Will i get banned for using a macro to rebind a button?

@l776-MaverickHey there, using macros to perform an automated movement or shooting mechanic for you is a bannable offense. Remapping a key to another key, however, is not.

@l776-Maverick 

As @E9ine_AC stated yes using Macros is banable. Perform it at your own risk.

@OldTreeCreeper was trying to help you out so no need to get all nasty about it.

Maybe you should re-read the terms of service agreement that you agreed to. 

@E9ine_ACThis is what I was thinking. I use an Elite 2.0 controller on Xbox, and can remap any of my controller buttons however I see fit. It's built into the controller, an official Xbox controller, so I don't see how moving a button would be a bannable offense, personally. None of my paddles are on the default setting, as I remapped all 4 of them to my own preference. I even switch around the face buttons and bumpers/triggers on some games

Wow your the only helpful person on here, thanks

So the actual expert already said that using macros to rebind keys is not bannable, I asked because I didn’t know no because “deep down” I think there’s something wrong, because personally I think it’s totally fine 

Hi guys, bickering does no good, let's keep things civil.
I will say that your initial question is a little unclear to me so please forgive me if I misinterpret.

If you want to use m5 as a key, you can just rebind it to a function via in-game means.
However it sounds like you want to use it as a key that replicates the function of a moving mousewheel. This would absolutely not be ok, it would be using a single keystroke to replicate the use of many inputs.
If I got your meaning right, I hope this clears things up.

As stated here, you'll generally want to stay away from macros, and stick to the rebinds supported natively in the game.

Yes, scrolling every time I tap strafe is fatiguing for my index finger, so it’s easier to do a click than a quick scroll. 

The way I see it, one scroll is one keystroke, so one keystroke replacing one scroll doesn’t sound unfair. I could just as easily use the scroll wheel, but like I said it’s fatiguing after a while 

@EA_DavidThank you for the input! I am not sure how it works on PC, but I feel like I'm ok remapping my controller buttons on Elite controller, since it's an official Xbox product, and stays within the boundaries you just mentioned. I'm not duplicating an input. I'm just moving them around to a different layout.

Didn't even know you can do that through the in-game settings. Good to know!

@l776-Maverick  From what David stated, I definitely would not be doing what you are asking about, personally. The scroll wheel is a little different than pressing a button a single time, so switching a scroll (i.e. multiple inputs, repeatedly) to a single-input button, would not be OK, from what he said. Always better to be safe, than sorry!

I’m not going to do it now because he said it’s probably not ok, but I still don’t see in any way how it’s unfair, one scroll is one stroke, it doesn’t matter how many inputs it makes, that’s what the scroll wheel does, I could just as easily get a mouse that has buttons for scrolling instead of a wheel. Also most mice have options to disable the scroll wheel entirely and uses the side buttons for scrolling up and down pages. So again,  this doesn’t make any sense 

This makes more sense cause scripts like the one you mentioned takes away the skill of timing a super glide, remapping scroll doesn’t take away any skill, and scrolling doesn’t require anything but basic use of your prefrontal cortex and index finger 

@l776-Maverick In my mind the use you describe is borderline. I can see your point and David's as well. I'd be interested to see what Mokey and others might say if you posted this question to the ApexRollouts subreddit.  I think he'd agree that it is borderline and advise against it.
