Will mis-click on mouse dpi switch button result in banning of account?

I have a 2000 hours overwatch account recently got banned because blizzard believes I have used cheating programs. But the fact is I have never ever used any cheating programs. I don’t want to lose my 2000 hour account.

After this ban occurred, I thought so hard what I did to make them think I cheated. The only thing I can think of which may be detected as cheating is that my mouse (logitech G502) comes with a dpi switch function. I mis-clicked on that button for a few times during this 2000 hours play. Since this happens so rare, I didn’t bother to unbind that button. But I have never clicked on that button intentionally to gain any advantage. In fact, every time I mis-clicked on that button, I only play worse due to sudden change in dpi. So objectively, I didn’t gain any advantage neither.

I really want to know whether dpi switch will result in account closure or not. If this is truly the reason, though I would still feel it is unfair to me, I take it. I will treat this as a huge lesson.

Update: The ban got overturned. So dpi switch won’t get you banned at least if you dont do that intentionally.

The system can even ban you if it detects macro programs you might have left running from other video games but don’t have any assigned macros for overwatch or even it being used for overwatch in any way.

No you defenetly don’t get banned for something like that. What did you download lately? Sometimes there are hidden things in there that can get you banned in other games like ow when they are running in the back.

It probably detected something else, I click my DPI button a bunch of times and nothing happened to me yet.

I checked my recent downloaded software list and didn’t see anything suspicious.
In fact recently, I seldom play games other than ow on my pc.
