I want to do a controller-only run and noticed that looking up/down is not possible on controller unless mouse controls are fully disabled by setting cl_mouselook to "0" in the config file. Is this banned in any category? Imo it should not be banned since it's only a workaround to prevent a bug.

i think that "enabling the gamepad" in the menu options might change that command, i really have no clue. if it does, then it would be an allowed command because of "-Any bind that is accessible from the menu" in the rules

if it doesn't then yeah i do think it should be allowed within the rules, because technically it wouldn't be allowed under current rules

Unfortunately "Enable the Gamepad" only means the left analog stick (I'm using an Xbox360 controller) is automatically used for movement regardless of keybinds. Alright, I'll suggest the rule in the rules thread.
