Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?

>> It won't be supported at launch, but they still investigating the options they have to make it available. See official statement below regarding this topic: "We’ve heard your questions about mouse and keyboard support for consoles. We can confirm that we won’t be supporting this on consoles at the launch of Battlefield 2042, but we are still investigating the various options about making that available, and how it may impact cross-play. If that ever changes, you’ll hear it from us first." Read more here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-Announcements/Battlefield-s-Commitment-to-Positive-Play/td-p/10690725 Greets, Travis

@Asrach It won't be supported at launch, but they'll still work on it to make it available. Probably trying to create it in a balanced way to fit for everyone, since some casual players on a Console just don't like fighting others on the same platform using M&K. See below the official Infos regarding this topic: "We’ve heard your questions about mouse and keyboard support for consoles.

@Fartyxxx Thats all of us here 😋@Z3nMestar1 while I would love to hear something from the devs we are going to have to unfortunately wait till after the release of the game. I'm pretty sure the devs would be stressed with releasing the game in a proper state so even we are going to have to wait till their head is clear before we hear anything regarding M&K support. They have done a good job with the game so far and my only gripe is no M&K support. We will let them know for sure.

Crossplay is available so please allow native mouse and keyboard support too. Put us in different lobby with PC players. Playing FPS games with a controller is really hard for many people. having to fight against my controls really makes it hard to enjoy the game. Call of duty has it and nobody had problems. Please consider.

Hope so. I'd prefer native mouse on console but if there isnt ill just keep using Xim. Ideally Dice gets with the times and enable native mouse support on console.

Series X/S page on MS Store had "Console Keyboard & Mouse Support" tag for couple of hours so let's hope they work on it.

@BaronVonGoon Ideally they find a way to ban Xim users...

Lol we've had threads with thousands of replies about this. To each his own.
We've been using mouse on console for years and this isnt going to change. Ideally they enable native support because there's clearly a segment of console players who want this on console.
I can see someone hitting reply to say get a pc if you want to play with a mouse. Already did and sold it. I'm not buying a gaming pc (again) just so I could play Battlefield. Console has all the games I want AND shooters with unofficial mouse and keyboard support.
Just make it official like COD and get it over with because mouse users are not going away. We've been saying for years that official native mouse support on console is coming and it finally did on COD. Only a matter of time for the Battlefield franchise.

I don't use one of these devices myself, but I'm not naive, I know companies can't detect them. Don't fall victim to the scary tactics of companies saying they can, it's just smoke and mirrors.

The only way to fight these devices is to offer the same support natively.

lol players have been given full kb/m support in multiple games yet many still choose xim or other adapters for unscrupulous reasons….Even many pc players use these adaptors now with a joypad because of the benefits they bring
