Semi Legal Tradeskill Macros

I would be interested in hearing how others are semi legal tradeskill macroing?

I use the Saitek Gamers keyboard pad and created a macro that calls buffs linked to the hotbar. Saitek's macro program does not allow you to repeat a macro but you can stack buffs and mouse clicks.

I run this on a separate computer at work with the keypad next to my main computer. I taped a pencil on top of the macro key and when I hear that the build is finished I reach over and use my wrist to hit the pencil>macro key>mouse click repeat>spam buffs. My main buff increases durablity and I get pristine 90% of the time.

I wish their was a unique sound when a build is finished so that i would know when to hit the pencil.

ps I joined Taunt before I found Xunleashed, wish I had bought premium membership here.

See the description of the tradeskill macro in the downloads. It is pretty nice.
(I'm biased of course since I made it, hehe)

I use a Nostromo Game pad, which allows marcos to repeat until you kill them- I too pretty much spam durability- its MUCH slower, but it guarentees refreshing (provisioner- too dangerous to try with any other tradeskill) every time. I've worked out the best rotation that keeps buffs up, and, if Im drinking player made drink, I stay at full power the whole time. Any other tradeskill, you have to use a smarter macro that recognizes events and counters them, otherwise you'll get dead quick.

I was thinking of going with the new wireless Nostromo Game Pad in a few months. After the bot witch hunt brewing with the introduction of Station Exchange calms down.
