Will i get banned for using a macro to rebind a button?
i want to rebind my MB5 to scroll wheel down, to use for wall bouncing. I was also wondering If I used a macro that recorded the string of keys (WASD) would get me banned.

@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
