Yes, officially Disney only considers macros on the software end. Disney may not call foul at this moment because of their limited policy but they do have the right to change it.
TY for distilling this down to its original essence. The mouse driver is a piece of "software" that is integral to the function of the mouse. It is not separate from the mouse but integral to its use. Not every brand and version of mouse has the same driver, some function differently then others. Disney correctly identifies this distinction from a "macro" which is a piece of programing not integral to the mouse function. The "software" I'm discussing is build into the mouse driver and can only be toggled on and off. Thus the wording by the technical staff:

CRYSTAL:That should be fine. There is no reason you would get into trouble for that.
Me:ty so much for your assistance
Me:
CRYSTAL:It sounds like it is working as intended.


As to the future interpretation of the rules one can speculate wildly but thankfully we only need worry about today's rules today.
