Controllers available for ALGS

@Rexit0 From my understanding, if any of those controllers gives any kind of advantage, its not allowed.

Although, if you're wanting to play in the ALGS, I would stick to the controller that came with your console. (If you're on PC, a standard or generic Xbox controller should be fine).

Furthermore, if you do end up going to any of the ALGS events, the controller you bring would need to be approved. (Which means its best to use the console's main controller rather than any 3rd party controller).

Its very long, (mainly because its a legal agreement), but here's the ALGS' offical rules:

> [Apex Legends Global Series' Official Rules]

I am not asking for a recommended controller that can be used with ALGS, but can the controller I gave in my first question be used? I'm just asking if the controller I gave in my first question can be used.

Hello, I 'll go to the ALGS Year4 CS and will be attending as a spectator in Sapporo. I found out that I can play Big TDM in the free play area in the program. I was wondering if it is possible to bring my own controller to play? If so, I would like to bring my DualSenseEdge.

@Rexit0 I've looked into what these do, (and from what I understand), these aren't going to be accepted.

BIG BIG WON BLITZ2 series:
- This controller has macro support, (which isn't allowed), and also has customizable buttons, (which may also not be allowed). It also has gyro support, (but I'm not sure if that part would be a problem due to the Switch's JoyCons having gyro support as well), however, I'd imagine that it would not be allowed.

Hex Gaming Phantom Controller:
- Assuming mappable buttons isn't allowed, this one won't be allowed due to having mappable buttons, (and the "switchable profile" feature might not be allowed, as an Event Official might see it as a way of having macros and/or scripts).

As for the "Astro C40 TR battle beaver thumbstick module", the only thing I could find about it was that its the analog stick itself, (if it is, you won't be able to mod one of the event's controllers). If its an actual controller that provides anything mentioned above, then its safe to assume that it won't be allowed either.

Lastly, any back buttons and/or pedals, (the ones on the back of the controller), those might not be allowed either, as its an extra feature that other competitors, (most likely), won't have on their controllers, (and this feature can be seen as an advantage), so I'd assume that any back buttons and/or pedals won't be allowed as well.

If you need an official response from EA/Respawn, you could try contacting EA Support and see what they say about these controllers.

Note: I don't work for EA and/or Respawn, or know how an Event Official might/would judge a controller. This is just my opinion based on what I know and understand of the game and of the ALGS rules. That being said, I do suggest using one of the provided controllers from the ALGS event itself.

@Yanushee_Norn From what I understand, as long as it follows the ALGS rules, (as in the controller doesn't give any advantages, such as macros and/or scripts), then it should be alright to use that controller. So, assuming that the DualSense Edge you have is the one that came with your console, (or is another one of Sony's/PlayStation's controllers), then yeah, I'd imagine it would be accepted by an Event Official.

To be on the safe side, I would avoid any controller that has:

- Gyro, (besides the Switch's JoyCons)
- Macros and/or Scripts
- Back Buttons and/or Back Pedals

- Mappable Buttons

- Anything else that provides an advantage, (such as StrikePacks)

Note: I don't work for EA and/or Respawn, or know how an Event Official might/would judge a controller. This is just my opinion based on what I know and understand of the game and of the ALGS rules. That being said, I do suggest using one of the provided controllers from the ALGS event itself.
