It's this aspect of such peripherals that's against the ToS.
They can do that, yes, I wouldn't say that you can easily access menus and menu selections, but yes that can be done. However, there is no automated/sensory. A macro doesn't know what's going on, so it can't keep you from hitting the wrong thing if you set it that way and can't detect a "good" or anything like that. You can already do what is basicly a quick synth with the in game macro system as is. There is just as much weight you could put behind aspects of gameplay on a controller vs a keyboard.
