Hello , so since yesterday i have been playing against mouse and keyboard users on ps4 ! if the game thinks that hackers (that use some software o overplay and improve their accuracy) on pc should be put on their own lobby just because other players can't play at the same time and its unfair .... well what about mouse & keyboard users on consoles isn't that cheating as well not just that but those adapters they use can be programmed to adjust their aim as well as controlling recoil .... 

what i'm asking is either put them in same game , or against pc players as a cross-platform or just simply permanently bane them 
but for now i want to play apex with ordinary console player just like i used to do , and Thanks

    Yep, happens to me, too. EA and Respawn won't/can't do anything about it though. Sony is your best bet to combat XIM and mouse and keyboard users.

    after some m&k users kills me i notice that their screen is shaking : their input is to much to show up so what happens the display start lagging so that could be a way to determent whether the player is using them or not ! they can test out the fastest flic ( movement wile aiming and hip-fire  ) and determent the max numbers as well as the buttons input .

    Fortnite has tried using an algorithm just like you suggested and banned many people using fast sensitivities on controller. There were too many false positives and they rolled it back. Blizzard, Ubisoft, and Epic have all tried solutions and have all failed. You can keep coming with ideas but I assure you that the devs have tried them all for our current generation. XIM patches their software in 24 hours and have bypassed every attempt at detecting unauthorized use of mouse and keyboard. 

    You may think it's super easy but it really is not.

    i know but what about contacting sony and michrosoft , i think that Xim uses controllers singles to fake the mouse and keyboard one with it ! 
    that is because the cable that is connecting the controllers to the ps4 or xbox is not just a charching cable.it transfers signals during the process , so if they make so that is is just a cable those adapters won't have a way to fake their singles .
    i hope i made myself clear and my answer was satisfying 

    and if they think of an authentication way maybe displaying a serie of button on screen and asking users to press them easy enough and so reliable

    While I agree with you that they might not be able to do anything about it, they stated a few weeks ago that they are aware of mouse and keyboard use on consoles and they do not approve of it. They would like to find a way to prevent it.

    just suggested a perfect way to counter them why would consoles need to exchange  signal with controllers ! and by removing that transfer of information in between there will be no way for those adapter to transfer their signal (because the way those adapters inject mouse and keyboard signal is by plugging in the controller and faking the m&k signal into the controller's ) 😉 
    hope i made myself clear
