Frequently Asked Questions
Is Antimicro still being updated?
While the original Antimicro development has slowed, the community maintains active forks like AntiMicroX that provide regular updates and new features. Our download includes the most stable and feature-complete version available.
Will games detect Antimicro as a cheat?
No, Antimicro operates at the input device level and doesn't interfere with game files or memory. Games receive standard keyboard and mouse inputs, making detection impossible. This makes it safe to use even with games that employ anti-cheat systems.
Can I use multiple controllers simultaneously?
Yes, Antimicro fully supports multiple controllers connected to the same computer. Each controller can use its own mapping profile, making this perfect for local multiplayer games that lack native controller support.
