macro Why are normal macros banned but the ones that you can program on the mouse aren't in CSGO?

Why are mouse macros allowed in competitive games such as CSGO? It gives people an unfair advantage over the others. For example, one of my friends uses a macro for smokes. Don't you think in should be banned/ not allowed?

Nope. Just learn how they work and how to implement them and get better.

because if your mouse requires a software to run, then it can be said that its just part of your mouse because it really is just a part of your mouse, personally i have a bhop macro that i use in comp, im learning scroll wheel but till i totally get it down im using the training wheels

What says they're not? As far as I know most esports leagues ban macros of any kind, and if not they absolutely should.

 

If you're asking why doesn't the game itself detect and ban you then it's just probably because it not capable of detecting it.
