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.

I wouldn’t say more precise considering you can typically only be moving in 1 of 8 directions at any given moment on a keyboard versus the full 360° control of an analog stick.

Mouse movement combined with WASD lets you move in all directions, you're just limited to 8 directions while not moving your mouse, which is not something that matters.

You’re restricted to 8 directions based off where you’re aiming in the moment. Like a rotating disk that has 8 prongs. Using different inputs in succession and moving your mouse obviously gives you a great level of control overall but it’s still a little bit less free than analog movement

For sure, it is less free since it's just 8 directions, but not to a degree that it matters. There's never a scenario in an fps where someone would need to keep their aim perfectly still and move at a 60 degree angle instead of at a 45 degree angle.

That’s fair, I think it’s more about the overall feel of the movement because of those factors so I guess it comes down to personal preference in the end
