That'll get you banned

If you get caught, yes they will. It violates their terms of use and others have been banned in the past for using hardware that bypasses the limitations of the game. One click must perform only one action!

But I want an advantage!

Mice and keyboards that perform 1 action are considered legal by blizzard's terms of use. What this means is simple, you can have a mouse or keyboard with 100 keybinds and as long as their using valid, non-timed blizzard macros you can mash them to your hearts extent.

These aren't the droids your looking for

Most of WoW is a testimony to your ability to play your character. Mastering a class and understanding every circumstance and nuance of every class and reacting accordingly is how you'll achieve mastery over the game. Just as the legal /castsequence macros are legal, you will always be better off handling your class like a champ. The game (especially in pvp!) quickly loses its black and white feel to dps/healing rotations and you're frequently required to make judgement calls. When do you pop your cooldowns? What happens if a proc occurs or a cooldown refreshes? When do you line of sight? As a gladiator my suggestion is always try and improve, your ability to react to every situation is simply non-programmable. Even a bad player with intuition will trump a timed macro (even if it wouldn't get you instantly banned)

Cause sources are awesome

This guy got banned for using a programmable keyboard and with the current threat to blizzard (bots) they have begun to have very low tolerance.

Newest Edit: 1 click must perform 1 action, macros that use timings are illegal and will get you quickly flagged. Hope this helps

Older less relevant edit: I've done a little more research and determined that some people have been using programmable hardware, while blizzard hasn't made an official statement on them it is clear that anything that can use spells while unattended qualifies as a bot. Bots will get you a prompt kick. Can you get away with it?

Maybe, but whether or not its worth it is up to you. As a gladiator I've found that complicated cast sequence macros and things of that nature are too black and white to be competitive at the higher levels. In my opinion your better off improving your keybinds, muscle memory, and knowledge of your class to use the correct spell at the correct time.
