Apex Legends players have been grappling with the issue of controller configs for months, and it seems the problem is only getting worse. Recently, a player shared new configs that enable controller users to perform moves that some consider to be cheating.

These Steam configs for controllers provide a range of advantages, including auto-aim, automated movement techniques like tap-strafing and neo-strafing, and even automatic 180-degree snap-aim turns. Essentially, these configs give controller users the same capabilities as those playing with a mouse and keyboard.
However, the use of these configs has sparked controversy within the Apex Legends community. Many players argue that these add-ons are essentially cheat software, as they provide an unfair advantage over those who play without them.
Even professional Apex player Jordan “Reps” Wolfe expressed his frustration, questioning why Respawn Entertainment allows such configs to exist in the game. Content creator Treeree also condemned the use of configs, calling for them to be replaced with a fairer alternative.
This issue has been a topic of debate for months, with players urging Respawn to ban the use of configs altogether. These configuration files, which are essentially macros bound to controller buttons, have become a serious concern for the game’s integrity.
The debate between controller and mouse and keyboard players has long been a contentious one, especially in a game like Apex Legends where aim assist can provide a significant advantage. However, these configs blur the line between fair competition and cheating, and players are demanding action.
Esports Wiz reached out to Respawn Entertainment for a comment on the matter, but as of now, no response has been received.
