Re: Keyboard and mouse on consoles

@yevgeniymakthis has been addressed so many times in this thread. did you only read the first topic? Put me in PC lobbies, against other mouse/keyboard people. Super easy, if Mouse/Keyboard is selected as input device, crossplay is enabled, and can't be disabled. Once you enter a game, you can't change input. If you start the match on m&k, you're locked into it, if you start on controller you're locked into it.


So many replies against input choice on consoles have said i'm looking for an advantage against other console players. Such a lazy take, especially when there are multiple examples of me reiterating that I'm happy to, and full on expecting to be, forced into crossplay lobbies.

  • @FireBear82 In words it's so simple, in all games where there is support for keyboard and mouse, nowhere is the division you're talking about. + usually games do not support keyboard and mouse (eg rainbow six siege), in warzone they are supported without adapters, in other cases you need adapters. In most cases, adapters work this way - you connect the adapter to the ps5, then connect a keyboard and mouse to it, but the adapter itself in the system shows your control as a "gamepad". and everything. and taoya idea here will not work, because it does not work that way. Perhaps you do not do so and I do not blame you. I only as a man who plays shooters on the joystick for more than 5 years, I can say, it is very difficult to beat the players with a keyboard and mouse, it is real, but at the expense of tactics, not shooting. At the higher ranks in most games are now sitting people with a mouse and keyboard, and it is very frustrating to play and understand that you could be higher ranked, but will not, because other players have an advantage, and play with such devices do not want to. I play on the couch, not in front of the monitor, and I like the gamepad

    @yevgeniymak That's great that you like to sit on the couch and play with a controller. I prefer to play on xbox with Mouse and keyboard and frankly I don't care if I play with you or not. But I would like the OPTION to play with friends that have PC just as I do today in COD using the input method of my choice. Realistically the consoles are PCs and I would gladly designate mine as such if it allowed me to play the way I prefer.
    As I've said in a prior post: I am to blame for buying the game without confirming KB&M support, but I saw that they were doing cross platform against PC and just assumed that was a given.

    @MTFULemming I understand everything, but there are rules on the console. you bought the console not with a keyboard and mouse, you bought it with a gamepad. fine you want to play with friends from the pc, on the console with a keyboard and mouse, but no one guarantees that you will not use it when playing with console players, that's first. second, no one has to do what you want, you buy the console and play the way it works, not set your rules.

    @yevgeniymakman, no offense, but do you understand what input based matchmaking is? I mean really no offense, but I think you are just really trying so hard bullshetting here

    @yevgeniymak Thank you for your comments but I'm not going down this rabbit hole with you. You are correct the Dev's will do as they please, you are also correct that my console came with a controller. neither of those facts change that I want to see native KB&M support

    @yevgeniymak RULES ON CONSOLE? Whaaaaat are you ranting abouuut maan!? There a MANY games that support Mouse and Keyboard, there are even SPECIALLY made Keyboards and Mice, JUST FOR FREAKING CONSOLES, Do you understand!? Your old perception of how consoles should play is looooong gone man, this is 2021, not 2005. There are no rules for console....
