Marvel Rivals Bans Keyboard and Mouse Adapters to Ensure Fair Play

Netease Games has officially banned the use of keyboard and mouse adapters in the console version of Marvel Rivals to ensure fair play. This decision comes after concerns that these adapters could give players an unfair advantage in aiming and control, especially in competitive online scenarios. To combat this, Netease has implemented in-game detection software that works to identify users of such hardware. Players are also encouraged to report suspected users to maintain a balanced gaming environment. The penalties for using these adapters can range from temporary account suspensions to permanent bans and removal from leaderboards.

The ban aims to foster a level playing field among players by eliminating the advantages that keyboard and mouse users could exploit, addressing the balance between console and PC gameplay. This ensures that players using standard controllers can compete fairly without being outmatched by those utilizing keyboard and mouse setups.

Marvel Rivals is a free-to-play fighting game that features popular characters from the Marvel universe, creating an immersive and competitive experience. It has gained significant traction, reaching impressive player counts soon after launch, highlighting the growing interest in competitive gaming among Marvel fans.
