What hardware can I keep using after HWID?

Hi all,

After getting HWID banned I've ran into a lot of bs trying to work around it with temp spoofers, perm spoofers, etc. I have come to the point where I will probably just switch pcs with my brother who doesn't play Apex.

What hardware can I keep?
- Can I keep the monitor if I use CRU?
- What about my ps5 controller?
- Microphone? Hiding it with USBDeview worst case
- I can easily switch mouse and keyboard

Many thanks,

Peripherals like monitor, mouse, keyboard, or controller aren’t affected

They don't really ban those you listed as far as I know, but for your peace you can use those serial changers

peripherals are mostly fine, and CRU is no longer valid for EAC apex in general. Would be a waste of time.

However its a flag game, if u have a different pc with a flagged monitor u wont be banned, so do not worry.
It depends on how many flags you've got.

Apex isnt really that hard to spoof. You just need to get a good spoofer.
Those peripherals you mentioned are fine. You can use them all again.

They are more strict with checking your PC’s parts serials :handsdown:

Like disk, motherboard, bios, mac etc
