Keyboard and mouse on consoles
Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?
Forum Discussion
It’s not even a competitive shooter with a ranking system or anything. I’ve always thought it should be an option on console. Aim Assist is so aggressive these days does it really matter?
You could use a xim, but that’s only making it harder for people who can’t afford that.
I'd prefer to not see KBM on console unless they overhaul the matchmaking rules.
I believe Apex Legends has the best solution.
Matchmaking pool A: Console controller users
Matchmaking pool B: Console KBM users, all PC players, console controller users partied with KBM/PC players.
- @AngrySquid270 In Apex you’ll stay in console only lobbies long as you don’t team up with a PC player. Once you squad up with a PC player you’ll get tossed into PC lobbies.
Does Apex have native MnK support? Keep in mind tons of people are using strike packs and xim devices on console.
I’m on PC and I get killed by console players all the time. Even when I get the drop on them, but I think that’s because of lag compensation or something. I don’t think it’s because they’re on console, but something is up with hit reg/net code. It really feels like if you have a good connection at times you’re the one getting screwed. I’m a pretty decent player too in my opinion.
My point is that playing a good player on controller or with a mouse will be challenging no matter what.
Keep in my mind controllers are great for people with accurate thumb muscles, but for a lot of people that’s not the case. Controller are kinda one size fit most hands. With a mouse I can get something that actually fits my personal hand size and shape.

I have nothing against KBM players (I played Battlefield using KBM for 10+ years) I just don't want to see controller players 'forced' to play against them.
@AngrySquid270Not conflating, but it is my experience that I get killed equally if not more by console players. Again, they have aim assist and it's not a competitive shooter.
Edit: You missed the top half of my quote btw. Those are some valid points as well.
