The thing about it, though, is... The G15 is no less available to every player than a high-end PC and a fast, stable connection. Those things can also give distinct advanatages, and as far as I know, the G15 isn't against the ToS. Unattended gameplay is, so if you do, for example, use the G15 to "bot" summoning skill ups, that's not such a gray area.

But it gets more difficult to argue against the G15 when you consider that one player's connection will eat another's for breakfast, or a higher resolution meaning my chat log doesn't zip by as unreadably quickly as a PS2's.

When it comes to hardware, I think it makes the most sense to just stick to the ToS as much as possible for the debate. If the hardware doesn't break the ToS, or you don't use it in such a way that you're breaking the ToS, I think it's hard to denounce it very strongly.

And then, if extended macros via the G15 or another programmable keyboard are okay, why would software that mimics that functionality not be okay? That's much like the comparison of just-a-windower-windower to having a second PC to browse while playing.
