Keyboard and mouse on consoles
Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?
Forum Discussion
@CyberDyme No kb&m support means more people will use cronus and infect controller lobbys.
@NoTimeToDecide absolutely not, it will only open up for one more additional channel for the cheaters to use.
The cheaters will try to cheat, no matter what you do. So limiting their options as much as possible is the way to go.
The cheats main revenue (and their development) is for m&k usage. Sad but reality.
The modded controllers is another matter.
And that is where Sony also has stopped those now with integrity check on the PS5 controllers, where only approved native controllers can work.
So its up to the game designers how they want to police the allowance of use of 3rd party components within their games.
- @CyberDyme I don't see how this affect controller users. As far as I've researched, adding M&K support does not mean Cronus or xim will now be compatible. Vanguard has native M&K support and xim/Cronus did not work on it so unless you have a proper source, I don't think it's valid.
Even if they two are related, you can already use XIM/Cronus on a PS5 game through remote play. The lobbies are already breached. Like you said, cheaters are going to cheat anyway so I don't think not having this support is going to stop them. If anything, adding M&K support will only reduce the number of people who buy an adapter.
You can already use a XIM/Cronus on new xbox consoles and a lot of console players still wanted crossplay between consoles only so it doesn't seem like adapters was a concern for them.
If the devs don't add M&K support, there will still be (and potentially more) adapter users and even if they bought it to play with a M&K they won't bother turning off aim assist or go to a crossplay lobby. However way you see it, the problem is there with or without this support so pinning this as a reason to not have M&K support is not right. All you are doing is ruining the plenty of people who get benefitted by this. People who prefer a M&K, people who have arthritis or can't hold a controller. - @CyberDyme if there is kb&m support, less people will buy cronus so they make less money. i dont think you can use hacking software for kb&m on console but even if you can, they will still be on crossplay lobby. controller lobbies wont have any problem from this.
- @CyberDyme A bit funny, because in the crossplay lobby you will still play with the pc mouse and keyboard vs controller it's nice if the chances are even and not limited to one type of control As DICE itself considers this title a crossplay type therefore, the basic functions must be added
- @NoTimeToDecide Still, if crossplay is disabled, a person with xim / cronus will cheat in the controllers lobby😉
Just look at who get upvoted here and who gets nothing! And there is your answer. 😀
Sorry for trying to look at the bigger picture of the problem we have with cheaters.
And for speaking up despite being in the nest of m&k bees...
Try and look at the many threads we have had in recent months on why a very substantial part of console players are absolutely against cross play with PCs. It is not because we do not like to play with our friends on PCs...
As I already posted above, if you wanting to use m&k on consoles could be forced to be in same lobby as the other m&k players on PC, then please go ahead!
Being in the same lobby as controller users on consoles without having the ability to filter you away. Absolute not.
And for those that are willing/eager to play all together no matter, then they can still do so.
Hope you agree to those principles.
- @CyberDyme That's what we've been saying since the beginning. The original post says that too. Console M&K users forced into crossplay lobbies and controller users are given a choice between crossplay lobbies to play with their friends (or if they are a masochist) or a controller only lobby. The framework is already there. All that's needed is a filter. So yeah, I agree to those principles.
I just want to make it clear to the devs who read this that there is no objection from anyone regarding adding M&K support on consoles as long as it is done right and doesn't muddy controller only lobbies (crossplay=off lobbies for xbox and ps).
