Hello ea staff

I was just wondering would it be bannable if I hooked a brook wingman p5 controller adapter up into my ps5 to use my gamesir tarantula 8k controller on the ps5 (it’s only an adapter to use a non compatible controller on the console)

    The adapter doesn’t let you use all the extra macro buttons on the controller just the paddles

    LwkHurt​ Considering the controller has macro and button remapping capabilities, it would be considered a cheating device and as such can put your account at risk even if you aren't using those functions.

    I was thinking that but no the adapter actually has capabilities of 1000hz

  • LwkHurt​ I recommend using a controller by PlayStation for PlayStation, (especially when the adapter could get flagged as an unauthorized device).

  • Well 1st of all, the PlayStation 5 operating system restricts and hard-locks controller polling rates at the system level, so your controller is caped on 250hz of polling rate.  2nd, I don't think it is bannable, as long as you don't use rapid-fire turbo functions and macros.
