some people cant afford a pc and only have a console to play on. i wish that they could make it so when you plug in mouse and keyboard that you will be put against other mouse and keyboard players.
300 dollars for a PC. I'm assuming that's in the land of the free and the home of the brave and not Australia where I am. You might get a stick of ram for 300 bucks here. Made in china, broken in Perth, scamming you with it on Gumtree.
It costs alot to get a pc and people can only just afford an xbox we dont all have the money to just throw about n get what we want just cause ur a spoilt brat or u can work
I'm just going to sit here quietly and point at the random team that won rounds at the x games tournament with controllers against other teams that had KBM.
Another example... streamer nicewigg
I completely agree
Do you know how much money it is to get a pc that can run Apex at good FPS?

I think people that play with mouse and keyboard should be banned from PS4. Those people have huge advantage - everyone should have equal chances. If You want to use mouse and keyboard, then go play on PC.

Absolute minimum budget?
I'd go with an ex-business machine, bought from a PC recycler.
Target spec. should be something like a ~3.5GHz quad core 3rd or 4th gen i5, i7, or xeon.
They'll typically come with 16GB ddr3 1600, 350W PSU, and a modest hard drive.
Make sure you go for one with a full height case though; half-height will restrict your GPU options & end up costing you more money.
Ideally you'll also want it to have a proper ATX PSU & motherboard, not bespoke setups from the likes of Dell, Fujitsu, or others.
As a base, that'll typically set you back around £80-100 (though I've seen them go as low as £30)
Stick in a 2nd-hand 1060 3GB, or RX 570 4GB bought from ebay for circa £80.
For a huge performance uplift in day-to-day usage I'd also put in a 240GB SSD boot drive; for £20 it's a no-brainer.
Total outlay; ~£130-200.
I'm obviously not including peripherals like a gaming monitor, headphones, keyboard, mouse, etc.
It won't be a perfect gaming experience, but at min detail it'll get you more frames than an xbox one, at proper 1080p.
More importantly you won't be playing at a crippling field of view, or having to use a ham-fisted controller.
If you're willing to opt for 2nd-hand hardware, PC gaming can be significantly cheaper than console; especially when you factor in the lower cost of actually buying the games.
I think the amount of people angry and kbm users is hilarious when really they're playing against people with snuff controllers, paddles, and thumbsticks.
