changing DPI with mouse keys will get me banned?

[Pak0tac]

So i was wondering, someone told me that pressing the DPI keys on my mouse while im in game will get me parma-banned, is this true?
I have a friend that was banned for, as he said, changing his DPI mid game, it made me worried a bit

[DIDOU]

This is nonsense, because I also change the DPI depending on the weapon. Changing the sensitivity of the mouse is quite legitimate.

You friend is trying to cover up the fact he cheated with some bullspit claim. Ask him to tell the truth then remind him that a large contingent of Hunt players use DPI changing mice every day, without being banned.

no , no game has ever banned for dpi changing during a match because for some people DPI changing is a requirement. It doesn't give a person such an advantage to make it unfair and the game would ONLY see it as refined mouse movements. Which is normal gaming.

HOWEVER.. if you download software that assists you with actual aiming itself and it lines the target up for you. THAT IS A BAN. and will result in the loss of your game and everything in it.

No, real cheaters are not banned in hunt.

[Echorion]

No offence, but your friend is either mistaken or lying.

It's VERY hard to get banned in Hunt in general, short of serious cheating or being VERY abusive on a regular basis.

Minor things like auto hotkey are just...blocked...they don't even ban for it.

Lastly, hardware changes such as overlay cross hairs on monitors, DPI on mouse, etc- can't even be detected in the first place.

i can and sometimes change my DPI and im not banned so ima go with a no

Using special keys and programs on your mouse to auto correct for recoil, or to do other abuses would cause problems. But using the dpi button on your mouse won't even be noticed by the game. It will not care about that.

There are other programs that are used for making some mice and controllers work and they have caused issues before, but generally because they were programs used mostly for doing as said, auto correcting for recoil.

So most likely your friend used a program that wasn't just for changing dpi and may have used the other features or not, but it got detected as an interfering program.

That's one of the more crazy things I've heard. No you can't get banned for it as it doesn't provide any sort of advantage, if anything I would think that'd mess you up more in game. My last mouse had a DPI button and I disabled them.
