Keyboard and mouse on consoles

@Trokey66 Well those players can then dominate & play with controllers. Up to them. If crossplay (between next gen consoles and pc) would be enabled then so should various controller options be available too.

@ninjapenquinuk It's not 'nonsense' when they are not supported and that is BEFORE we get to macros etc.

@Z3nMestar1 and if crossplay isn't there or at least, not enforced?

Would you advocate M&KB players being identifiable so that controller users can see if they have been beaten by better players or an advantageous input device?

@Trokey66 if they arent supported then that is a different kettle of fish, but surely they will be on PS5/XX. This is 2021. Again, IF, they are supported then people have a choice. If M&K is so superior and you have the option to plug in a M&K, why would you opt not too, or would you just be a puritan and stick to a controller come what may? I personally prefer a controller for the CQ stuff, as it certainly wasnt my strong point back in my PC days (some would say it still isnt!!), however i feel a M&K is certainly better for mid/long range engagements.

@Trokey66 If crossplay isn't there it's a shame. Your suggestion sounds OK. Personally I don't mind - if I'm beaten - I'm beaten. As long as not being beaten by a cheater.

@Z3nMestar1 But then there in lies a major problem, mamy feel that the use of such devices as XIM and Cronus is cheating.

INB4 "But DICE have said it's not cheating....."

@ninjapenquinuk Arguably I, and many others, could be described as Puritans in regards to controller use on console, not a bad thing just a different point of view.

It is DICE's hands and they will have to deal with any fall out.

Hi @REDSCARF_CAT This has not been confirmed either way yet. More news should hopefully be available closer to the release of the game.

@Trokey66 Im actually more interested in M&K support being 'normal' on the PS5 in the hope that it will mean more strategy type games appearing on console - Civ / Total War type games, than massively bothered about the continued use of controllers in FPS games.

@ninjapenquinuk not an unreasonable request really, I just don't like their use in FPSs because of the advantages they bring over controller.

I would have zero issue in their use in the type of games you talk of as there is no real advantage gained over other players.
