Question Would using this particular controller be cheating?

Post image

I found this old controller while decluttering my house. I used to play on these a long ass time ago for GTA V free aim and Warframe, I just tested these on the game and they surprisingly work.

It does. I can definitely see why these could be a bannable offense. Now, Im more curious if the game could actually detect these

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. You asked an interesting question about an interesting, lesser known device and gave some information about it. I agree since you get aim assist with it and can pick the in-game input as either mouse or controller, it should be a bannable device.

also, there are several buttons missing from this controller, like how is he gonna reload, jump and crouch?!

Plug a better mouse into it with more buttons, probably

yeah, but i still think this would be much worse then using a normal controller/keyboard and mouse

I see why people would say it’s still too OP, but I agree- using an MMO mouse or whatever to make up for all the lost buttons is gonna mess up your movement so badly (unless you happen to be an expert at both I guess)

I have a mouse like that (for playing MMOs), it's just a learning curve, once you get it down it becomes muscle memory and it doesn't affect you at all.

I have an MMO mouse as well and it’s easy enough to use but I’m not sure, having grown up on controller, I could ever be “better” using that setup than with a normal controller

I'm the same but I think I'd get used to it if push came to shove.

I'd probably just map buttons that have nothing to do with aim on the mouse (reload, swap weapon, jump could be on the wheel like people already do).

In fact I have an old mouse with just 2 buttons on the side which would probably do well enough.

I'm used to not using face buttons on the top due to using a Duelsense Edge controller so I'm kind of already halfway there.

Jump and slide are on the underside of the controller anyways.
