Marvel Rivals players will start getting banned on consoles for using the keyboard and mouse

NetEase Games has announced a ban on keyboard and mouse adapters in Marvel Rivals on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. The use of adapters like XIM, Cronus Zen, Titan Two, KeyMander, and Brook Sniper, which simulate gamepad input from keyboard and mouse, is considered a violation of the game's terms of service. NetEase cites the unfair advantage provided by increased control sensitivity and aiming assistance as the reason for the ban. The company has implemented detection tools to identify and ban accounts using these adapters.

Separately, the game has been experiencing issues where higher FPS correlates with increased ping. While this may be less noticeable with already high ping, a jump from, for example, 90ms to 150ms can significantly impact gameplay. This appears to be frame rate-related. Until a patch addresses this, players are advised to experiment with their FPS settings, with some suggesting maintaining around 90 FPS as a potential workaround, although this may seem counterintuitive to players accustomed to higher frame rates in other titles.
