- 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.
I do not work for EA and i am not associated with the company in any way. I am a player just like you, trying to help wherever i can.I will not answer to any unsolicited PM.
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.
what kind of "big advantage" everything you can do without using macros
@TheFrateX
Macro's will end up in a ban.Every kind of 3rd party software is against the EA User Agreement.

im using bloody mouse, but i never use that software (bloody) which has macro too. this game doesnt need those macro craaap if ur guns level 3 upgrades.
guns with level 3 is almost same has macros.
Hi so check this out....So I have a G.Skill Ripjaws km570 mx keyboard and there is others like it where it has on board macros. I say this because there is no software it works at a hardware level. There on the fly macros witch one has to ask would this be cheating ? Allow me to explain. So a software macro can make you have out of this world key strokes as you can play with the timing in the software. The keyboard macros sense it don't have software you cant play with any timings. You're keys you hit and timing for the keys all have to be put in in real time so it's like something you can already do you are just doing it again. So unless you get a pro player to make the key hits for you or have another person with you pressing other keys it's kind of hard to make it really worth it.
I'm sure this is still bad and can get a account band due to the game might not even know the difference. To the game a macro is a macro at best and it will come up looking the same.
Not only that a player should take pride in playing to there best fully. If anyone is looking for a edge in a video game lets be real there not the best of players and if they spend half the time they spend trying to find way to cheat the system and work on there skills then they would already be a better player then they are. I will never understand people that cheat in games. How can one even feel good when you know you had the unfair advantage on someone. The kind of person that does such a thing id bet is a look at me kind of person rather then a person that is willing to work on themselves. A issue like that goes much beyond any video game and they need reevaluate things in there life. I myself have used macros in video games before but, only to really fool around like have my toon walk around by it's self or have a car make a perfect spin every time and just silly things like that. I never used them for a way to win over another player. I just happen to have them on my keyboard so there always there so from time to time I mess with them just because reasons. After seeing this post though and my goals I have for myself on Apex I think il opp not to even fool around with them. I was just in the training map messing with them and wanted to see if they even were allowed for just because reasons. I wish not to have a ban so my advice for everyone to be not even mess with it.
