Keyboard and mouse on consoles
Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?
Forum Discussion
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.

- M&K support for FPS games is becoming a standard nowadays. A lot of games have implemented it with great success and battlefield is slow to the party. This support genuinely helps a lot of people if done right.
I'm literally moving around the map and letting aim assist get me the kills and it doesn't feel engaging to me. Turning off aim assist would make me look stupid in a lobby where it's in abundance. And I'm not here to blame aim assist.. controllers need it. But it just isn't very engaging or rewarding to get kills personally.
Why not just allow it temporarily and then see the results? Disable it while you study the results. What better investigation is possible than to allow players to get hands on with it and get live data? Keyboard already works so it's just the mouse. If it breaks the game then fine, turn it off. But take the chance please. @EA_Atic @EA_DarkoWhen you opt in for Cross play, it matchmakes with the PC players where you get shot like anything with the MKB advantage. If you opt-out of the Crossplay, you literally play with AI all the time.
What's the point in playing this game then ? Is this what you call Fairplay ? Common EA please let M&K on consoles
@balaji5789 I've merged your topic in to the thread we already have about mouse and keyboard support.

If that breaks the game... Than the game is probably bad.
Will there be mouse and keyboard support on the xbox for the battlefiled 2042 game?
Could we also get Gyro Motion aiming similar to what XIM is doing with the new XIM Nexus controller? I know the Ps5 has motion Gyro's built in and its up to developers to utilize this feature. I see no reason why its not possible.
- @EA_Darko Plaese support M&K，Using the Gamepad to fight against the PC is a disaster，Unable to shoot accurately and inflexible，Handling vehicles is also a big problem
Why devs don't give more option for people who want to play in crossplay lobby. Controller is very difficult for many players to use. Controller is good for game like rocket league but it is not good for fps. Please allow me to choose input to what I want only in a crossplay lobby for consoles.
Totally agreed, hope this feature will be implemented on November 30 updates. There is no hope on Day 1, lets count on Quality of Life update.
It's a shame to fight for this feature on a next-gen title, especially a big company, xd
- @EA_Darko Battlefield and COD have always been the two most dazzling stars in FPS games, but COD has three generations of games, and four works (WM CW Vanguard MZ) support keyboard and mouse. This proves that keyboard and mouse are the trend and correct, but why is Battlefield not To imitate COD to do it, it will be very effective
I'm a controller player and do fine with it. I support M&K functionality on consoles as long as EA and DICE address toggling crossplay first. Right now XBOX players are forced to play with PC players. Give us the option to play with console only and put M&K players in their own lobbies, just like COD. PUBG did it too (xbox vs PS only). Come on DICE it can't be that hard.
@EA_Atic I saw you responding in a thread 30 seconds ago where you are tagged…Can you please respond here for a moment at least ??
Here’s a thread where 1000+ posts with people asking for an update…Am unable to understand why everyone from your team is completely ignoring this ??
- @balaji5789 I don't get it.. frustrating.
Hello sir
i was wondering when your going to add m&k support for ps5?
Its been so long that i dont care about M&K support, there is almost no people playing on XSX and portal is just a dead body.
Thank you DICE, for your support, your decissions and game design.
I think all of this is intencinated to force people to play BFV 😃
- @EA_Darko Why can't you just reply about the post content? What about this request? How difficult is to implement this on consoles?
Do what you want on next gen consoles but no ty on kbm on current gen
Lets be real here. I wanted mouse and keyboard support so badly. The game is dead. It took them 3 months (since the holidays) to implement a scoreboard with little fixes along the side. The core game is still super broken in many parts. Even if they wanted to add mouse and keyboard support, it would take them probably 6 months or more Even with the change of management, that game can't be revived. Hope they'll do the bare minimum and provide ultimate customers that one year of battle pass but then concentrate on a new game. One that works and has 2022/2023 core features. Scoreboard, VoIP, mouse and keyboard support on consoles and so on, you know ...
I know it can take a bit longer. The problem is the lack of information. I think dev team can just say "Yes. It's on the roadmap" but nobody comes here.
It isn't a superfluous request, the gameplay for consoles vs PC is very unbalanced without an option to use MK.
@EA_Darko , @EA_Atic What is your job as a community manager? Why just can't you say "ok, I'll try to bring this discussion to some developer squad or some game designer", either a "no way, it will never change" answer should be better than nothing.
Do you see the questions ,the entire discussion and just reply to keep calm and maintain the conversation with civil words? This is a topic with 1300+ replies. Why do we stay invisible for EA? Did we pay less for our console version of the game? Are we not prioritized in the decision-making inside EA? Why can players on a PC use a controller and consoles use a mouse and keyboard? What do we need to do to be VISIBLE for EA? I'm sick of it!- @ramonflmr DICE would rather just ignore the community than deliver what they know to be bad news.
Per Lossy on YT, they were asked about server browser during the content creator preview and they had the same noncommittal "we're looking into it and thinking about it but have nothing to say" response as always.
But the "we don't have anything to say atm" noncommittal response seemed to be their line for literally any and every question about the future of the game. Because it seems clear DICE is re-evaluating the future to find out how little content and support they can get away with while focusing on the next BF game.
