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.

@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.

@FireExhauster Xim/Titan/Chronos are incompatible with PS5, due to the requirement to use a DualSense controller on all games designed for the PS5. Apparently, the encryption is unbreakable.

@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.

@ninjapenquinuk But can't you already make macros with aftermarket controllers like the Scuff? If so that cat is already out of the bad and has been since PS3/360 days.

@Lancelot_du_Lac it is true if third party controllers follow suit. If the encryption is broken and they don't bother changing it then I'd assume XIM and Cronus numbers will rise back up.

The delay might potentially give them an extra bit of time to add this support. I really hope they atleast acknowledge this. I can't even tell if posting feedback here ever reaches to the devs.

Feedback about M&K support has definitely reached devs.

Not sure whether or not it will be implimented but when they say polish, I don't exactly think adding different accessability options is what they meant

@FireExhauster A quick look at the Xim/Titan/Cronus forums confirm that there will be no support for PS5 in the foreseeable future. Many users are moving to Xbox because the controllers are backwards compatible.
Third party controllers will eventually appear (licenced by Sony), but nothing I have seen on the horizon. PS5 is becoming a closed environment, a bit like Apple.

Apparently XIM works on ps5 with remote play now. Supposedly the input lag is low on gigabit lan ethernet and using the TV hooked up to ps5 instead of the remote play TV.

@OskooI_007 There was a firmware update that allowed the DS4 controller to be used on PS4 games on the 5, could that be what you are on about?
