    Technically, if you do not enable any of the macros, it is fine to use a SP.  The hard part will be fighting the temptation to enables said macros.  Even good people get tempted to do what they shouldn't when they're losing and the "fix" is right there infront of them.

    I would 100% recommend using the Sony back buttons instead.  They're better quality and avoid the above issue.  There are also kits for adding back buttons that take only basic technical know how to install.  If you can afford it, just get a good custom controller.  I've used AIM and Scuf and I like them both a lot.

@pandareno1999 It’s still a 3rd party device that will be detected sometimes, as far as I’m concerned it’s not worth the risk.

    @BigMacAttack8u The detection systems should be a bit smarter than just seeing the buttons. They should be checking for ridiculous fire rates and recoil not happening if tho the user isn't moving the stick.

      @hayhor It is purely detecting an external device, wether it’s a keyboard or a strike pack, it is only an external device. The crazy recoil is a group of people that monitor that stuff.
