Sorry for lack of clarity, I meant the player riposting against an npc - it is about 1/20 chance, which isn't bad - especially as an npc is likely do multiple swings per round.
What I'm trying to say is the player riposting with a 2 hander isn't insignificant damage, and I wonder how much more damage off-hand swapping + bare fist riposte does vs riposting with a 2 hander (cos off hand swapping would likely produce mainly fist ripostes).

Oh I see. Riposte damage probably isn't very high. My calculator doesn't do player ripostes, only NPC ripostes. However, we can do a quick thought experiment:
Let's say our player is using a 46/44 weapon. That means their Weapon Damage * 2 + Damage Bonus = 129 damage at level 60.
Mobs generally hit every 2 seconds unslowed, so you'll get swung at 30 times per minute. 5% of 30 is 1.5. When factoring in the chance to miss the riposte, we can say you'll get 1 riposte hit per minute with a 5% chance to riposte.
This means on average you are probably getting something like 2-4 DPS from Riposte from your ToV 2H weapon. In theory the offhand swapping would still do more damage if you lose this Riposte DPS, assuming you didn't miss a significant amount of your 2h swings while swapping back and forth.

You're the one who can't comprehend the rules. It says you're not allowed to use programs that alter the EQ client and you're not allowed to use programs that create multiple inputs with a single keystroke. There are no "multiple inputs" happening by having a more precise mouse. Just as there are not multiple inputs happening by having a gaming mouse with extra keys, which allows you to click more buttons than you otherwise would be able to. Something tons of people use. It's allowed, as is having an eye-tracker instead of a hand mouse.

It is is you who didn't read the rules correctly. "Not limited to" means other kinds of hardware that does special stuff is prohibited, not just programmable mice and keyboards that do multiple inputs. That was just the hardware example they gave. Same with the software. You say "not limited to" so you don't have to list every possible hardware/software that is prohibited.
They explicitly state what the only exceptions are. You are allowed a standard keyboard/mouse, wineq2, and log reading programs.
Anything else is risking a ban. Nobody here is going to risk a ban for a few DPS. You are the only poster I know who is trying to interpret these rules differently.
