Push To Talk Using Logitech G510 Keyboard and/or Logitech G700s Mouse

I've seen a few posts about using G keys and how ESO may/does see those keys with macros as botting. When I use Mumble or TeamSpeak I push to talk so everyone doesn't hear my life on this side of the monitor. I have a G key set up for that. I am wondering if I use the ptt button playing ESO will they see this as a bot attempt? Would it be better to set the ptt key up on my mouse? Thanks!

darkkterror_ESO✭✭✭I highly, highly doubt that simply using the G keys on your keyboard is going to trigger some kind of macro detection (assuming they even have some kind of macro detection in place). When a company says they ban the use of macros they usually mean a macro that, with a single key press, triggers multiple button presses, possibly with delays in the macro to automate actions in game.
If all your G key is doing is acting as the PTT key for teamspeak/mumble, I don't see any problem.1 -
Seravi✭✭✭✭✭Yeah that is all it is doing. I set it in Mumble as my ptt key and of course press when I need to say something. Now my setup is a bit different because of other keys I use. My ptt key is actually pressing three keys: right ctrl, right shift and right alt with a 25 millisecond delay so that is why I am a bit concerned.0

✭✭✭I wouldn't be able to live without my g700 mmo gaming mouse. Makes the game much more fluent. It would be a bit ridiculous to consider that cheating....0 -

✭I use the G keys all the time, it's not botting at all and is not recognised as such.
I have a G13 game pad, a G510 keyboard and also a Razer Naga 12 button mouse.
All G keys and all mouse buttons are assigned to various things, I never use the actual keyboard unless I'm typing something in chat.
My G510, I press one key, it changes to Guild chat and says "hey", another key salutes, another key changes to Group chat etc, hardly giving me any advantage.
The mouse buttons, 1 - 6 are mapped to my skills, 7 to jump, 8 to map, 11 to "h" etc
The G13 I use instead of the keyboard as I have locking finger probs and this helps a lot, I have it set as follows (I also have the joystick set to w,a,s,d which isn't shown)
Even if this was a completely different situation, it still wouldn't matter for what your doing as you are using a key to operate a completely separate piece of software.

✭hehe on a separate note, was playing with setting up various G510 keys to say certain messages to guild, I tested them putting about 8 messages in a row, was thrown straight out of the game with a message saying I had been thrown out for chat spamming.

Gota be careful there, because they are starting to do stuff against spammers. Not a single spammer this morning.hehe on a separate note, was playing with setting up various G510 keys to say certain messages to guild, I tested them putting about 8 messages in a row, was thrown straight out of the game with a message saying I had been thrown out for chat spamming.

Seravi✭✭✭✭✭I wish they would do something about the boss bots. That needs to stop ASAP. Yeah chat spam seems to be better. I would rather have chat spam vs bots all over the bosses in the dungeons.0

✭✭✭I think bots are next on their radar. It is getting to a critical point now. I hve seen some dungeons where you MUST kill the boss to obtain quests where there are 20+ bots crowded around the boss -_-0 -
Schmackei✭✭I have to add, and I am certain that I am not the only person that has this issue.
You mention maybe making your PTT button one of your mouse buttons, I have a Logitech MX518 mouse, but the problem also persists on the Razor Naga and the Sidewider X8 mice that I have tried from home too.
With setting my PTT for any Voip (vent, mumble, raidcall, teamspeak) as one of my thumb buttons, I am unable to action things like lockpicking and channeled attacks. However, this is not at fault with anything to do with ESO, as I have this same issue with GW2, WoW, PS2 and Aion. I am certain it is the limitation of multi commands through some mice on a Windows 7 64bit system.0 -

Yep, I've decided not to use them for guild chat messages, I've just set them up to change from group, guild1 and say instead0 -

Ah good to know. Thanks for the information!
