Ofc. You will get banned.

 

I have logitech mouse, didn't even used macros, and got banned (probably the logitech software made so?).

After contacting support which was supposed to answer within 72h, they answered after 240h (9 days) giving not intelligent, automatic answer (didn't even give any real reason for ban).

 

If they really want to get rid of macros from game, they would add little bit randomized recoil and dead-time between shots. This would completely get rid of no recoil and rapidfire macros.

 

Thinking their logic now, they should ban: razer, corsair, a4tech, logitech, hyperx, sharkoon and all other mices and keyboards.

If you are running macros or scripts through your keyboard or mouse software it violates most games TOS. If you are just using it to remap a button it isnt. To the people claiming they got banned for using logitech's software. I have a g502 as do the vast majority of the friends I play with. None if us have received a ban. My guess is you ran some kind of script listed above and got banned because you violated the TOS. Pubg was giving out bans for people running the jump crouch macro.

And using voice recognition software, which don't give a advantage due to his own voice recognition lag, but is useful to call the map, or start or stop video record, or to take screenshot and some other minor tasks that don't affect the gameplay?

Ofc, isn't the solution for rapid actions like, aiming, firing, reloading, running, jumping, refill life or energy, ... but useful for some parallel tasks as I mention above.

I think that it can be used, afterall, it's the same as a keyboard or mouse key/macro but much slower, with no pratical effect on game play.

Yes, macros can land you a ban. Do not use them. Just because the mouse came with the ability to write/record macros does not mean that macros are permitted in this game.

Generally speaking what is permitted is rempaing buttons to other buttons and each button performing one button action. For example you might want to bind your W to your left click and you fire to your M5 you can do that. This is not going to land you a ban. Using a macro that presses more than one buttons and at specific patterns (delay) that can land you a ban and will most likely trigger the anticheat system. Scripts are out of the question they are 99% insta ban.

Hope this helps.

I think macros are okay if you compare to aimbot

LOL, What?  They can be complex and can be used to a big advantage.  It's cheating and you will be banned.

Macro's will end up in a ban.

Every kind of 3rd party software is against the EA User Agreement.
