Xim or similar adapter. (Asking the Devs)

Hello,  I am primarily a PC Player and pretty okay at the game. I have also started playing the game on console to get better at the controller version of the game, honestly it's not that great but ...

It’s very hard for them to detect on console because of the way the XIM works, it sits between the KB/Mouse and translates those commands into controller commands so the console thinks It’s a controller.  If the keyboard mouse was connected directly to the console it would be easily detectable but it’s not with a XIM.

Also I don’t think it’s as big of advantage on console as people think, from what I’ve read there can be significant input lag with these devices and there are plenty of controller users who are just as good as KBM users.

I recommend am elite controller and mapping certain buttons/actions to the paddles, which makes a big difference.

@GUZZ_ZYN Elite controller paddle mapping:
Jump
Crouch
Sprint (will seriously prolong controller joystick life)
Reload or Weapon Swap

    @Pallo420I have the elite controller, i prefer the dome thumb sticks. I have paddles on the controller too. But end of the day it's a controller and my aim is decent but i get confused when someone snipes me with an r99. I know it's not possible unless you are really good at recoil control also the tracking, it's near impossible to pull off with a controller (if it was higher ranks it's fine but lower rank players i have seen them move and they have no game sense whatsoever, it's when they lock on to one person they finish them off with ease)

      People worried about people using it on console. People are using XIM on PC with two KB and Mouses. They get almost 1:1 Ration using it as well as it enabling Aim Assist on PC while you are using KnB. This games dying. Take it from a player whos been playing since Launch. I haven't played in almost a Week. I am tired of running into hackers and campers. This game is becoming more and more unplayable. It will die in time just like TitanFall. Respawn doesn't give a * about what players think anway.

        @itsNologyTTV Using Xim on PC is something else, did not know this. I play on PC and come across cheaters once in a while but did not realize some of them use XIM on PC. Sad that these guys can't detect it. I would rather just game with the controller (non ranked) and just complete the battle pass set the game aside.
