Will my Logitech G502 gaming mouse or its software cause trouble in BF4 online?

I'll first explain where I am coming from in order to describe my reasons for asking this question.
So I recently bought a Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum gaming mouse which I have connected to its Logitech Gaming Software, but it also has an onboard memory setting, not to mention that it also functions without the entire software but in that case with system default settings. Before this I had a basic 4 button bluetooth mouse which worked fine with BF4 Online. But before this new mouse I never even knew about the existence of such things as macros, commands or programmable buttons etc.

In all other games I have I play offline about 90% of the time, and while discovering the world of macros, commands and shortcuts with the help of my new mouse I have configured some commands and macro features for some games and programs (but only making profiles for certain games, configuring simple key bindings/or multiple-key commands to the mouse buttons and NO automated clicks or scripts whatsoever).

However, after reading online I have noticed that this or similar topics are a big no-no and could lead to kicks, bans and so on if you decide to join online gaming servers etc such as Battlefield 4 Online in my case. So, my question refers to a few areas within the details explained above since I could not find any specific thread anywhere else.
(Please see attached screenshots of two examples from software config. and one of the onboard memory config. and please excuse the Swedish language shown)

1. Can I still join/play legally according to the EA/PB TOS as long as I have no automated click macros? Or do I have to delete those and have a specific mouse profile for BF4 with only the simple, traditional mouse-button configuration active?

2. Or does even the second alternative mentioned above still trigger cheat monitoring just because I have its software installed and active? Alternatively, what if it is installed but active simultaneously as BF4 Online?

3. If the second alternative in 2. also does not work, would I be able to join and play by uninstalling the mouse's software? 

4. OR do I seriously need to use another mouse while playing BF4 Online?

Please respond since I think these questions could also help many others. I have so far not ran the BF4 launcher at all because I tried to do some research and avoid risking my account or simply not being able to join or remain in servers.

Many many thanks in advance for your time and effort!
Sincerely,
