Logitech standard keyboard & mice macros not safe?

[SpeedyBulle✟]

I have been googling about this and stumbled upon alot of topics about people saying they got banned, not banned the same goes for the Razer Synapse software that alot of people use.

I have a Logitech G910 keyboard and a Logitech G203 Prodigy mouse. To every "G" macro key on my keyboard I have macro functions bound for in Windows. Some of them very simple like open Outlook for email, lock PC, or open browser for weather forecast. I also have one more advanced macro that when I press it, it opens my Norton anti virus and launches a quick scan.

While playing Rust I have already pressed that macro key (which is close to my W key on my AZERTY layout keyboard, and yes I have deformed fingers) a couple times actually launching my Norton quick scan macro in-game (yes this is very annoying lol) and I did not get banned.

I was actually thinking about using the "multi key macro" from the Logitech software to be able to pickaxe soft sided stone and metal walls while being AFK so it automatically switches to the next pickaxe in your hotbar when the current pickaxe breaks. Having read about various players being banned by using Logitech Gaming Software keyboard / mouse macros or Razer Synapse I should probably not push my luck and stay away from these more advanced keyboard macros. Although in my experience nothing went wrong but I might have dodged the bullet idk...

Sucks of course that Logitech integrates macro functionality on their gaming keyboards and mice and you can not even use them without the guarantee you will not be banned. But people intentionally using these kinds of software to do naughty stuff and make some kind of advanced recoil macro mouse script and actually stay undetected would be way worse.

It would be cool if Facepunch / EAC would clearly state what is allowed with the macros and hotkeys that come on almost every modern day gaming keyboard or mouse. Then you know what is allowed and safe and which things you should not try and stay away from if you don't want to get bamboozeled by the relentless banhammer.

Remember folks: If you commit a crime EAC will make sure you'll do the time!

Anyone else using the Logitech Gaming Software and actually have basic in-game keyboard / mouse binds that work and are safe & allowed to be used? Things for example like: wall pickaxing, auto sprint, combatlog, toggle laser on when aiming down sight. etc. etc.

TL;DR I have deformed fingers.

Mate don’t use crap for picking especially auto scrolling to change picks..... I just stick my ash tray on my mouse button, simple and not banable, if you really want to mess about then mess about with in game key binds

That is indeed the safest option but with in-game binds you are of course way more limited in what you can do with them ^^

EAC already clearly states that ANY 3rd party script is a bannable offense. Doesn't matter if its for your gaming mouse or not. Now you know what is allowed. Use it on other games that don't use EAC. Pretty simple. Crying about it in a game forum that does use EAC will get you no where.
