Guild Wars 2

So was wondering if it was ok to use mousekeys? Mousekeys is an ease of use application in windows. It allows you to use your keyboard to left click. Reason im asking is for opening bags or similar to save my mouse from being broken.

It doesn’t allow me to open or click any faster, and it’s still 1 click per action, so figure it should be ok. But wanted to check first.

Thanks!

Programs are irrelevant, the scripts are what it’s all about

so you press a key once, and your mouse clicks once? that’s fine.

There’s an option to turn on double click with 1 keyboard press, but as long as I use it as single click from keyboard is single click on mouse, then should be ok?

single press = single click, is one action per action.
Yes

So you are not allowed to use it.
Of course you can say that you will not activate that option, but the gm’s can’t see what you are doing. Also what it does is that you will have 2 buttons for the same action.
If you want to use the keyboard, you can change the bindings ingame. And assign the keyboard key to the action you want.

Maybe we need some official explanation about what is allowed and what not.

Ignore the above post:

Yes it is ok to do this, as long as you indeed keep the one click/one action rule. A button pressed on the keyboard or on the mouse should result in one action and not more.

To the poster above. Support can tell if there is a difference. The game logs your actions and input. This is used to see what you are doing. So that is why the rule is one mouseclick/key stroke results in one action. If support sees one mouseclick results in 100 actions they know you are going against the rules.

I’m not so sure about that. Because what he now can do is use 2 hands and click very fast on the keyboard and on the mouse button at the same time (or almost) Since both can be used.
And with programs like that or autoclicker, it simulates a mouse click. So the game will just see 100 clicks at a 1ms (or less) interval.

Still the rule is one mouceclick/key stroke = on action, as long as thats what you doing, its just keybinding. It is actually 100% allowed to bind all your keys on the keyboard to a single action and just smash your head on it multiple times.

I’m not saying it is not allowed to bind keys to the keyboard. What i think can be banned is assigning a key to the mouse AND to a key on the keyboard.
But again, we are not staff. But i prefer to say no than telling yes use whatever you want and then being suspended for 72 hours or more. Better keep it save if you want to keep your account.

Then I have been breaking the rules all the time. I have a very common gaming mouse called the razor naga. This mouse has the keys 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 (some even more) under the thumb, I use them all the time when playing as well as the keys on my keyboard. I only had to plug the mouse in.

Ow and did you know your keyboard has two sets of numbered keys (well most keyboards)??

So binding 1 key to 5 other keys and then press all 5 at the same time is allowed ?

Yes that is totally allowed, unless off course the action is on a cooldown (wich almost all actions are) then you can press as many keys as you want but you still have to wait for cooldown.
