MOUSE AND KEYBOARD FOR CONSOLE/CROSSPLAY

I wish EA would add M&K support for consoles when crossplay finally comes out. Console players should not have to invite a PC player on their squad just to turn on crossplay. Console players should ...

I'd vote for mouse & keyboard on consoles. I'm not sure why Respawn keeps taking every idea from COD, but not the ones that make COD so much better. If some don't know, COD fully supports mouse & keyboard on both consoles already, plug in your device and good to go.

Also, don't let others confuse you. Mouse & keyboard is not OP over a controller. There are pros to both devices, but mouse & keybaord will takes years to learn them. Most people worried about mouse & keybaord don't know what the hell their talking about.

@Popa2capsExactly! Finally someone who understands. I hope Respawn and EA would see this and consider the idea.

I also play M&K in COD simply because crossplay is automatically turned on and I prefer M&K on FPS games. But on other genres like open-world exploration or RPG then controller is my preferred input.

Again, I just want options to be put out in APEX so everybody can play games however they want regardless of their platform. You shouldn't have to buy a PC and a console just to play M&K or controller, depending on what you feel like playing with.

Yeah, I see mouse & keyboard for what they are, not what people see in top 10 videos used by people for 10 plus years. I know people do not pick up the device and just become masters of gaming. I also know that controllers without aim assist still are good and/ or bad in the right and wrong hands. That is what people forget. It's the person behind the product, not the product doing the work.

I've also tested mouse & keyboard on PC at 120+ FPS. It's smooth, but takes sometime to learn. Nothing competes currently with how easy it is to use a controller on Apex with aim assist. It's mostly why all major streamers don't play Apex, unless EA pays them. It takes shroud $100k to play Apex now from EA right?

So if Apex did get muse & keyboard it wouldn't hurt the community, not a single bit. The thing hurting Apex is the lacking updates with lore and story and not make game play changes. To the people who are worried about mouse & keyboard, you're wasting your time.

WASD is so bad at movement it's crazy.
