Can Switching between Mouse/KB and gamepad cause a Gameplay Enhancement Ban?

I was recently perma-banned on New Years Eve, appealed and denied, and I am currently on a second appeal trying to have it reversed. I have been researching trying to figure out how I could have been banned and I stumbled across a reddit thread where a bunch of users were banned for using software called reWASD or something similar, mainly their goals are either for enabling auto-aim on mouse/keyboard or handicap controls. I get the intent of trying to ban the former. 

I don't use reWASD, but I do use my 8BitDo controller whenever I hop into a fighter jet. I switch back and forth between gamepad and mouse/keyboard depending on whether I am flying a Jet or not. I found flying a jet with gamepad a much better experience (and I was looking into getting a flight stick at some point). The question I have is - is it possible to flag yourself for a ban by switching back and forth? In the game I was banned during, I was switching back and forth quickly due to being spawn camped while trying to get into the jet. I was banned while piloting a helicopter with mouse and keyboard but had been spawn camped right beforehand while trying to fly the jet.  

I came here because some on reddit mentioned coming here may help.

    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. 

  • I just had a weird performance drop (frame rate drop) happen while playing Ashes of Creation that seemed to persist after shutting the game down. I tried loading Mass Effect and it took like 5 minutes, which seemed irregular. 

    I've noticed other weird performance drops while playing bf6 too back in October I think. The game would have a fps drop, feeling like a weird time dilation, and everything would load slowly until I powered down and power cycled the PSU. It was weird but rare (happened like 2-3 times). The performance drop made the games unplayable.
