that, for instance, if I just plugged the mouse into a new computer, they'd retain the keybinds? Or should I, for consistency's sake, force myself to relearn the default hotkey setup without using mouse binds?

I have shift and control on my mouse buttons.

I attempted to make a macro when the mineral bug existed, but stopped when I found out I could be banned for it.
