I didn't even know the 8bitdo controllers can do that. I was using it only when piloting the jet because the default controls with mouse keyboard for jets was terrible. I liked the 8bitdo Ultimate controllers because they have their own charging docks and when you lift it up it immediately syncs with the PC. I previously had to use wired PS5 and switch controllers beforehand and those wouldn't work sometimes with windows by default without work arounds.
So a hidden feature of my controller is what may be the culprit. It's possible I may have pressed the star icon when trying to turn the controller on (it goes to sleep if not used every minute). I'll look into the stars functionality and see if it's enabled or not on mine. Though I don't recall being able to use the Jet for long in the game I got banned during (I got spawn camped by the enemy fighter, thus me switching back to mouse keyboard as per the original title of this thread).
Probably so I have hit my screenshot button by mistake many times. You probably activated it by accident and they caught you. Sorry bro
Knowing is half the battle..Go Joe
I am trying to see if I can activate it right now. Got a video link? I noticed I did install the 8bitdo software to update the firmware of the 8bitdo's so they would work with the switch 2. No profiles were set up when I loaded it up.
Update: Tried to enable macro trigger modes by pressing the star and the profile buttons. Neither did anything and I think that's because I never set up any "macros" in their software into the controller. I did however end up finding out my controller does have an xbox button for taking pictures and videos I now know about, which is cute. Not familiar with the xbox overlay thing it did.
So would they ban people for using the 8bitdo by default or only when they ran macros? I don't know why they would wait for 200+ hours to ban me for using the controller. I thought you figured out where I got banned and I could explain it to them, but I am doubting its the controller itself here after trying to make it do macros and failing.
Update 2: I have uploaded pictures of my physical setup. I had to block out one part since it had a picture of my face in it. **Update 3: Also uploaded a screenshot of the hours.
