XIM, Cronus Zen, and ReaSnow S1 devices are all being used far less.

Ubisoft’s XIM detection sees “major reduction” in Rainbow Six Siege cheaters

For the uninitiated: XIM is a tool used to play console shooters with a mouse and keyboard and fake them as controllers, essentially giving them an unfair advantage in competitive shooters on console.

Ubisoft implemented a super effective way to counter XIM called "Mousetrap" a while ago. It slowly adds more and more input delay if you're playing with a XIM and tons of people have been sharing clips of players clearly trying to use it and having a 200ms+ delay in their actions and playing like they're drunk. It's quite funny.

As someone who used to play R6 on console, I salute the devs.
