Keyboard and mouse set up in PVP cheating or legit gaming?

So I was on Twitch tv this one time and found this Destiny stream where a hunter was annihilating with Thorn in PVP, I asked him about his set up and it turned out he's using a keyboard and mouse. How is this set up fair for people using a controller? Btw here's the stream: http://www.twitch.tv/vibez87 [b]HERE'S WHAT"S CONSIDERED A BANNABLE OFFENSE PLEASE READ:[/b] http://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/11929 It states that things like modified console hardware (like an adapter) is banned. Edit: every PC gamer knows keyboard and mouse is superior to controllers. That's why it's an unfair advantage, and to allow it where the majority is clearly expecting the other player to be using a controller when that is not the case is just deceitful. Edit: crap like this don't even hurt me. It hurts the game and it's longetivity, no one wants to play a game that people can exploit freely whether it's PVE or PVP. So, if you don't agree, it doesn't matter soon this game will just be an afterthought Proof: http://www.rahulsood.com/2010/07/console-gamers-get-killed-against-pc.html?m=1 Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llyw5xRayaQ Edit: a lot of people think this is about using K+M. It is not. It is about using it in PvP against the average controller user. It is a huge advantage. No one is saying the best console player can't stand toe to toe with a K+M user but your average controller user will definitely lose most of the times. All the cry baby KBM wannabes in this thread are trying to justify their bad behavior. If Destiny PVP is so inconsequential then why would you spend hundreds of dollars to get the a KBM set up. Ooh that bit of cognitive dissonance got you huh . Birds of the same feather flock together and it seems all the scumbag cheaters of Destiny have come to the aid of their king So this is what Vibez think of people who refuse to spend the money so they can get on his level. [quote]Yes maybe if it was actual PC gaming, it would, but since my turn rate is limited exactly the same as controller and I am stuck at 30 FPS with the rest of you peasants, your comparisons don't mean shit! Stop trying to act like you know what you are talking about please, it is embarrassing for us all Does my method of enjoyment really cause you so much pain?[/quote] If it's not to your liking why don't you play another FPS game title on the PC with others who have the same set up instead of picking in controller users who you have an unfair advantage against Facts: Keyboard + mouse is not a supported device you have to purchase an adapter on his case it's the Xim which costs about $124. You use a smartphone to configure settings. You can make any excuse you want but this sounds like modding to me This has nothing to do with your preferences but rather your need to be noticed on this game for all the wrong reasons. Til the time keyboard and mouse become standard devices on consoles, hooking it up so you can demolish players using controllers in the Crucible to feed your ego or some sense of having achieved something is plain dick-ish and considered cheating. If anyone can make any coherent counter argument then make it. Having the "opportunity" to buy it isn't a counter argument since I'm sure most people are either reluctant to spend their hard earned money so they can compete with scums like you, and most are even naive that such devices actually exist. [b]Saying Scuf controllers are allowed isn't a legitimate reason either because these are still in essence controllers with extra buttons, if you can't grasp the concept of the difference between aiming with a joystick on a controller and aiming a mouse then that's your bad. [/b] This argument could be so easily resolved if only Bungie could make a statement on their stance in the subject. If they say it's allowed to attach said adapter to the system then I'll concede. Within the language of the advertisement for a KBM adapter it states that the adapter is: [b]"Undetectable With most modded controllers it’s possible to be detected using a mods or rapider fire online; then you could find yourself banned. That’s no fun. This can be an annoying and frustrating nuisance with most modded controllers. However, the manufacturers of Titan One have said that their device cannot be detected online and that it’s completely invisible."[/b] [b]EVEN IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THESE ADAPTERS IT DECLARES THAT THESE DEVICES ARE BANNABLE OFFENSE[/b] I believe we're finish here.

  • Ok I just read the part about spending hundreds of dollars. How is buying a $20 keyboard "spending hundreds"?

    • After playing fps on PC for so long, then coming to console and having to relearn how to be even close to decent with the sticks, I'd be furious to find out that the person I was losing to was using a kb/m. There's no way around it; using a keyboard and mouse has all pros and no cons when compared to a controller.

      • A more important point than any of this: WHO CARES??? It's a GAME. If people validate their existence by being good at a game, and having a different controller is their only means to BE good, Who. The. HELL. Cares? If it affects you this much that you post up an ESSAY about it, I suggest finding a less stressful hobby

            • K+M users are cheating. Destiny isn't meant to be played like that. Xbox or Playstation, it doesn't matter. Mouse and Keyboard actually is better when you have enough experience with it compared to a controller since the controller has limits as far as aiming and turning.

              Since this product nor the several other product like it are not exclusive and are made available for everyone who is willing to put up the money. Too bad if you dont have the money or you dont feel like paying...well then you are not serious about being competitive and you should take your crying elsewhere. Until i watched a streamer house vid today i didnt know this existed...and its apparently been around since early 2014. So you have also probably faced people using this setup and never even knew it. Just cause you dont have it doesnt make it unfair....what that means is either GET ONE or accept the fact that others may be using one. Your like a kid whose mom and dad got him the blue version of pokemon instead of the red and now johnny at school has pokemon you dont. GMAFB! Edit:Connecting to the Destiny game service with any of the following: Modified game software Modified game assets Modified console hardware Modified console firmware Using an external program to modify the operation of the Destiny game software (trainer or mod) Apparently you dont know how to read either no where does it say modified controllers. Edit2: And if you are so inept to think console hardware is the controller let me quickly correct you. Console hardware is the CONSOLE. Controllers fall under the external hardware category.

              • I really do hope the banhammer falls on the mouse users. $124 just to have an advantage in an already unbalanced gametype? Thats sad.

                • Sorry to burst ur bubble but ps4 consoles support wireless and Bluetooth keyboards and mouses, I'm sure Xbox ones also do. U can literally plug a keyboard and mouse into ur PS4 and have it working so it isn't an adaptor or modification no more then a controller plugged in is. Now if u had an adaptor that u used for more then just a compatibility adaptor because ur keyboard or mouse were modified then it's cheating. Even controllers that are modified are cheating but not keyboards/mouses that just plug in.

                  • If you need a unlicensed adapter to use a m/kb its cheating. When you can plug a m/kb directly into the ps4 then it would not be cheating. End discussion.

                  • the only thing that might be questionable - [quote]Using an external program or device to automate gameplay or circumvent idle detection [/quote] [u]idle detection[/u],if it keeps him being detected,then might violate. idk how detection would work with keyboard and mouse or if it bypassing the mode. im not that techy to have that answer. otherwise its legit i think

                    • If you want to play games with a KB and mouse, go play PC games. Console games are meant to be played with a game pad.

                        • If Scuf controllers are allowed, then Keyboards and mouses should be allowed. They both give unfair advantages over the stock controllers. As long as they do this, they should be treated equally.

                            It's a gray area. But you are being a bit sensationalist about it and are obviously biased. 1) it doesn't violate any EULA. Nothing is modded. It doesn't allow users to do anything a normal controller would not also allow. No rapid fire, no auto aim, no recoil scripting, macros, etc. 2) MS has already acknowledged the existence (on XBox 360) and said they continuing to assess them but didn't see it as violating any agreements. 3) It fits in the same categories of peripherals as fighting game arcade sticks, driving and flight simulator setups, etc. They are ideal control schemes for a particular genre of games. Yes, the controller could be used, but show me the last SFIV champ who used a controller. 4) PC gamers are flocking to consoles because that is where the playerbase has flocked to. Yes, they could play on PC, but the community is smaller, and frankly, not as supported by devs and publishers. #4 is the key. The best console players are as good and better than the best M&KB players. Take Destiny for example - look at the top players and streamers. More of them are controller than M&KB. You may feel like M&KB players have some innate advantage because they all seem to do well. They do well because they've probably been playing FPS games online and/or competitively for longer than some controller players have been alive.... let alone been playing games. If you think it is such an advantage, pick one up and try it out. I've suggested this to so many people. Half of them go back to controllers because they aren't as good.... especially console kiddies who want one because they think it, alone, will give them this huge advantage and let them kill everyone and make awesome montages. But the reality is, they just aren't good at FPS games. If you want to know the advantage that M&KBs offer console gamers, it's the fact that it allows you to keep the 20 years of FPS experience on PCs you've accumalated and put it to use on a different platform. Don't get me wrong - it is an advantage. It is easier to be good with it. But the ceiling is the same ceiling as controller users. You can be as good or better with a controller, but it takes more time and commitment to do so. And let's be honest - FPS games shouldn't be played on controllers anyway. Aim assist, bullet magnetism, etc.... all shit mechanics added to compensate for a less than ideal input device.

                          • So The elite controller that allows you to map your control should be considered cheating, since it puts an unfair advantage to the average player. Way to go Microsoft, you made a control that could get players banned.

                          • Keyboard and mouse is a crutch plain and simple. I would not call it "cheating" but it is just as bad as a mode controller. Anyone who uses keyboard and mouse is just showing that he/she is unskilled in true console gaming because console gaming is a test of controller skill. My example is this: TRT and other types of steroids are legal to take under a doctors supervision but if that person taking the "legal" steroids are competing in professional sports it gives them an unfair advantage. It's not technically cheating but like I said prior, it's a crutch and a huge one at that.

                          • Not a pc gamer much so I don't know first hand. But how is a keyboard and mouse more effective than a controller? In my mind the movement would be a lot harder on k and m wouldn't it?

                            • I'm just bored so I'll ask this question, is it cheating to use a steering wheel on a racing game? Or should everyone use a controller because that's what everyone is expected to use? Also I know plenty of people that use keyboard and mouse and no offense to them but it doesn't make you a great player. The great players are already good before hand, not to mention that the majority of people that use these keyboard and mouse adapters come from a PC background and only want to play console exclusives and to add more to that most of them are in their older years of gaming 27+ so they aren't exactly going to be much a threat anyways.
