Keyboard and mouse on consoles
Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?
Forum Discussion
If anyone has cared to read the Microsoft Xbox software tos or they conveniently forget about it……it’s against the software tos to use any unofficial peripherals and has been for years!
As to it being enforced is another thing but it’s there in black and white.
No idea why you would want to play against pc players because in my first 2 games of battlefield 1 today both games were rife with cheaters…… be careful with what you wish for!

Well that's to say, Xbox don't want you to use a knock off controller of theirs. But that's what people do, and if there's no way or inability to enforce it they're going to use it.
In addition, EA or DICE, has not made any statement thereof, that Xim or Cronus is forbidden on their games, or put out a patch or update to make that so.
And so look, what i'm trying to do is get a statement from EA that k&m is not allowed on their games as per Xim or Cronus.
And if that statement is not forthcoming, you can use it.
If Xbox or EA has an enforcement mechanism to assure these devices cannot be used, or render them useless or inoperable, i'm sure an update could zap them.

Dice or ea have absolutely no say as to what peripherals can be used.
Its either official controller or official kb/m
Thats part of the tcr dice has to adhere to if they want to produce games for sale on the Xbox platform.

Ok, and being they have no way to prevent it, and have to divert to Xbox, and Xbox with no way to divert as much as they cant divert a knock off cheap controller, you can use the devices.
I mean, have you heard of anyone being banned on BF for using a k&m or Xim?
If we can see some examples, that may prevent people from using them. But if not, it's all systems go. By all means use it but don’t be on here complaining if or when Microsoft decides you can no longer use them!
There can be no complaints because it’s been in the tos for years
Sony has already started to fight back against these adaptors https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/pjuvcr/mnk_has_been_banned_on_ps5_massive_w_for_the/

Well that's the whole point. When they say or make it that you can't use it, then you cannot. But atp, you can use them.
Like you can use an HD not licensed by Xbox, or a controller, or many things. like I said feel free to use it but don’t say you wasn’t warned

Great. That's what i'm trying to say. When they make them inoperable, they won't use them.
On that game and system they may have. On this game they may not. Until they do, i'm sure folks will use them.EDIT- That seems to be a matter of Sony's 'Dualsense" not being compatible. Not that it was banned per se by R6 or Sony.
People still use them with games that have native kb/m because you still retain aim assist and that’s why Sony have gave devs the tools to stop it.
From what I can gather sony updated it’s software tos and I bet they updated their tcr so devs have to use the tools to stop these devices if you want to make games for the system
- @emerson1975
Xim has to update it in so it's compatible with the Dual Sense mechanism, which they likely will.
Cronus had a problem with PS4 cutting out, until they came out with a bridge port to solve it. Ps5 requires a handshake with a ps5 dual sense controller so I presume there’s some encryption so no update is fixing it and even if they do somehow crack the encryption Sony will absolutely take them to town in the courts in regards to xim
- @emerson1975
Like i said, it's not Sony, but Xim will have to update, if they did not already, and they may have.
It's not about court fights, its what happens to these devices when new systems come into play.
For Sony to have done what you imply, could render other matters, that Sony may even endorse to be rendered useless. So, my guess is that's its a Xim issue. XIM works with Sony's remote play app on ps5.
- @emerson1975 That's amazing to see honestly, and I just have to say way to go to Sony/PlayStation they know what they're doing.
