Keyboard and mouse on consoles
Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?
Forum Discussion
It won't be supported at launch, but they'll still work on it to make it available.
See below the official Infos regarding this topic:
"We’ve heard your questions about mouse and keyboard support for consoles. We can confirm that we won’t be supporting this on consoles at the launch of Battlefield 2042, but we are still investigating the various options about making that available, and how it may impact cross-play. If that ever changes, you’ll hear it from us first."
So it's not entirely sure that it won't come at all!

Please enable mouse and keyboard support in consoles.
This is a staple in other crossplay FPS games and should be for BF2042 as well.
I understand the MnK vs Controller discussion, but in a game that has crossplay at its root, where you certainly will meet MnK as well as controller players in the game, it really shouldn't matter which input a player chooses to use on console.
Especially when PC players have the choice to use MnK or controller, but console players are limited to using a controller.
If the match will have MnK players mixed with controller players anyway, why would it be an issue which platform they're using? Why would it be an issue for console players to use MnK?
And if you believe that console players being able to use MnK would create an imbalance in non-crossplay lobbies (for players who choose to disable crossplay), which would be a fair concern, then please make it so that:
1 - If you play on console with crossplay on, you should be able to choose your input (it really doesn't affect other players because it will be a mixed input lobby regardless).
2 - If you play on console with crossplay off, then the game disables MnK support and you would be limited to using a controller, to make it a level playing field for everyone in the non-crossplay lobby.
If MnK is not allowed despite there is crossplay against PC players, then LOTS OF PEOPLE will definitely not buy the game since MOST OF PLAYERS use consoles.
