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.
@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.
