Keyboard and mouse on consoles
Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?
Forum Discussion
@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
Thx @beaneeweneez ,
Reason why we are many that do not want M&K enabled for the BF gameplay on the PS5 console!
Certainly NOT if placed into the same lobby as us playing with the standard PS5 controller.
- @CyberDyme The "many" of you seems to be quite a few... You're the only user with "experience" in this forum that has actually stated that does not want MnK. The rest are jost trolls IMO (and are not more than 5 or 6 in the 9xx pages of this topic).
And with your statement I just see that you don't want a fair experience at all. (not an aggression, just an observation =) ). There are more than 10k petitions to enable the support vs you and few other that does not want it.
Fair game is the ability to choose whatever input of your own choice, and if you don't like it the solution it's pretty simple, as many others has stated, just don't use it. But don't MAKE the assumption that everyone is wrong and you're not just because you think it don't belong, when the truth is that it DOES. Many other titles has it and nobody is complaining about it.
If you are a PC player that would be a very unfair thing though.
