Why use a KM switcher? Both can be plugged in at the same time.
Not saying that should not be allowed; just wondering why. Makes me wonder what else is at play.
If you were physically switching your inputs between the keyboard&mouse and controller, I could see that being a problem. Unecessary, a potential problem encouraging a false positive, and maybe even suspicious as to why you were doing it and whether you know of some exploit you were taking advantage of or something.
The KVM is used for switching between my personal desktop and my work laptop. Other KVM's I got before would randomly drop their inputs from time to time which was frustrating for work and gaming, so I got a high quality one - however this KVM isn't your standard KVM and can allow linking multiple desktop/laptops together. I never set it up that way - only had one monitor. I do recall the KVM when I first set it up causing problems with playing Mechabellum -whenever I tried pan the camera in Mechabellum it would just lock up. Figured it was trying to read the mouse cursor on the edge of the screen and switch to another computer input so I rewired it so the mouse went into the USB audio port of the device instead. That fixed the camera problem and I hadn't thought about it since.
The mouse and keyboard go through the KVM. The 8bitdo Ultimate is wireless with the wireless dongle plugged directly into the desktop only. No reason to have a gamepad plug into the work laptop.
I also have two setups at two locations, since I travel between the two. The location with the funky KVM is where I got banned. It's weird that I got banned because I'm pretty sure I've clocked in a 100 hours at each location over the past few months. The only other changes I've done in the past few weeks is updating my motherboard's BIOS and started playing Ashes of Creation, which has its own Easy Anti Cheat software - was thinking maybe that caused it. I actually just took a break from playing Ashes and loaded up BF6 when I got banned after playing a couple matches.
