Hello. I've recently brought the sidewinder X6 keyboard (I'll be damned if I let alienware's scheme get to me). I couldn't help but notice the array of macro keys it incorporates. Now I know CCP's clearly against using macro miners. However, I was wondering if I can use the macro keys for simple combat commands. For example, hitting one macro key instead of up to eight keys to fire all my turrets. I tried to search for it, but eve forum doesn't exactly have the best search function, so it didn't turn up anything. Thank you for your help!

Its against the EULA to even use that keyboard. Running eve with that as your current keyboard driver will be flagged to the eve server and your account will be pending a ban.
I suggest you go stay at your Aunts for a while and borrow a blonde wig and get your legs shaved.

Wait a minute, the alienware tactx keyboard has six macro keys. What's the point of adding the alienfx feature if the keyboard is banned in the first place???

Well upto you mate you been warned, do you really want to use the same tools 100s of macros have been banned for ?
What you can do if you really want to use is it set up about 7 proxys.

It says it all right here in the blog
"(3) You may not use macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate..."
Using the keyboard macros is infact a stored rapid keystroke. As stated by the blog. Its good fortune that you asked and that razor was able to save you from a misfortunate and accidental banning.

... I'm really not sure how much Razzor is just trolling you, here. Arguably you completely deserve it because why the hell is this thread in Crime and Punishment?
Anyway, have you heard of grouping weapons?
And posting in the right forum?

okay, so I won't use the macro keys, but can I still use the keyboard? The anti-ghosting feature's pretty useful when I press more than three buttons at once.

Only if you can mask you driver so CCP don't see you are using that keyboard. Driver masking is pretty hard tho and can lead to unexpected problems.

Hook, line, and sinker. Razzor is on a roll this week.
OP, look up threads relating to the G15 keyboards for clearer answers.
Also, when is CCP going to support the G15 LED screen like they did with AlienFX? Why am I askin' C&P, I don't know.

That was an example. and the top two forum results that turns up when I search for "macro" are posted in crime and punishment, so I thought this is appropriate

Its your account but I wouldn't risk it. I had a friend that got a warning for using macros with some microsoft keyboard that he didn't even have.

I once got mad and punched my keyboard. In doing so, I hit 8 or 9 keys at the same time which got me a warning as well. So if you have rage, take it out on your monitor, not your keyboard.

Edited by: Whitehound on 01/09/2010 08:55:32 The EULA says:
"You may not use macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play. You may not rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in any way to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or achieved in the Game."
Using a macro while shooting at a ship is equal to an acquisition (of a wreck) at an accelerated rate. Use a petition and ask if you have doubts about the use of macros.
I suggest you use the grouping of weapons, which allows you to fire weapons simultaneously, and is a built-in game feature.
@Hiser: seriously?? *lol* --

Macro-Keys are allowed, as long as you use the default drivers.
What is forbidden are Macro-Programs.

As the dev and GM responses in the threads Julienne Poirier linked indicate, using the programmable keys on your keyboard is perfectly fine. If you're unsure, file a petition. You can't count on our resident forum cave denizens for a proper answer. - Paknac Queltel

Originally by: "GM Faolchu - Gamemaster" Hello everyone,
Although Gamemasters don't usually post on the forums, I felt it necessary to post here and prevent any misunderstandings. We allow the use of a G15 or similar keyboard operated macro, you press a key and all your guns activate at the intervals you set. That usage is fine, macro clients that allow the user to operate a client without being at the keyboard is not (ie a macro that does everything for you, without you doing anything regardless of where you are).
Hopefully that is end of the discussion of whether G15s are allowed or not, they are allowed.

I was once banned for using my cat and a large weighted rig and a series of levers and cogs to complete by PI cycles without actually being at the computer.
So my advice..Dont teach your cat to file petitions. |

The growth at the end of my keyboard can do that.

Ive used the auto hotkey program to switch crystals on my amarr char amoung other things,It works really good it requires a tad bit of programing to get it perfect.You dont need a special key board for it.

I was playing eve until my friends came to visit me. I just alt-tabbed and I started making coffee. After we were done with the coffee we started playing triplane turmoil, all 4 of us on the same keyboard. At worst we were hitting about 12-16 keys (4x throttle, fire, bomb and up or down button). After my friends left and I alt-tabbed back to eve, but to my dismay, I was already banned for macroism. I still have nightmares of that horrid day.
