This post is only about the use of tape for drag clicking. It is not about whether drag clicking itself should be allowed.
The current rule:
“Making physical modifications to your mouse to increase your CPS. If you do, the moderation team or our anticheat may restrict your access to our server.”
Why this rule doesn’t make sense
Tape is not cheating. It doesn't automate clicks, doesn’t change internal mouse behavior, and doesn’t give anyone an unfair advantage over users with more expensive mice like the Bloody A70x or Roccat Kain, which ship with textured buttons designed for drag clicking.
If the exact same texture is allowed when sold by for example Bloody or Turtle Beach, then replicating that texture manually should not be classified as cheating.
All tape does is replicate the exact same texture by applying a small piece of tape to cheaper mice that otherwise wouldn’t register your drag clicks properly. Tape only adds grip, it only works if the player has mastered drag clicking. It doesn’t click by itself.
If those factory made buttons are allowed, then tape that creates the exact same surface should be allowed too.
Let’s break this down
-A Bloody A70x or Roccat Kain ships with textured buttons made for drag clicking out of the box. That’s allowed.
-A $10 office mouse with a piece of electrical tape to achieve the same texture? And that’s not allowed?
So what exactly is being punished here, the clicking method or how expensive your mouse is?
This rule punishes players who can’t afford higher end gear and forces everyone to either buy specific mice or be stuck with unfair limitations.
The inconsistency
This rule enforces “no hardware modifications,” but where’s the line?
-What about Glorious mouse grip tape, officially sold by Glorious themselves?
-And just to push the logic, what if I put tape on my finger, not the mouse? Is that allowed? Because that’s not a mouse modification.
If using tape counts as cheating, then the A70x and other drag optimized mice are essentially pay to win tools that exploit the same mechanical principle, but they’re allowed because it was done by the manufacturer?
That doesn’t make sense. Judgement should be based on function, not origin. If a modification mimics legal hardware with no added automation it should not be treated differently
Other major PvP servers like Hypixel don’t ban tape. Why? Because it’s not a real issue. There’s no automation, no artificial CPS inflation, just a different surface texture for grip.
Drag clicking itself is allowed on CubeCraft. So why ban the one thing that simply makes it easier on budget mice?
Another big problem is that this rule is almost impossible to enforce fairly.
How exactly can staff or the anticheat tell if someone has tape on their mouse? You can’t see tape through gameplay, you can’t detect it with software and you can’t prove it without physically inspecting someone’s mouse, which obviously isn’t possible online.
So what does enforcement come down to? Suspicion? Accusations? Players admitting it?
That’s not a fair or consistent system. If tape can’t be detected then banning it serves no purpose other than punishing honest players who admit to using it, while others just stay silent and play on.
A clear and fair solution
If CubeCraft wants to prevent extreme CPS abuse then do what other servers do, implement a CPS cap.
That removes the gray area entirely. It doesn’t matter how you click, as long as you stay under 20 CPS (or whatever limit is set). It’s clear, fair, and enforceable without extra confusion or unnecessary restrictions. It treats a taped button and a factory textured button the same, and keeps drag clicking accessible for all players, regardless of their gear.
(Or stick with the auto kick system that’s already in place.)
If I’m missing something here please let me know, but I and almost everyone I’ve spoken with, just don’t understand this rule.
TL;DR:
Tape doesn’t click for you, it doesn’t modify hardware behavior. It simply replicates the textured surface of higher end mice, nothing more. Remove the tape ban and make it fair for all players, not just those who can afford €50-70 mice.
Reminder: This post is only about the use of tape for drag clicking. It’s not about whether drag clicking should be allowed, that’s a different discussion.
I couldn't even imagine that in the end it would turn out so illogical, and why? moderation is limited in its capabilities, and they made some kind of boundaries for themselves that they can't go beyond, OR CUBECRAFT likes how everyone talks about drag clicks
I’ll always be grateful to you. You accepted my helper app, got me here.. and that meant alooot for me. Will miss you so much!! You’ve had such a positive impact on so many of us. Take care and stay amazing
