Input Spoofing via Virtual Gamepad Driver (ViGEmBus)

Hello,

I would like to report a potential competitive integrity issue in Apex Legends.

There is a widely used virtual gamepad driver called ViGEmBus (Virtual Gamepad Emulation Framework). This driver allows users to emulate a legitimate Xbox controller at the system level.

https://github.com/nefarius/ViGEmBus/releases

Some players are using this driver together with keyboard and mouse in order to emulate a virtual controller, trigger controller aim assist, while still playing with mouse precision.

This effectively bypasses input-based balancing and creates an unfair advantage in mixed input environments.

The driver itself may be legitimate and open-source, but its use for input spoofing allows aim assist to be activated without using a real controller.

I believe this should be investigated as it undermines competitive fairness.

Thank you for your time and for maintaining fair play.

Best regards.
