heck lots of controllers come with macro keys (configurable keys), or those mini mobile gaming keyboards, modern joysticks, heck even those elgato stream decks used for stream setup have configurable keys.... if they ban just for use of configurable keys they will lose all their playerbase.
you can run scripts on pretty much anything and it doesnt have to have a built in cache.
would like to know what they are actually blacklisting, i see people without bloody mice in the forum talking about being blocked from entering servers and it shows "blacklisted device: bloody mouse".
which most mice have, as well as keyboards.
im using my drivers and apps for my g-skill MX780 mouse, same goes for my g-skill KM780, tested them by loading into a modded server and even tried an official server as well and both let me load into the servers
i will say there are no macros turned on, but i do use them on games that allow it, but the apps mostly get used for lighting and other settings.
thats not true at all, anyone with coding experience can easily load code for said scripts into any mouse cache, or reflash anything with preloaded data on it, you can find programs that will do it for you as well, heck you can flash bios chips from major companies like intel ect... that are supposedly secured from tampering.
not trying to argue, but saying that bloody mouse is the only mouse capable of being used to cheat/script is just plain false, any hardware can be tampered with to cheat or give "unfair" advantage.
you can use tons of hardware with built in cache to run scripts and other stuff, heck a decent hardware tech can make their own mice/keyboards ect.. with built in memory.
lots of hardware like mice, keyboards, elgato stream deck, controllers, mini mobile gaming keyboards, ect.. have memory cache in them for storing profiles, macros, ect..
the elgato stream decks are basically full blown macro keyboards, which people have been making for decades.
in general anything with a chip/memory thats built in can be flashed with custom bios ect... very easily, as well as all other hardware in your computer.
this next part is just going further in depth into the subject of "advantage" over others.
loads of gaming hardware come with built in extras compared to other hardware, one could say that it isnt fair someone else can afford hardware with better perks and performance and that gives them advantage over others, heck playing on a big screen allows you to see stuff more easily, or having higher refresh and more fps, better headsets that can pin point directions, overclocking, computer knowledge, you can list of 100's of things that give unfair advantage over others when it comes to their computer having more advantage over others when it comes to competitive gaming.
heck recent cheats were using radar hacks from their phones to gain advantage over others in multiplayer shooter games, will rust start blacklisting cell phones form being connected to their computers while playing a game?
thing is its a thin line trying to go after companies for their hardware/ect.. instead of actually detecting cheats/scripts ect.. that are main issues, if they simply start banning hardware then eventually they will lose all their playerbase, no one is going to go out and buy new hardware every time rust wants to blacklist something.
If anything the pop will go up. Clowns like you were killing the game.
other way around, blacklisting hardware will bring player population down not up, the more hardware blacklisted the less people will be playing said game that is blacklisting them, they will just move to another game.
im not defending cheating in the slightest, yes cheaters need to be removed, but blacklisting hardware isnt the way to go.
