Logitech G15 keyboard allowed with SC2?

I know Blizzard has thrown a real **** fit about people using the G15 gaming keyboard when playing World of Warcraft. I think because it's programmable with delays, so one key press could make your character do several different things in order.

What about SC2? I wonder if Blizzard would have a problem there, because the use of the keyboard is far less.

If I were playing WoW, how could Blizzard even tell if I were using a programmable keyboard in the first place? It would save me a lot of mouse clicking!

 

I don't think Blizzard has any right to determine any of the components of your hardware but I think they are allowed to make their products incompatible with whatever they want.

I second them in strongly being against macros. It's lame. Get some skills, please.

 

Macros simply eliminate dumb steps, or condense similar skills or ones you don't use often onto one button. People that refuse to use macros are refusing to be more proficient. As far as it simply making the game easier, as long as it isn't playing it for you, like actually making decisions based on the current circumstances, I don't see a problem.

 

Macros don't replace skill. If you're out grinding levels with your Dwarf Hunter or something, why should you have to click on 4-5 different shots for each enemy you kill OVER and OVER and OVER for 80 levels?

Simply make a macro, target, and press a key. Same end result, and you don't wear out your mouse or mouse left click finger as fast.

 

I hope you're not comparing SC2 Macro with World of Warcraft mob-grinding.

 

I bought the G110,thought the G15 was ugly, do not want that...
my keyboard detects games already installed, such as Warcraft3 and oh boy there is a GIANT list of macros.
Just waiting for sc2 to come out so hopefully that will happen as well otherwise I have to program them all on my own

 

World of Warcraft has built in support for macros anyway, I don't see how the G15's macros are superior

 

Only some macros. You can't turn your WoW toon into a mining or grinding bot with the macros.

 

In chess, they have a kind of competition called Advanced Chess or cyborg chess where both players are computer-assisted - they can use computers to search for moves, look up game histories, compute statistics, highlight dangers, etc. I think it would actually be really cool to have a "cyborg league" for Starcraft II where players can use whatever the hell computer assistance they can cook up. If you can write an AI that you can assign to macro up or conduct skirmishes while you're off microing the main battle, I think that could make for some seriously epic replays.

 

You mean have a league or ladder for hackers and cheaters?

 

didn't they do that for diablo II? some people who were accused of hacking/duping weren't banned, but they couldn't play games on b.net with the regular public, only other cheaters.

 

I've tried using the G15 on the SC2 beta for simple commands as: B > E
So it would select the pylon build option with a single stroke on the G1 - key. But thus far SC2 is ignoring all G-key combinations... Even if you assign just a single key stroke (such as "b" for building) to a G-key. Nothin. Maybe support comes with the retail. However I still dont really miss it. But I might find it usefull to have buildings under a single key.
