Keyboard and mouse on consoles
Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?
Forum Discussion
Why don't Console players just stay Console players (with a controller) and PC players stay PC players (with M&K) 😉
Both things are awesome. 🙌
If someone is already thinking of playing with M&K, why not just play on PC directly and buy the game for this platform if it feels more right to you. 🙂 (talking only for Battlefield/Shooters)
Anyways, if the Team says it won't be there just yet but they're still looking into this to try making it possible in a proper way. Then we just have to wait and see.

This is old plain nonsense.
We are in 2021, not year 2000 with PC vs Console war mentality.
My favorite platform is a 400€ PS5 and my favorite input is M&K. Period.
Also, why enabling cross-play if one platform can use only one input method and the other two?
I understand the whole concept of reunite the player-base, but you have to put effort in the unifying process or some will be favorite and some demotivated.
Just slap a ’cross-play enabler option’ on the game is not enough at all.
- @Trokey66 I mean if you want to play with a controller on a PC or a console you can and no one is stopping you.
wow, I was playing on my ps5 now and you know what most of my deaths were when they were gamers with a mouse and keyboard on pc 🙂)) where they got faster aiming and more accurately, it's a pity that I couldn't connect the mouse and keyboard on the ps5 console, it would make this game easier for me 🙂
- @ZjemCiKolege Keyboard works. It's just the mouse. Really frustrating when you know what's happening but your input doesn't let you react as quickly. Makes you feel sluggish and old. Lost interest in the game completely. Game looks solid and mechanics are good too. It's just a bad experience when I play with a controller.
Forcing crossplay on if a console user uses a M&K. That'll solve every balance issue that arises from this and that's all they had to do. Idk what more 'investigation' they need to do to see how it affects crossplay. Controller users are already playing vs M&K if they turn on crossplay so I really don't get what they are trying to do here. Why the devs dont add this support? We only go against other m&k users so what is the problem? We need more information about this.
@Trokey66 And everyone else is free to use what they want to use.
But I want to be free, too, to use what I want. And in a FPS game is obviously M&K.
By-the-way, the beta feels really good apart from some graphic glitches on vehicles and stutter visuals.
Aiming with a controller and get rekted by someone that can use M&K feels not good at all.
I totally agree that it makes no sense at all to not allow M&K support on next gen consoles.
If you have cross play enabled you'll play against M&K users anyway. It doesn't matter if the player killing you is using his M&K on a PC or on a PS5 / XBOX. So I don't understand the hate / doubts against M&K users on consoles.
As already suggested: Just turn off native M&K support on consoles when cross play is disabled.
In this way everybody get's what they want and everybody can enjoy the game in their own / preffered way.
I have really looked forward to Battlefield 2042 but without the native M&K support on PS5 I just won't buy it.
I have tried the Beta with a controller and it was a very frustrating experience. So paying at least 70,- EUR just to torture myself over weeks / months is not something I'm planning to do.
