@Pallo420Any source for your statement that only 0.00001% of all FPS gamers using mouse and keyboard adapters?

I’ve said it in my last post. No matter how experienced some controller players maybe, they are still at a disadvantage compared to mouse and keyboard players.

Let me give you a simple example, A clean sprinter might win a race against one using dope, but it doesn’t mean he isn’t at a disadvantage. That’s why doping is forbidden in sports.

@DeathRaven_1983The XIM forum has 122249 members. Let's assume not everyone is a member and call the number 200,000 total XIMs across ALL games including Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4. Google search says there are 638,000,000 console gamers worldwide. So that equates to: 0.000313% by rough guess. So my exaggeration was almost correct lol.
Or even say 150,000,000 console gamers that play ALL FPS games then: 0.001%.
Now how many are actually in Apex Legends? That would be tough to calculate and would likely be a lower percentage than my overall numbers.
Baddies like to blame their death on M&KB, I hear it all the time. In reality the odds of dying to one are extremely low.

"Let me give you a simple example, A clean sprinter might win a race against one using dope, but it doesn’t mean he isn’t at a disadvantage. That’s why doping is forbidden in sports."

I would call the XIM better running shoes in your example.  Better quality running shoes are not against the rules.  I would equate doping to using aim bots / wall hacks on PC.

    @Pallo420 I don’t know about your example, there is a case against some running shoes that were really good.

    @Pallo420 It’s your pure guess then. I would not accept a guess as an argument.

    Like what I said, the advantages of mouse and keyboard over controllers are unfairly huge.

    That’s why Respawn, as well as developers of other competitive First-Person Shooters. doesn’t condone its use.

    @Pallo420 Also, there definitely is an advantage to using m and k, they don’t have aim assist, but controller players do. Why is that? Because m and k has an advantage.
