JoyToKey ( Joy2Key ) Safe to keep installed? Any risk of ban?

[YorkyPudsy]

Hi,

Does anyone out there have JoyToKey installed on their PC & can confirm that PUBG doesn't flag it or trigger a ban for it? Thanks!

To clarify, I don't need Joy2Key for PUBG (I'll be using KB+M with in-game bindings). I'm just being ultra-cautious here, because I usually leave JoyToKey running in the background (system tray), so it can auto-switch profiles for other games which I *do* use it with.

I'd be surprised if JoyToKey is detected as an exploit / unfair advantage, since it just allows you to map controller axes/buttons to key presses, and I don't believe it hooks into any games/EXEs themselves, or supports any kind of scripting...

...But in searching for an answer, I read that PUBG does block/ban for use of AHK (AutoHotkey, a scripting language for Windows), which I have previously used to automate certain desktop tasks and to remap controls for some games.

So to play it safe, I've uninstalled AHK as I no longer need it, and set JoyToKey not to auto-start with Windows for now.

I've seen a couple of mentions of JoyToKey on various forums (usually someone suggesting it back when PUBG may not have supported controllers properly?) But I've not yet seen anyone definitively state they've had it installed & running alongside PUBG without triggering a ban.

Big thanks to anyone who can answer me on whether JoyToKey is safe to leave installed/running! :)
