Mouse and keyboard on console

So when do you think we will get mouse and keyboard on console? Due to the fact cross-play is a thing i think its fair to say it ahould be implemented.

  • @perrrrrry No idea if it's something they will add in the future. I have not read or heard any mentions of it in of the Dev streams.

    I would be semi supportive of it so long as they put mouse and keyboard players into separate lobbies and disabled aim assist for them. I know a lot of gamers who can not afford a decent gaming PC. But they want to play in PC lobbies and be competitive. They have 0 intention of cheating with the system or using it to gain an advantage.

    @DarthValtrex Yeah that was my thinking behind it. I havent seen anything either but i think it would make sense for as you said people who cant afford or just dont have a PC, also for the competetive element.

    The fact as well that people are using adapters to be able to use them on console to gain an unfair advantage can ruin it sometimes. I know they try to catch these players but people will fall through the cracks in fact yesterday i was in a lobby and killed by a clearly obviouse M and K player.

    I think it just makes sense to do it sooner rather than later.

    @perrrrrry Honestly the way the settings are set up right now running a Mouse and Keyboard on console just does not work. Some people might find a way to do it. But very few do..

    @perrrrrry Heh considering thousands including some the biggest streamers in the world use it I'm sure your safe. Xim at this time is not a bannable 3rd party device.

    @E9ine_ACThere is one streamer I won't name that is very suspect. He plays exclusively on PS. If you watch him, specifically when he is looting.. He loots as though he is using mouse and keyboard it's very unusual to say the least.

    But it could just be odd looting behavior by him. He might also be mixing in PC now and I'm not aware of it.

    @DarthValtrex He most likely is. I know of a big console streamer who uses mouse and keyboard on console. I will say he at times plays with Kobi. I will not name out who flat out but do know it works same exact way it does on pc just reversed. which is why you seen my post.

    You know the one that's 19 pages long and over 160 comments about this very third party application. Without single staff commenting on if its a bannable offense. So by default I assume no or they would lay down guidelines but we do not see this. Xim away people Xim away.

    @E9ine_AC I don't see nearly as much of it as I do strike packs with macros/mods. I see those almost every round. It's funny when you kill them.. Those are the few players I teabag excessively when I do eliminate them. I'm sitting there thinking, you cheat and still die?!

    @DarthValtrex What is more funny is when you slay a big guy. Go to his stream to see him yell that pos is cheating. Why because you just got owned by a non modded player against your cheating mods? Must suck to suck.
