Hi Sigi,
the only games I used while testing the Challenger Pro used VAC and PunkBlaster. I did not lay out any super elaborate macros, I set some up to auto buy weapons in CSS and some strings of actions in Dragon Age 2 as well as Fallout:NV.
I did not experience any macros being blocked and don’t believe any would be if they are set with keystrokes.
I hope I was helpful!
Hey GSG-9,
are you sure that “anti-cheat-software” like Gameguard or Hackshield can’t block macros send from the internal memory?
Hey Rinfinite, You are correct, all macro settings are stored on the internal memory. Meaning you can take your macros with you to any PC in any program.
Hey, I play a lot of online games that use GameGuard and Hackshield and was wondering if the macros from this keyboard would get blocked? I assume they won’t because the macros get saved on the internal memory so they get sent on a hardware level and not as virtual keystroke through the software, but I just wanna make sure.
We chose gold because of the key removal system, and the solid response of the keys.
I take it you’re a mechanical guy?
why did we give a gold to a membrane keyboard.
