Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?

>> It won't be supported at launch, but they still investigating the options they have to make it available. See official statement below 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.

@Asrach It won't be supported at launch, but they'll still work on it to make it available. Probably trying to create it in a balanced way to fit for everyone, since some casual players on a Console just don't like fighting others on the same platform using M&K. 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.

@Fartyxxx Thats all of us here 😋@Z3nMestar1 while I would love to hear something from the devs we are going to have to unfortunately wait till after the release of the game. I'm pretty sure the devs would be stressed with releasing the game in a proper state so even we are going to have to wait till their head is clear before we hear anything regarding M&K support. They have done a good job with the game so far and my only gripe is no M&K support. We will let them know for sure.

Crossplay is available so please allow native mouse and keyboard support too. Put us in different lobby with PC players. Playing FPS games with a controller is really hard for many people. having to fight against my controls really makes it hard to enjoy the game. Call of duty has it and nobody had problems. Please consider.

If EA have designed this game for the BF community then KB&M is a must for next gen consoles as their old community have no doubt like me moved across to Xbox/Ps5. The barrier to investing in a PC and even getting the time to play when life has gotten hectic for those that were around for BF2 stops a whole part of the PC community coming back for this if they're forced to controller.
The old community won't be active on here or socials much, they represent a silent tidal wave of old BF players who like me have seen the trailer and would be back in droves if KB&M was native to consoles for 2042!

If you're not good enough to use a controller on console why don't you take your modified crap and go play on PC if you want to use a mouse and keyboard so bad.

Why don't you go play on PC if you have to use a crutch since you can't compete with everyone else using a controller, I would just say all of you M&K players on console just want to have an unfair advantage because ya'll aren't good.

@Z3nMestar1 He has a point though, just because some comes over from PC for whatever reason, why must console support KB&M just for them?

@Trokey66 Maybe just because some people are used to play FPS games with M&K. Now that we have seen that console games can support this feature - it should be up to the players to decide what kind of controller system to use if the decision from game developers is not included (will they add this feature as native part of games).

I'm just wanting an answer regarding BF 2042 - not looking for trollish comments 🙂

@Z3nMestar1 But you are failing to consider the numerous console players who believe that M&KB shouldn't be allowed as they feel part of the joy of consoles should be a relatively level playing field in terms of hardware.

This is not a 'trollish' post, it is an opposing opinion held by many.

@Trokey66 If the new consoles have support for M&K then all this level playing field nonsense is null and void as anyone has the choice to plug in a M&K if they think its better. Its then all about personal preference. The one caveat i would add to that is the potential for macros etc on M&K and i'll admit i am very much out of the loop with regards all that.
