controller players use gyroscope to control the view is cheat?

Hello, APEX Anti-Cheat Team! I would like to inquire whether the controller gyroscope function is considered a violation.😧

The Chinese controller industry has developed rapidly, and many controllers have even been used in the ALGS competition due to their excellent performance and diverse functions, such as the GameSir G7 Pro and ZD Legend Ultra controllers.

 However, a new input method has become popular among Chinese players: mapping joystick inputs using the controller's built-in gyroscope. The purpose of this is to retain aim assist while avoiding the physical delay caused by switching directions when aiming with the joystick.

 (When the joystick is pushed left and then needs to move in the opposite direction, it must return from the left to the center before being pushed to the right. This process creates delay due to the physical structure of the joystick. The original intention of aim assist is to reduce such delays, allowing controller players to compete relatively fairly against mouse players.)

Players who use gyroscopes believe that, unlike converters that gain advantages across different devices, their gyroscope signals are still output from the controller, so this is fair.

 I know that gyro are banned under ALGS tournament rules. So I would like to ask: is this practice fair for regular players? Or does it count as cheating similar to XIM converters (which map mouse inputs to joysticks to gain aim assist)? Can we use gyroscopes safely?
