Does rapid firing could be a VAC reason?

[{OG} MasterPiece]

I got my new mouse and it has a rapid fire button on it. When i hold on a button, it rapidly fires a pistol on csgo. It makes tec-9 really fast. Is it a VAC reason?

If it involves having identifiable cheats installed, sure.

I doubt you would get a vac ban from it but it could cause some game servers to ban you because of it.

it doesnt changes files, only a macro that makes so much clicks per second so i dont think its a VAC reason but maybe its a overwatch reason. But i dont think a mouse would cause a ban.

i dont believe VAC/battleeye detects macros like razer synapse as a cheat, but if you read ToS, having a rapid fire macro its a bannable offense 100%.

[{OG} MasterPiece]

can you give a link to ToS

[SmollBrain 🏹]

no, macros do not cause vac bans

i searched more about it and i learned that it isnt a ban reason. Because it doesnt change a guns fire speed, it only uses it in its max capacity.

That sounds about right, a macro would just fire the gun as fast as it can be fired. If you bypassed the actual firing speed of the gun to make it shoot faster than designed, that would be a problem.

Guys, I have the same doubt. And I have tried to get an answer from steam, and they haven't made it clear. I'll paste my question and steam support's answer, so that you can judge it.

I'm choosing this way of communication with steam because my researches through forums and community discussions weren't helpful enough with my doubt. My question is simple. It requires a short explanation, though: I've recently bought a new mouse, from brand Multilaser, model MO207 (as you guys can see in the following link: http://www.multilaser.com.br/mouse-multilaser-gamer-profissional-warrior-7-botoes-3200-dpi-preto-usb---mo207/p) to play CS:GO.
This mouse has a "turbo fire" button, which not only fires twice with one click, such as fires as quickly as possible with pistols without requiring multiple clicks, but only by holding it pressed. It looked to me, inicially, something that gives me an unfair advantage, so, since I'm not sure if I could get banned for using it, I haven't used it in competitive games. The point is: can I use this "turbo fire" button in competitive games? Or will it be a reason for me to get banned? It looks like the community isn't certain about that issue, and a pronunciation could be useful, since I've seen many mouses with that same button being sold around the place I live, and since others have wondered about the same question in the community forums without consistent answers. Thanks in advance! Respectfully, Pedro.

Hello. We do not provide analysis of third party software or for VAC compliance. Any third party software or other modifications you use in conjunction with Steam should be done at your own discretion.

Only cheats (modifications designed to give one player an advantage over other players) will trigger a VAC ban.

If you have questions about a specific third party application, please contact the developer of the application for assistance.

So now, what should I do?
Use the "turbo fire" (I'd call it auto-fire too) button, or not?
