Joy2Key Autofire ToS

Archived Post

Joy 2 Key is a 3rd party program that allows you to bind keyboard input to other input devices, like a logitech gamepad for example. It also allows you to set particular keys to have an auto repeat (auto fire) function. I am talking about applying this to hotkeys that trigger combo powers as I am tired of mashing the keys repeatedly. Is it against the terms of service to use such a program and avoid things like, carpal tunnel?




Thanks,

I was wondering this myself. Joy2Key have made hold powers trivial as it can spam the Z key so fast that it seems you only lose a few seconds instead of several. I have an XBOX360 wireless controller to control the game when I am sitting on the couch and a Wired Saitek Gamepad remapped with Joy2Key to emulate Keyboard and Mouse when I am sitting in front of the monitor. If I plan on going into PvP, I use the Joy2Key setup for the above reasons. Only thing is, if they disallow controller emulators like Joy2Key, they may as well disallow programmable keyboards like the G15 and G19 as you can program any button to do macros and autofire.
