    Following an official announcement on the usage of Mouse Keys by Jagex, we are permanently rejecting all bots pushed to the store with this functionality.

    This functionality is now considered a security risk, and there are no exceptions to this rule.

    The only exception I would consider, with pre-approval, is if you did use the Keyboard API to trigger the users actual mouse key if they had them enabled in their OS.

    By the way, are their any Operating Systems that don't support mouse keys natively? Because since Jagex tracks your Operating System, if you were simulating mouse keys before on an OS without that functionality, you were basically flagging yourself.

    It wasn't common for bots to have it, the fisher was just an example of one which does.

    You'd have to ask @Savior where he used it. Not that it matters, it is being removed from the bot next push.

    The statement was released by the OSRS team, so I think this is for OSRS only. Although I still wouldn't risk it.

    Do you really think the OSRS team is going to start trying to detect AHK. I think Mod Ash wants it to be a thing, but I don't know about any one else.


    Also Where do we draw the line about following the rules on runescape, on a botting website :D kappa

    But I get where your coming from gotta keep the community safe if they are going to start detecting it .

    Mousekeys are way easier to detect than runemate

    The operating system's mousekeys programm is allowed. Now obviously runemate doesnt use that OS mousekey program, but rather simulates it, just like the AHK programm, which is banned now.
