Re: mouse ps4 cheat

Damn this seems like a back and forth of people purposely misunderstanding one another. Two facts. Respawn didn't 'voluntarily' remove a mouse and keyboard tab. I don't think any PS4 games are intended to have native mouse and keyboard support beside maybe Final Fantasy XIV which is a cross platform MMO. Apex Legends is not cross platform so Sony probably wouldn't have had any good reason to permit it to begin with.

The other fact is that using mouse and keyboard against controller users is an indisputable advantage in shooters. Whether it fits your definition of cheating or not it will only offer the same kind of pride as outscoring a 5 year old in a maths test. It will shrink (or grow?) your epeen to the size of a peanut. If you want to play mouse and keyboard don't buy a console, join us on PC. The game costs nothing to install.

    Please tell me how it's an " indisputable " advantage. If both items are capped at the same limit, the in game cursor doesn't move quicker on one over the other, it becomes an issue of preference. If you're good with a controller there's nothing a mouse user can do to get an advantage over you other than who has the high ground, positioning.

    If you were an experienced mouse and keyboard user or esport viewer you would know. Even console games have sensitivity settings and a mouse can obviously allow you to take advantage of higher settings without losing the finer aim of a lower setting. I'm checking youtube right now and it's as clear as day to me. What is not to get?

    if you were an experienced mouse and keyboard user and you used the emulators you would know instantly it's no where close to the speed and accuracy of native support. it would still be better than using a controller for most people used to using a mouse and keyboard but to say it's such a huge advantage over a controller to be unfair just isn't true. an emulator user would be at the same disadvantage a controller user would be going up against native support. they are bound to the same limitations. 

  • This makes me think about people who watch stuffs using Bittorrent or illegal streaming websites. People using them have all sort of arguments to justify themselves when in fact it's pure an simple theft...

    What do you mean? Sorry, English isn't my native language. I thought theft and stealing were the same thing.

  • you are changing the topic to stealing. 

    mouse and keyboard is not stealing. it's not cheating either. there is no moral or ethical dispute. it's just a controller. an objectively better controller. that's it. it doesn't steal anything or cheat any one. 

  • Sorry Mr Salty but it is cheating. M&K have a speed and accuracy that duel-shock cannot match. It seems to me these M&K users are terrible players on P.C so need the advantage on other users on console. It ruins games, go play on P.C. or hopefully soon all console players will have the ability to match with only duelshock controllers and block K&M players.
