(Blue?) Logitech G15 keyboard-Legal or not?

#0 - Sept. 27, 2006, 12:55 p.m.

Perhaps someone in customer service can answer this question for me.....

I was considering buying a Logitech G15 keyboard, but have heard of people being banned for using the macro capabilities.

Where is the line drawn? Is macro use with the keyboard legal as long as you're not running the game "unattended"? Or are certain macro combinations considered against the ToS and bannable?

Im in *NO* way looking to cheat - lets get that out in the open first. A buddy of mine has the keyboard, and really likes it (coincidentally, also a WoW player), but i wanted to check to see what the rules are surrounding this product? The company advertises it as being great for WoW, etc... perhaps they havent done their homework on what Blizzard does and does not permit?

Any information would be more than welcome! If its in violation in any way, i simply wont purchase the product.

Thanks!

Hi Raivin,

This has been addressed before. The keyboard itself is completely okay for use with World of Warcraft. However due to the powerful nature of some of its capabilities, this keyboard is able to be used in such ways that they could violate our policies. Specifically the allowance of the use of this keyboard does automatically not condone the use of its macro functions in such ways that they would violate our policies. This can be thought of in much the same way as the allowance of the use of a standard keyboard does not condone harassing language being typed on it.

I hope this helps.
