Is keyboard and mouse still bannable with cross play enabled with the ps4?

I was thinking of trying to figure out a way to configure it but before I spent the time I was curious as to if it is still a bankable offense on console since now with play with p.c. anyway.

It was never a bannable offence as far as I know.
It's always been a grey area but from what I know no one has been banned because they used M&K.

    It's been a gray area for a long time.
    I cannot confirm anything but from what I know they didn't want people using it on console but from what I know it's fine I guess.

    Been here from week one and never seen someone complain here about getting banned because he used a mouse and keyboard.
    They also never made a statement about this if it's allowed or not. I just say it's at own risk because I cannot confirm anything. 😳

      I think the solution is very simple just add one line to the terms and conditions that any use of third-party apps and/or devices are not allowed and monitoring is very simple, they can just look for repetitive input signals.
      like if a player is using MNK on console then some of the input signals will be missing as this player will be able to move only in four directions, not the same as using a controller that allows for circular movement ( you know what I mean)

    @maximas1986 In theory it is not cheating in terms how they view a cheat. It is a 3rd party application to the system they use to convert controller to mouse and keyboard. Same as Xim for Pc. They don't do nothing about people removing their recoil because their modded item allows it. Just like they allow strike packs they allow many things that should be a bannable offense.

      @E9ine_AC 

      Yes, that is my understanding. 🤔

      The problem is they use a converter with a mouse.

      Basically, they look like they are using controller (strong aim assist with M/K).

        @Sati_Sati Yup they do same thing with Xim on Pc. Masks the pc into thinking the controller is main source of machine and allows aim assist on mouse and keyboard.
