I have two questions regarding what is allowed in the PC version of the game:

1. Is remapping keys with i.e. AutoHotkey allowed? I dislike having to reach across the keyboard to hit 'esc', so I would like to remap it. If this is allowed, what about mapping multiple keys to the same one?

2. Are virtual controllers and programs that emulate controller input allowed? Since the warp in the current any% requires both a keyboard and a controller I was wondering if people that do not have a controller are allowed to use a virtual one to emulate the direct input of such a controller. I personally do have a dualshock 4, but binding another keyboard key to be the A/X-button would be a lot more comfortable. This would however make the warp more consistent, since pressing two keyboard keys on the same frame is extremely easy.

I don't know how the remapping topic is generally handled in speedrun communities for PC games, or if remapping is banned in general.

1: If you don't show input display and/or hand cam, then yes it's allowed and either does mapping multiple keys. 2: The rules says that you can't use DS4Windows but yes you're allowed to use virtual controllers and programs that emulate controller input. Remapping controllers buttons to your keyboard and mouse for xbox one, nintendo switch and PS4 are also allowed to do that via Cronusmax Plus Cross Cover Gaming Adapter!
