How Fortnite is able to detect gimx?

Post by slowdrums »

Hi!

I know there is a native mnk support but still I would like to understand guys how Fortnite is able to detect gimx? And if there is any way to prevent that detection? Someone on this forum said to use axis intensifies but I don’t understand actually how to do it and how this actually help. I would be grateful for answers.

Hey,

AFAIK Fornite for some time used left stick axis detection. If there were only extreme values like full up or full down (WASD keyboard mapped to left stick) then it flagged it as adapter. I'm not sure if they use it anymore because this method got bypassed by every other commercial adapter in matter of days.

The funniest part about that kind of detection is that using WASD keys for left analog stick movement can't even be considered an advantage over a controller joystick for movement :lol:
