Hi everyone - just a quick quick question regarding binding my customizable macro keys on my razer blackwidow. I did a search on the topic and the closest answer i could find was here:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=173434

however it was talking about using the macro keys as multiple keystrokes. other threads were talking about using them to store a particular messages such as the 'sup son' emoticon.

my question is a bit different: im wondering if i could use these keys as control group binds instead of, for instance 8. 9. and 0. i would LOVE to use m2, m3, m4 (again this is a razer blackwidow keyboard) as hotkeys for my macro queens to make my injecting better. but is this against blizzard policy?

i can't quite tell, but it certainly looks like DRG uses his m4 macro key for his muta control group:
... so i would imagine this is okay if a progamer is doing it?

if this is possible, it would likely change the entire way i macro (individual queens VS one control group and clicking the minimap VS stretching across the keyboard)

TL;DR: is it "legal" to use my macro keys as control group binds to hotkey individual queens?

thanks!

Yes. Individual key to individual key binds are fine.

I believe as long as there is a 1-to-1 map (that is, you're not using the macro keys to do something like execute 8+shift+e for the spacebar/backspace inject method), it's fine.

Edit: beat me to it!

right i just want to have them be individual control groups just like they were the 8, 9, 0 keys so it would be a 1-to-1 keybind. just wanna do some individual queen injects

thanks! looks like i'll be having fun learning some completely new keystrokes XD

Here's a video of DRG using his macro keys at MLG:

Oddly enough he removed all the macro keys but still seems to use one of them. Anyways if he can do it at MLG im pretty sure its OK
