    Question questions about rs3 bot detection - keystrokes

    Hi dear users,

    I have questions about rs3 keystroke detection:

    - Is there a difference between scripting virtual keystrokes (vs physically pressing them)? Is this detected?
    - Does the time matter that a key is 'held down' and is this worth implementing? (versus just sending keystrokes with 0 press-down delay)
    - What do you need to look out for when trying to make keystrokes less detectable?

    Any help is appreciated!

    - yes, no not detectable.
    - yes, time matters
    - how do you normally type?

    Thank you for your answer. To follow up, do you think that computer-generated randomness is detectable? And are there ways to make computer-generated randomness less detectable? I read somewhere that over time computer-generated randomness results in detectable patterns.

    Is there a way to detect computer-generated randomness
    That's a tough question to unpack. Yes and No is the short answer.

    Be careful when creating loops. Don't have behavior that is a repeating pattern over long periods of time.

    Thank you for your very helpful answers. Why can virtual keystrokes not be detected?

    has to do with how the client receives input and how your PC sends input to it.

    A USB keyboard doesn't have "extra" data to "send along" per-se.
