Keyboard and mouse on console/crossplay

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.

     @1ronKeys didn't PC players suggest aim assist was stronger on PC than consoles for controller players?

    It's also agreed that a PC is a more powerful platform to play a shooter on or do we disagree with that?

    @Zamaha400 It truly depends. I feel pc is more powerful than console but consoles do have good graphics for all around games no matter what because they were made for that.

    The thing is i don't  want to play with autoaim or aim assist.

    If they make the game aim assist may as well just go play GTA or Red Dead play with your eyes closed.

    @Mr_Mi5ch13f_2 Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard the top player used a controller on PC. I know those stats change day to day but I forget who it was weeks ago.
  • It would be fine if its implemented like warzone. You wouldn't see kb & m in your lobbies unless you have xplay enabled. But if you wanna throw your toys out the pram so be it.

    I would like that obviously put in PC lobbies so controller players don't cry (the ones that think using k&m = win when it doesn't), find using keyboard and mouse very immersive even though I'm way better using controller.

  • It will be input based you drongo, you won't be affected by this as you play with a controller. For example, if you were to plug in ur keyboard and mouse you will be thrown into pc lobbies only. How do ppl still not understand what or how input based matchmaking is. Fortnite have done it with no problems, its not an issue.

  • U cant be seriouse mouse and keyboard would be a good thing to support if u play with ur PC friends u have to give me that PLZ just make it's possible even if it is only when u play with pc players like someone or else it ain't gonna be fair

  • Exactly..  i am really bad at controller... and i only play fortnite because im able to play on keyboard and mouse... please Respawn bring keyboard and mousw to console.. if you do , you could maybe que the console keyboard input to pc lobbies.. that would just be fair.. please Respawn
