Hopefully, I've seen a couple posts about people wanting this too including me!
The playstation its self has k/m support the butthurt console players that think k/m is cheating or unfair should probably just learn how to use something other than a controller.
soon enough the controller players are just gonna have to learn they're using the wrong perifial. it works sure, but it's far from ideal. then they get all salty when others use the correct perifial. then they complain about how much better emulators are... all while describing the exact reasons they should not be using a controller for a shooter. emulators aren't even close to the raw input, high speed, and high precision native support on pc has and they act like they're up against pc players. when in reality the emulators perform exactly the same as any controller only it does not hinder the user thru the use of correct perfirals for the situation. it's gonna be a painful transition for some but they can't hold others back from using what they want for much longer. some would even say all the post in the world would not stop mouse and keyboard on consoles. first party support or otherwise
I have no problem with mouse and keyboard on PS4, but it has to be implemented and separated. I want to know when I play with people who use M&KB.
If there's a big enough "scene" for Apex Legends with M&KB on PS4, I'll be glad to join, but I don't think mixing both types of playstyle is a good idea.
A mouse might be great for FPS like Bioshock, Wolfenstein, etc., but I think it's pretty bad for Third Person Action games...
People who use XIM should be banned and the Xim Tech should be sued because if break Playstation's TOS and User Agreement:

good thing mouse and keyboard emulators don't circumvent security features or limitations of any device or software. otherwise they would be breaking tos
Sorry to inform you that the Xim does not break any TOS of Microsoft (Xbox) or Sony (PlayStation). They are very careful of this. It is the reason that the Xim is hooked up thru an actual controller. To make a long reason short it’s to guarantee that the keyboard and mouse movement goes thru the controller to guarantee that the movement created can’t exceed the controller movements. People say it’s to disguise the Xim but it’s to follow TOS rules actually. Plus the Xim software allows no scripts (multiple key sequences) to be programmed to one button. Another thing the Xim software could easily be programmed to do but Xim developers don’t allow it. It’s no different then a steering wheel being used on Forza. You quote the exact reason it’s not a violation in your own post where you say “......or limitations included on any software or devices.....”.Simply put, the Xim (Keyboard and mouse) can’t do anything a controller can’t! But it sure can do it a hell of a lot better. So nice try. Careful what you say or someone might say your liable.
