Keyboard and mouse on consoles
Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?
Forum Discussion
@ninjapenquinuk It's not 'nonsense' when they are not supported and that is BEFORE we get to macros etc.
@Z3nMestar1 and if crossplay isn't there or at least, not enforced?
Would you advocate M&KB players being identifiable so that controller users can see if they have been beaten by better players or an advantageous input device?

@Trokey66 if they arent supported then that is a different kettle of fish, but surely they will be on PS5/XX. This is 2021. Again, IF, they are supported then people have a choice. If M&K is so superior and you have the option to plug in a M&K, why would you opt not too, or would you just be a puritan and stick to a controller come what may? I personally prefer a controller for the CQ stuff, as it certainly wasnt my strong point back in my PC days (some would say it still isnt!!), however i feel a M&K is certainly better for mid/long range engagements.
- @ninjapenquinuk Arguably I, and many others, could be described as Puritans in regards to controller use on console, not a bad thing just a different point of view.
It is DICE's hands and they will have to deal with any fall out. - @Trokey66 Im actually more interested in M&K support being 'normal' on the PS5 in the hope that it will mean more strategy type games appearing on console - Civ / Total War type games, than massively bothered about the continued use of controllers in FPS games.
- @ninjapenquinuk not an unreasonable request really, I just don't like their use in FPSs because of the advantages they bring over controller.
I would have zero issue in their use in the type of games you talk of as there is no real advantage gained over other players. SO....any news about m/k support on consoles?
I've just seen some christmas skins in update #3 and i can tell BF2042 is getting a new direction with the franchise.
I guess EA want to compete with FORTNITE since that game is so successful and all that matter for the garbage people from EA are money.
Already requested refunds on ULTIMATE EDITION PS5 .
F.A.C.K.K Y.OU EA !
If its 2021 (which it isn't) then the mouse for games should be left behind. The mouse and keyboard is actually older than the commercial game controller my boy. Its literally a crutch to make aiming easier for less skilled players.

This is especially amusing coming from Mr. "I want autoturrets in the game."
I've merged another thread about this topic with this one.

You really, truly, cannot let it go, and for some reason have a 'console/controller master race' opinion stating people that use a controller are 'more skilled' for some reason because you choose a different input device which is just inferior for first-person shooters in many cases. And that apparently most people on PC are cheaters/hackers/"modders" (then you remind us that you have a 3090 for some reason). I find it absolutely hilarious the level of trolling you do stating the same thing in almost every one of your posts on these boards.
Kind of like people who use chopsticks to show off their skills to fork users?
- @OskooI_007
LOL -- that made me laugh. Thanks for that.
But still, being proficient with BOTH (fork and chopsticks that is -- not M/K and controllers, as with the latter I can barely move around properly, let alone aim and shoot) I must say that chopsticks ARE superior to knife/fork/spoon for some kind of food. Try a big bowl or Ramen with fork/spoon and you know what I am talking about.
But yes, for shooters there is no doubt that the better and more precise input is M/K -- otherwise our troll has to explain why there is aim ASSIST for controllers at all. If those devices were superior, why should anyone ask for 'assistance' for using them? - @DuaneDibbley Agreed! I will gladly play a fighting, racing, or platformer game with a controller. But if I need accuracy I'm tying a hand behind my back using a controller. Just because you _can_ do it, doesn't make it the "best" method. Maybe that all comes from people who think that the pinnacle of an FPS is Halo or something.
I'm not saying look at sites that might track stats; I'm just saying that if you do, it will amuse.
Still waiting if EA has anything to say regarding this...
Has anyone heard anything ? Un-f*****g-believable EA/Dice..
