Gaming mouse with macros allowed?

[Anal Bleeding]

A crappy mouse has only 2 buttons.
Gaming mouses have macros with 7 buttons.

I don't really see what macros are going to do for you in this game. Chat spamming is the only practical application I can see here for a macro.

Oh god yes why didnt I think of this

I used it for autoconnect to dtv-servers, voice commands etc.

Even created macro for feints

So say you're macro feinting, what happens if someone attacks whilst it's going on? You can't block. I've heard some stories about uber macro feints, but what that video shows would just be a downgrade from regular feinting.

[Segd]

yep, this is why manual skill rulezz

[Anal Bleeding]

just macro blocks in each direction, then you don't have to change mouse direction to block.
feints would be hard to use macros for i would think

This is helpful how? Maybe it might be kinda good if you had a mouse that had 4 button right in the middle of it and they were placed so that they're easily accessible and in an order that makes sense (button that's in the centre middle is up block, left button for left block etc)... but I haven't seen any mouse like that. And it'd have to be a big and unwieldy mouse.

How would you want to prevent this? There are also keyboards with a lot of macro keys. I'm searching for one too, as I would like to program some of the commands (whistle, cav from right...) for easier access. Though I wouldn't use it for blocking/feinting and such. Also I could need it, because I suck big times

A strategic commander might be good - never bothered to try and probably have no drivers for it.

Dear kind Sir,
most recently I found two new ways of working with my mouse. Now I can sidescroll on google maps by pushing my mouse wheel left and right. What a jolly good' laugh I had!

[Digglez]

Seeing as how there is no way to police it, its certainly allowed

[BlameMeForTheNoise]

I guess it would help against some new players who have no clue of blocking anyway. Against everyone with just a little bit of skill and/or experience this would be a really good laugh.
