I don't believe that caps lock is the same as holding shift. It produces capital letters, but it doesn't produce the same effect as having a mod key. Anyway, shift or caps lock by themselves don't actually send any output to the game server.
As I said myself in the original post, I was just being silly about CAPS LOCK and use of anything in a standard keyboard. On the other hand simply programming an N52 or an X-Keys to send "SHIFT-A" on a keypress is another matter entirely and could, if Blizzard decided, become a violation of the rules under the "one keypress, one action" rule.
If it takes you 12 key presses to get 1 action...you really aren't hurting anyone but yourself.
The point made by the original poster, and myself, is that we're not pressing two buttons we are in fact pressing one button to get the effect of pressing two or more. It's still only one in-game "key" but the "key" is different within each session by virtue of the modifers we are sending with it in a leaderless setup. Pressing one button to get the result of two (modifier+key) can just as easily be achieved using the programmable buttons in your mouse software.


It's important to remember that it's their game, their rules and they can ban us for any reason they choose. They know about keyclone, they know what it can do and they choose not to warn/ban us for using it. This could always change.
