Re: Is Mouse & Keys On Console Cheating?

@F1YBYN1GHT wrote:

What’s up Respawn

i would like to inquire about mouse and keyboard plug ins specifically on Xbox and Ps4. I play Xbox and I’m currently playing diamond ranked with the top pred teams in the game. I’ve found that some of the top players I encounter have snap like aim and much to my demise I’m playing with these teams every game. I believe that mouse and keyboard plug in on console is cheating to a severe degree considering the consistency to aim and aim assist that one gains from using said plug in. The fact of the matter is I can confirm that the top preds are using this advantage and hope that you look into this sooner than later. Please get back to me with an official stance on this situation because your announcement on dashers came far to late, and this situation is much more serious as it heavily interferes with the gameplay experience for those playing fair and using controllers.

Shouldn't be, as the device is made specific to those with special needs.  But you'd probably have to read through the million page terms of service to get an answer, since they only pick and choose topics to respond to.

    If you feel like you are at a disadvantage, then why don't you go use a mouse and keyboard yourself to even out the playing field? Seems like the easiest solution to me. complaining that people are using mouse and keyboard seems to be the same to me as complaining that people are using Scuff controllers or back paddle attachments. It just seems to be moot to me.

    @Condor442Respawn has stated clearly in a check-in post last July that they didn’t condone mouse and keyboard use on consoles. And they were investigating ways to detect if players were doing it.

    You can read the full post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/cffkqb/719_respawn_checkin/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

    They also said that they would revisit it. I’m still waiting for the implementation of the detection mechanism.

    @DeathRaven_1983 but the fact is that there are people doing it, regardless of if Respawn condones it. So if you truly feel like you're at a disadvantage, then even out the playing field...or just learn to play better?

    You don’t get it. It is people that plug in mouse and keyboard, game recognizes a controller and gives aim assist WITH a mouse. That is cheating, period.

    People should not have to go out and buy additional hardware in the console realm, that is why they bought a console.

    Pretty easy to spot they are the guys getting 20 kills per game.
