Keyboard and mouse on consoles
Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?
Forum Discussion
@BaronVonGoonAt this stage, Xim/Cronus/Titan do not work on PS5 version of games. They can't bypass the DualSense requirement (Sony requirement that all PS5-specific games must use DualSense controller) and the communication protocol can’t be cracked because all packets are encrypted and timestamped.
Will have to wait and see if K&M are native to console versions of BF2042. My guess is no for PS5.
@Lancelot_du_Lac A quick Google search reveals that a XIM Apex PS5 firmware update was released 8 months ago......
- @Trokey66 Had a deeper look at the Xim forums about this. The firmware update was only for 3rd party controllers, and only applies to PS4 games played on PS5. All new PS5 games require a DualSense controller.
To quote a MVP on the Xim forums:
"Cronus will have the same problem. No-one can bypass the DualSense requirement and the communication protocol can’t be cracked because all packets are encrypted and timestamped.
XIM APEX never fully supported PS5 and no new game support was promised...
We’ve been warning about this happening on PS5 for over a year. If you want next-gen game support for XIM, get an Xbox."
And from the Titan forums:
"… the DualSense's controller communication protocol with the PS5 console. It looks uncrackable due to encryption and timestamped packets. So a DualSense won't be spoofed, which is needed to launch PS5 games...
Call of Duty and Battlefield will both have "Trigger Effects Required", which means only a DualSense controller directly connected to the console will work."@Lancelot_du_LacFair shout, I didn't go into it that deep. Good news though......
Ea u need to do what ps5 done and ban this * from controllers on Xbox it’s unfair game play no recoil etc it’s a joke games been out a week and scripts being used already by low life’s that can’t learn a game. step up and and get rid off the scum and for mouse and keyboard on console get a life guys go play on pc if u want that * ur just poor and can’t afford a pc
@Lancelot_du_Lachey in call of duty cold war/vanguard have native support kb+m you don't need xim/cronus 🙂
Many use xim and chronus regardless of m/kb native support because they get the benefit of aim assist and mouse precision aiming.
Giving m/kb native support won’t stop xim users!
Games like destiny and borderlands 3 which have native PS5 versions work just fine with the 3rd party controllers method and xim apex.
Maybe they have some other requirements for those games.
