One problem with this argument is that there are users with disabilities and carpal tunnel syndrome. They find it easier to use a keyboard than a controller. Dr. Lupo used a keyboard because of such a problem. I developed carpal tunnel syndrome while using a controller during Y1 of D1. Fortunately, I recovered over the next couple years.

I'm pretty sure it is, they simply can't detect it though. Sure if you spent the time to integrate an API which might be able to detect that it's an adapter emulating controller inputs you MIGHT be able to catch most people, assuming XIM doesn't update their firmware to combat this. Otherwise I don't really think they find it to be a huge issue, since the mouse would be locked to the maximum [i]controller[/i] sensitivity which is incredibly slow, the advantage of M&K through xim wouldn't really be that big, sure you can fine tune your shots but nothing else.

Sony and microsoft will have to take actions in order to get rid of devices like cronus, maybe huge developers like ea/activision but definitely not bungie. I think using xim or any device to purely just use m&k with is dirty but devices like cronus that grant zero recoil, bonus aa and scripts (auto jump/crouch strafe/etc off trigger pull) is 100% cheating especially when the cheater is stacking cronus/m&k together. Thankfully D2 doesnt have sbmm like cod/apex and crouching strafing isnt as useful although I dread the day where autos/smgs become meta again because of those chumps with anti recoil. I quit apex at lv250 and cold war at lv100 due to 70% of my opponents all using m&k and/or cronus due to sbmm.
