    Question about logitech software

    Hello, i wish to know if it is ok to use the logitech software to set to the mouse buttons some functions.

    For example i am thinking to make a function that keep the "ctrl" down.

    Just wish to use it cause my finger hurts a lot when i do have to keep it down for long time.

    Questions like these are ticky. Usually any automation, broadly worded, is against the ToS and so technically yes, you could probably be banned if a GM had a chip on their shoulder.

    However... plenty of people do stuff like this (or even more, such as automating talking to raubahn) and aren't getting banned. I really doubt SE is checking and unless you try to do something blindingly obvious (like botting fates or gathering or such), I really don't think they care.

    Technically ReShade, Parsers, and so on are also against the ToS, but as long as you play nice SE doesn't care.

    In 2.0 a bunch of people were punished and no one could quite figure why. But one of the theories is they were basically botting crafts using the macro system that logitech provides. But basically SE has no tracking software so keep mouth shut and don't abuse market boards and probably be under the radar.

    So i should be safe if i just use a macro that only keeps down CTRL in toggle off/on?

    Isnt any way to ask this in a formal way?

    Yes. FWIW I use toggles as hand savers too.

    The formal answer is not allowed. You can see more info about their stance in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-WX...youtu.be&t=370 It's more in reference to parsers but he covered third party programs generally. Logitech Gaming Software is a third party program...
