What you are basically implying is that Steelseries should make a keyboard which can't be used outside of wow, shipping with software that has limited functionality, and thus sell a keyboard that is subpar compared to the functionality competitors offer.

Or to use an absurd example: my local government provides cheap pruning shears (hand pruners in US I believe) for fuck knows what reason. The fact that you can cut off ones dick with it doesn't make it legal to do so.
No.. what I am saying is that keyboard is specifically licensed for use with WoW, promoted for use with WoW, Blizzard will even help sell it to you, and this is one of the features prominently advertised without even a hint that it could possibly get you in any trouble. In fact, by looking at the advertisement (e.g. the linked page), any normal person would be absolutely convinced that this feature is both designed for, and okay with, World of Warcraft. (I'd wager, in fact, that more people use those keyboards and those features than people around here realize...) The same goes for other games as well.

Your analogy is flawed because the pruning shears are not being sold with a label that says "chop off your dick with our dick chopper offer". It's sold as pruning shears. The keyboard is promoted as a tool specifically to gain advantages in the game, and that's exactly why Joe Shmoe would buy this keyboard.

They can not legally promote the use of this tool in the game while simultaneously banning you for using it as advertised, and they also have to its treat competitors fairly.

The feature set isn't available in ISBoxer (or planned) anyway.




I hadn't realized until that point that ISBoxer was sending exactly the same information and in exactly the same way and at exactly the same time as my keyboard if I were to have it send multiple keys in one step - for some reason I imagined it might be sending a stream of keystrokes, so it might have been as if someone were very quickly changing the modifier keys they were holding down while spamming [ or something like that. Possibly silly, but I try not to take things like that for granted. Better to ask and learn something than just assume and remain in ignorance, I say.
