- @Trokey66 I think those equipment were for PS4 and similar where you had to buy the "Sony made K&M" to play with K&M and with XIM you can use your own. Probably depends on the pov is it considered cheating or not.
- @Z3nMestar1 no, those devices deceive the console into thinking that a controller is being used and I have no doubt that PS5 versions are in development.....
- @Trokey66 Well, it's great that there are options to choose from!
I quick Google search reveals that yes, there is a XIM PS5 firmware update available.
I'm a console player and I hope we keep it controller only for First Person Shooters. Many of us console players enjoy the casual comfort of using a controller. With a KBM, you need to sit up straight and get into a "desk locked" type of position. Its a more rigorous position then sitting on the couch with your controller. So we like relaxing with our controllers and if KBM comes on the scene, it will compel us to use a KBM to be competitive. I vote to leave consoles alone as a controller driven device. (At least for competitive games.)
If you really want KBM, do the work and configure a XIM on your console or play on PC.
Consoles have been a stable platform with little cheating and parity of hardware and use. Part of the attraction is they are low cost and are not always changing. We don't need to turn them into PCs with the addition of KBM control. Controllers are comfortable and fun to use. So please let us keep our controllers.
- @Forkbeard84 I would say that nobody is taking away the controllers! Maybe there would be a smilar option to choose like "crossplay enabled" if someone would like to play with K&M against PC players. Different story if the game developers have created such an option that when crossplay is enabled then you could use K&M on consoles..
- @Z3nMestar1 It might be ok if it works like you say. I really don't want to have a bunch of KBM console players owning us controller players in Battlefield.
- @Forkbeard84 As long as everyone is having fun and enjoying the game to its fullest! Let's hope they would reveal something soon that would make everyone happy. Too optimistic ?
I think people are switching to consoles because the graphics card market is dominated by crypto diggers and it's hard to get a card at the MSR 🙂
and now many devs add support for keybard e.g vallhalla
@Naklofen Sure after you man up and use a controller like everyone else, or are you just that bad on console and want your unfair advantage? I don't think that's being a man.
