    There are probably a lot of things which are technically against the rules.
    I agree, if you're at the keyboard and able to respond, you're probably going to be ok.

    Some of the things you can do with a G15 could potentially be an issue.
    My roommate uses it to press 1, wait 1.5 seconds, press 2, wait 1.5 seconds and press 3.
    Which is basically dots on a warlock and then wand attacks.

    I cannot see keymaps as being an issue.
    You are pressing a single key, which does not loop or repeat itself.
    Each of your clients is getting a single input from this key press.
    It doesn't make a difference if the keystroke is A or Shift A, either can be keybound within wow.
    One physical input, and one response (even if its across multiple clients).

    .
    This is a perfect example of how to get banned using macros on a G15. If he is pushing one button, and the keyboard pushes 3 buttons, that is the very definition of automation.

    The overall argument is semantics, whether or not its "key presses" (including modifiers) or "actions". I think multiple keys typed into the game are fine, as long as it follows the rules of the in game macro system
