AI features are coming to almost every piece of hardware you can think of, but when it gives you this much of an advantage wouldn't it be considered…cheating?
AFAIK competitive gaming events always happen on hardware that is provided by the organizers so everyone has the same. In some games players are allowed to bring their own mouse and/or keyboard/controller but imo that’s already a pretty big “vector of attack” for hacks
You can’t just give everyone the same mouse and kb if you want it to actually be fair tbh, different people have different kbs and mice for preference and ergonomic reasons. Different switches, maybe tolerable. Different kb size, very awkward and will lead to misclicks. Different mouse size? Even different sensor position? You will lose some precision until you’re used to it.
Though organizers could provide a specified model, and ban peripherials with features that are deemed unfair.
Yeah that’s why most games’ competitive events allow players to bring their own, but given the fuckton of dependencies some of the “gamer” peripherals install I’m kinda surprised I haven’t seen anyone exploiting a vulnerability to use some cheats yet.
For example I have a gaming mouse with onboard memory, and I don’t really trust Razer to secure that shit correctly (given the fact that their driver updating software doesn’t even bother not downloading the previous versions when not necessary nor cleaning up downloads after installation. Fun fact : I recently discovered I had 10+ GB of download cache after barely a year of usage, for a mouse)
