Are mice that support macros banned?
https://support.pubg.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012068834-Can-I-use-a-macro-mouse-
This says that mice which support macros are prohibited.
I'm getting a Steelseries Rival 600 but i won't be using any of its' game-enhancing features.
Does this mean i can't use a mouse i bought for such an expensive price to play pubg?

Oh,i see.
So i just have to keep it off and i'm good,then?
I mean,the devs have a tendency to sometimes ban people for nothing.

I have been playing almost daily for a year with this mouse.

If you make macros/rapid fire buttons with the steelseries engine program and then use those ingame, yes that will most likely trigger alerts. Just dont write any macros for ingame use and youre fine.

Only third party softwares that supports macros aren't allowed in steam. Mouses aren't included if they're applied on it.

Steam is not PUBG.
Manipulators named "mouse" what does support macros on hardware level are blocked in PUBG.
For an example: mouse with the button for "rapid fire".

what'd happen if you kept macros on for another game and then turned them off in pubg?
for example bhop macros in csgo

You are right and i never would go some way like bluehole.

The most reason for the ban was the practise of selling cheats, not the macro features at all.

And this is ok. They should stop the practise for them self, because people like me will stop to buy the products..... I use some old a4tech keyboard which was cheap, but pretty good.

i fight with my self to buy another board from them.

Like most have said the mouse itself is fine

Just as long as you don’t use any macros when using the mouse

Macros are cheats, they should all be banned. imho
Any time you are using a script to do actions for you, it's a cheat. Whether its to bhop, or whatever. If it wasnt helping you to do it perfect every time, you wouldnt be using it.

We need all game companies to be like bluehole, zero tolerance for cheating. And macros are definitely cheating.

I am glad to read that you know that they are trying to catch them....

How ever, macros are very hard to detect, even if evrey company would try this.
Thats why they block the hole device. There is no other way to stop this.
