@l776-Maverick your og question was about using a macro, not a rebind of a single button.
I asked a question about both but you chose to selectively read, maybe go back and read it

@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.
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
- @l776-Maverick It’s not allowed in the ALGS so most likely it’s bannable. All of the replies are general advices based from general knowledge or experience. Bans are still case to case basis by Hideout’s team but since you made an effort of asking, then deep down you know it’s not 100% legal.
Add more details to your original post next time so people can help you easier. 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.
