illegal.
Look at the sticky at third-party software. That applies here.

Rule of thumb is (as stated officially): one key equals one action.
Anything else you do is on your own risk.

using high-end keyboards and mouse won’t ban you. that was posted by gaile long long time ago.

binding controls to a single key is permitted as long as it doesn’t allow you to manipulate or control your character when you are afk.

Also, there is an official GW2 mouse that can do macros I think, I can vaguely remember looking at it when GW2 went live.

The OP asked about macros. You can use the equipment but you cannot use macros.

Take a look at this post on Third-Party Programs to get some info. The main thing is to not load up a macro that plays the game for you, or that combines so many skills that you have an advantage over other players.

Oke I said macro lets read this
• “Does this program allow someone to play faster, better, longer, or more accurately than someone who doesn’t use it?”
• “Does this program allow someone to ‘play’ when he/she is not at the computer?”
• “Does this program allow the user to gain undeserved rewards?”

So I am only using at one button to open 2 skills thats all. and thats why I said macro
It doesnt give me undeserved rewards. With that My character doesnt play when I am afk. I cant play faster better and longer. and I believe many players use these 1 button to open 2 skill macros. GW2 Already 10 + profession skills game not like 30 skill other mmo games so I believe it doesnt give unfair advantage to other players.

I know that macro = with 1 button you can open 2 or 3 skill same time. but third party programs give you other things speed teleport …… please think about it again. If it will illegal or require ban I wont use gamer mouse and computer special macro buttons.

@Ardyl: I quote myself:

Rule of thumb is (as stated officially): one key equals one action.
Anything else you do is on your own risk.

I think that if you stick to this rule, you won’t run any risks.

I think you misunderstood that question. Binding several actions/skills to one button allows you to play faster (you have less buttons to press than other players) and can more accurately execute your skill chains. That gives you an advantage over players that dont use those.

Logic would suggest there would be no problems using the mouse and keyboard, so as long as you’re not using them to conduct illegal activities. Let’s say I use the Logitech g13 keypad to do things that a regular keyboard does. Well then it’s really no different to using a regular keyboard.
