mouse and keyboard is not hacking or cheating. it's a different input method.
If the player in the video is what you are scared of you are a bad player. There is nothing in that video that I have not done to people multiple times and I use an elite controller. Not to mention the only reason to use xim is to use the highest sensitivity setting and the guy you showed was not even useing max sensitivity. Xim is not a good way to use mnk it is not smooth like mnk is on pc for me it just feels off which is why I use an elite controller in my eyes that is way more of an advantage than xim but that is just coming from someone that has used and owns both well use to own xim it went in the trash

@full951 fortnite has controller only lobbies and MICROSOFT recently helped fortnite to BLOCK third party kbm usage
@neillkorey I'm sorry I just posted a video in which a xim was being used. But here you go...someone who actually took the time to proper time and calibrate their xim
How you DONT view a xim as cheating is beyond me. ESPECIALLY in an fps. There is NO denying the FACT that kbm has better and more precise aim capability when compared to controller. Mouse allows for 180 turns almost instantly with a large swipe. Controller is bound by sensitivity and joystick rom restrictions. Mouse is also way more precise. Need an easy comparison...try surfing the web on your Xbox...now go surf the web on you desktop. I promise you it will take twice as long on the Xbox even if you exclude page load times and only time link navigation.
If you think this is possible with a controller your a *. Yet this is possible with a xim
The only reason people most people give up on kbm is due to left hand retardation...I suffer from this as well. I'm a decent controller player with pretty good aim yet my aim with a mouse is easily 3x as good. Yet my left hand is * and I press all sorts of weird * with it. Now for a less complicated game like apex...I could probably over come this due to half the keybinds as fortnite and a really need to only w key jump slide strafe.

you really need to read the actual article instead of just going off click bait titles. not only is the title to the article not true that concept is not even supported within the article.
the "help" that Microsoft is giving is a supposed api that can detect a 3rd party device. we'll all just have to belive them on this one, because if you do believe that, then clearly all the dev has to do, is use it. then ban or separate lobbies.
are they doing that or not?
it's obvious even if the devs have the capability to ban and or separate players, they are not doing it. and neither is any other developer on the planet for any game. because every single one of them does not consider it cheating nor do they consider it their ecosystem to police. all the devs know the console manufacturers see it as a legitimate controller and no reason to disagree now that it is available for all.
it even clearly says in the article Microsoft is pushing for MnK support a fact many seem to ignore on purpose.

@full951 I've read the article and it seems your having trouble comprehending what your reading.
Nobody is arguing whether or not kbm should be allowed on console or not. The argument is about third party kbm and adapters that trick the console into thinking you are using a controller
Native kbm in fortnite for example will pair you with kbm users regardless of platform.
Xim users however are kbm players being paired against controller players while still getting the tweaks implemented into console game versions to minimize the playability difference between pc and console. In fortnite this would equate to building and shooting assistance. If you play fortnite through a xim you will have a building advantage as well as receive aim assist and smoother easier edits than any competitor you will face. So you will start every game with an advantage. Microsoft and other gaming companies do not like this idea.
As I've stated in previous posts the use of xim and like devices is outright cheating
And Microsoft actually DID kick players when xim was detected but these cheating clowns always find a way around it
So again if the game supports kbm on console natively then do you but if it doesn't it is because devs feel that kbm on console creates an uneventful playing field for stick users. It's my personal opinion that console should NOT support kbm as I feel it will eventually kill console gaming and here's why
If I'm gaming and force to my against kbm users why would I continue to use controller and place my self at a mechanical disadvantage. Now if I'm going to play kbm to stay competitive why would I buy the next gen console in 2020 for $600 when I could build a gaming specific pc for close to the same price and still play Xbox games through windows 10 AND have the option and versatility to customize my gaming unit however I see fit as well having better internet capabilities, more downloadable software and a better interface, gaming options like resolution control, running background programs, uncapped frames and a slew of other benefits. If consoles really do move toward native kbm the console scence will die. Especially with the most popular streamers being pc players the youth will start to ask for PC's for Xmas instead of an xbox

Actually they use a lower sensitivity to gain aim assist. As if you go above 7 or 8 you wont have any aim assist
