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!

@dSKyNafinchin At issue are macros and on a related note, config files like one-press superglide. Remapping a key or button to another to is not an issue. What is not allowed are things that combine several actions into a single key press.
