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 ...
Forum Discussion
@Popa2caps I realised that you also voted for mouse and keyboard on console, but aren't you also suggesting that on PC controllers have too strong of a aim assist? Since it is 0.2 stronger on console than PC, then wouldn't you also be asking for a nerf on controller then? See the predicament buddy? It just wouldn't work out if it is added as a feature.
@MoNosDirtyGaming
i would love the below to become common in video games.
Aim assist on both PC / Consoles be reduced and/ or removed.
It's really not that hard to aim without it. If a game has fine controls, Apex Legends is close (advanced menu), you can do wonders. I would just setlle for no aim assist lobbies as well.. Because I've played on PC with both a controller and mouse. So I know what it's like not having someone always aim assist you in the back.
Moving to consoles though, I know what it feels like now. Everyone just has master aim, it shouldn't be that. You should need to try in a shooter.
Mouse & keyboard support native on consoles.
That way people think to use that over just using 3rd party device like cronusmax etc. Also, If aim assist is not removed, it shouldn't work on players who have it disabled. Example, If a controller player has aim assist disabled in the advanced menu, another controller player with it enabled shouldn't be able to get aim slowdown, and turn on that said person.
I expect Respawn to add naive mouse and keyboard support soon. They follow everything from COD Warzone. Expect it around the crossplay time.
- @Popa2caps I doubt it will be added, your suggestions just wont work, every game has aim assist on console, the controller just doesn't feel right without it. Especially 6 seasons in.
Console did have keyboard support when it first released but they removed it as they knew it was unfair.
I personally think a decision like that would kill the game. The only players that benefit would be M&K players."every game has aim assist on console"
Wrong!
Rainbow six siege and Players Unknown Battlegrounds has no aim assist in the multiplayer in player verse player.
"Console did have keyboard support when it first released but they removed it as they knew it was unfair" I don't remember at any point Apex legends had mouse & keyboard support on consoles.
I couldn't find anything talking about Apex having mouse & keyboard support, ever. You thinking about when #Respawn talked about how they don't support the 3rd party devices like cronusmax because it allows users to use scripts?
Also, please trust me. Apex Legends will get mouse & keyboard support i'm sure of it. The rule for online F2P is you follow the biggest titles on the market no matter your personal opinion.
When your competition has mouse & keyboard support, you add it, no questions asked. Like I said before, I have no worries about people using mouse & keyboard.
At the end of the day it comes down to making Apex grow. So you shoudln't ever see aim assist ever get messed with, as it will hurt the casuals. Apex Legends is EA's cash cow, like FIFA was.
I expect Apex Legends to get mouse & keybaord support when crossplay gets added (around Nov 10 and/ or COD Block Ops release date). I also see #Respawn adding more ways to respawn.Rainbow six siege doesn't no, but pubg does on mobile.

See attachment for M&K support via third party apps before Respawn tried their best to patch it after realising it was apart of native and players were taking advantage on PS4 by using third party apps so they weren't detected here.
This is Respawns official stance on M&K on consoles:
MOUSE & KEYBOARD USE ON CONSOLES
Our stance on this? The short answer is: we don't condone it. We are investigating ways to detect if players are doing it that we're testing internally. That's all we have to say on it for now but we'll revisit this and talk about progress with detection and how we'll address players that are using it in the near future.
And judging by Respawn banning players using M&K; I highly doubt they would decide to add support for M&K now. It would mean having to unban everyone who ever used a M&K.
Where are you getting your dates for M&K support from nothing other than guesstimating? A more accurate guesstimation date would be the 20th when the PS5 is released around the world, but, you know just as well as me all we got was "Coming in Fall".
The rule for online F2P is you follow the biggest titles on the market no matter your personal opinion
This isn't true, Apex went the complete other direction and they're doing well, they only started to copy Fortnites/Warzones after their ideas were stolen first, yet they still have unique ideas dropping every update. The first rule in business is to have a USP. Copying other F2P titles does nothing than make a clone, gives you no USP and makes you look like every other BR on the market. Above all, the game must also be fun else it will fail in all regards. Look at the battlefield that failed, it had so much promise, yet the lack updates and no USP in site destroyed it, despite being fun to play.
