Mouse and keyboard support for console

Is mouse and keyboard support ever going to be available for console on apex legends or any of origins/ea's consoles games?

@loicjebril You have that choice when you purchase your gaming platform. If you want to play with Mouse and Keyboard buy a computer... It's really that simple. Don't ruin console for those who want to use them the way they were intended.

@DarthValtrex Guess what, you can plug a k/m straight into a PS4 and a Xbox One with some of the latest games like COD. And the next generation consoles also. So your right, k/m work with PS4 and the Xbox without even using a emulator now. So play with a k/m on a console now as it was supposed intended. This argument is old, boring, and ridiculous to have anymore. Have fun, play as you want, with whatever you want, because I know I will. Later.

    @LtHitlis Play with what I want and as I want? Should we start allowing aimbots? Wall hacks and just about every other cheat? I mean using your logic we should, if that's how some people have fun?!

    If I have to go buy a mouse and keyboard to play this game in the future, I'll just stop playing.. If I wanted to play without a controller I would have bought a gaming PC and sat at a desk.

    It is comical to me, because you've admitted that you need the accuracy of a m/k.. You won't admit it but you need it to gain an edge over those on console. Why else would you want to play with a m/k on console?! If you really wanted to play with a m/k you'd just game on PC, but doing so would not give you any edge so you don't.. You just come here and complain and cry about wanting it on console...

      @DarthValtrex Your argument is comical and absurd. Aim-bits, hacks, and cheats are against PS4 and Xbox terms of service and considered a serious violation. Controller emulators are NOT. Trust me the XIM has been around since the original Xbox. Both PS and Xbox are aware of them and has chosen to not list them as a violation. Plus look at the new generation of games and the direction they are going in. Fortnite and COD are BOTH cross-platform and share input device lobbies. So guess what direction the new PS5 and Xbox are going! Again, have fun with whatever you choose and if your not having fun, quit. The player base won’t miss one more. There is a reason Warzone hit 30 million in such a short time. There are plenty more and adding everyday!

        Yes and look at the drama with KB/M versus Controller from fortnite. If they do allow KB/M on console then arguments will come about that they forgot to make sure kb/m doesnt get aim assist just as an example. Warzone is popular since it is a BR and its something new with popular streamers playing it. It will go down once the new cod comes out while fortnite still pulling views. There's a lot of possibilities when adding stuff like this,if you want to play like a pc its best to buy/build your own pc.Also why fortnite is splitting pc and console in tournaments as well.
