Please give us a Mouse and Keyboard only mode.

Hello,

I think mouse and keyboard players should have the option to not play with controller players. Controller setups have gotten so good that it's basically auto tab-targeting. I see players consistently one clip entire teams without taking their finger off the fire button with perfect tracking and not missing a single bullet even when transitioning to a new player. The only skill expression with controller is where you stand and when you use abilities now.  The game is no longer a shooter for controller players. I am not here to tell people how to play the game, I just think Mouse and Keyboard players should have their own space. I love Apex but it's pretty unplayable with mouse and keyboard against controller players. I have no interest in switching to controller because of the lack of skill expression. If I wanted to play a tab targeting game I would play wow.

Also, seeing all the "Pros" switch to controller and setting their monitors to stretch the perspective to double the width of players is really sad to see.

  • Unfortunately, these aren't controller players; they're mouse and keyboard players using artifacts to gain aim assist on the mouse and keyboard, or controller players using programs that increase aim assist—in other words... hackers.

    I thought so too and for awhile I was reporting them, but then I starting watching several different Pred level "Pros" on twitch and they were all doing these crazy tab targeting like tracking instantly switching to new players and their UI's all show controller inputs. I doubt all these big name streamers are cheating. Though I would not be surprised given the incentives.

    Yes, they're all cheating. There are controllers with anti-recoil features, and some professionals are using these custom controllers. A friend of mine bought one of these controllers to prove that their use should be prohibited.
