Can Respawn please add keyboard and mouse to console because all my friends play on Xbox and I’m better on keyboard and mouse but we can’t play together. Right now I have to play controller on Xbox to play with my friends. They are all better than me, but if you put keyboard and mouse onto Xbox, it may let me carry my friends instead of the other way around. If you cannot do this please add cross platform because that would help. Respawn should make cross platform available first before even going into this topic. I am not hating on Respawn because they have made a wonderful game but I can’t show my full skill to my friends because of this road block. Thank you for your time.

@NOSWOHLWell you can learn to play with a controller or they can learn PC. microsoft has done studies putting the BEST controller players against average Mouse and Keyboard players. It was not even remotely close, the controller players got slaughtered every time.You’ll ruin console for controller players. BFV has decent Mouse and Keyboard support, it’s been a disaster on monumental proportions. To the point that I deleted it from my xbox.Unless they give heavy assistance to controller players this would not be a good idea. It will ruin the game for controller players who don’t want to sit at a desk to game.even with heavy assistance i don’t know if it would be enjoyable. What fun is playing a game that does all the work for you?I have heard rumors of crossplay coming so you might be able to game with them soon.

@DarthValtrex I know this seems unfair which is why they should continue to focus on bringing cross platform. Once cross platform is out, the keyboard and mouse players on xbox should be put into servers with pc players and when they join there friends, a mix of both.

Does this not seem like a solution?

@NOSWOHL I do believe there is discussion about cross platform. I’m not entirely against it. I just don’t want to get slaughtered by PC players because they have an advantage. I also don’t want to deal with the cheaters who are on PC. If it’s competitive for us all and I don’t have to deal with cheating I’m all for it.

It would only be cross platform if you played with some one who was on another platform because if it was a free-for-all in platforms, apex would lose a good chunk of the Xbox community.

As soon as this is implemented I'm deleting the game. No hesitation. And that's it.
I've already stopped buying Apex Coins, i won't be investing any money into a game that is going to be made redundant to me.
You're gonna end up just only the pc players playing on console servers and lose most console players.

@1ronKeys If they give us a separate PUB option. I’d be down.

i feel like they need to completely REMOVE that weird "aim assist" before adding crossplay/KB+M mixture
but this wont happen
do you want more skins and charms though!??
THEY CAN CERTAINLY GIVE US MORE OF THOSE AND CRAZY PRICES!

Yeah but hardly anyone would make switch so you'll be waiting 10 minutes for a game on a server in a different continent lagging the hell out.
People were against map selection due to the idea of splittiing playerbase.
I like the idea of crossplay but not the reality of it.

I play wth a controller on pc and Xbox. I really don’t see much difference. I am definitely not being destroyed by average mouse users.
