Legality of Azeron peripherals at eSports events

[Slorndag]

Hello! I did try searching the forums before posting this, but apologies if it has already been covered.

I very much enjoy using my azeron devices, but I am also interested in playing at organized in-person eSports LAN events. I think it may be standard for tournament rules to include a ban on keyboards and mice that support macros.

I have two questions:
1. Does anyone know of any high-level eSports players successfully using Azeron peripherals?
2. If the answer is that the current suite of Azeron products are generally unapproved (due to macro capability perhaps?) would Azeron be interested to produce a "tournament series" of un-configurable versions of their devices for this purpose?

I am imagining, for example, a Cyborg that ships with a hard-coded mapping of the thumbstick to WASD and the buttons to the keys on the left half of the keyboard, with no ability to rebind anything through software. Such a device could likely pass an approval process and be used at events that currently might bar the standard Cyborg.

Thank you all for reading, particularly anyone at Azeron!

Macros are not supported on onboard profiles, so as long as you don't have software running in the background, you don't have access to macros.
Which tournament is Azeron banned on ? Each tournament will have own rules, so can't really generalize it

I haven't heard of any high level esports professional players using one

That is very good to know about onboard profiles! I will share that with tournament organizers I talk to.

I do not yet know definitively that azeron devices are banned anywhere, but in reading about the Overwatch Championship Series I gathered that devices capable of macros were not allowed.
