Does 8bitdo Pro 2 Wired USB controller trigger any anti cheats?

I mean macros should trigger all kinds of anti cheat, right?

 

i find it concerning they don't mention this at all and im curious how you make sure there are no macros (doubt its possible tbh, since not mentioned by manufacturer) 

 

just to be clear i don't want to use macros and i would rather have a controller that doesn't have them, but otherwise the form factor seems nice.

I'd recommend looking at any game you play and see if the anticheat triggers just from hardware. If not, then as long as you don't use macros you should be fine

yeah, sure, but that's kinda the issue, most games don't tell you this, like at all. so i suppose only people who use this controller would know. 

 

might have to contact the manufacturer,  kinda crazy they have no info on that (their website barely has *any* info actually)

TBH I'm just deeply uncomfortable with the fact that most anticheat these days are basically rootkits. 
Might be a good idea to ask around on the subreddit too
