EAC: Blacklisted device - Bloody Mouse - how to play with banned mice?

Why does EAC block Bloody and A4Tech mice?

Since December 11, 2019, the Rust anti-cheat (EasyAntiCheat) has started blocking mice of the Bloody and A4Tech brands. The reason is that these devices are often used for macros that compensate for recoil, giving an unfair advantage in combat.

If you have such a mouse connected, the game will not start , and instead the following message will appear:

"EAC: Blacklisted device - Bloody Mouse"

How to fix the error?

1. Disable the prohibited mouse

1. Close Rust completely.

2. Disconnect the Bloody/A4Tech mouse from the computer.

3. Connect another mouse (Razer, Logitech, SteelSeries, etc.).

4. Run Rust and the error should disappear.

2. What mice are prohibited?

EAC only blocks devices from these brands:

• Bloody

• A4Tech

✅ Approved brands (work without problems):

• Razer

• Logitech

• Corsair

• SteelSeries

• Zowie

• HyperX

• ASUS

• and others.
