Microsoft opened the kb&m API for all developers so they can implement it the way they want. You would not be creating a new layer, just adding a new filtre along with the dozen already in place, like type of match, latency, etc...
So just because it's a "personal preference" it doesn't give you an advantage? As @Blackidus said before there are some technics the game can implement that could minimise the disadvantages. And let's be honest, if a player is feeling a huge disadvantage just plug a kb&m and be happy! We are talking about a $20 accessory that anyone can have, or already have, to enjoy the game.
@TifanofauvoI have not based it solely on esports content. It also all aspects of playing multiplayer. Using keyboard and mouse against console controller players gives you a massive advantage with your reaction, aiming and control speeds. It's a proven fact which is why games ban people who are caught using them now. Microsoft may have opened up to it but have sony? It's cheating and if you advocate for it then you are also a part of them problem. There is only one legitimate use for mouse and keyboard on console that I have found and it is for people with disabilities.
- 4 years ago@SF-Tebaggins So you are saying that Microsoft is providing cheating tools by allowing kb&m on Xbox? Part of the problem?! You should think about what you are saying, it doesn't make sense.
By the way, Sony also allows keyboard and mouse.
The problem that I see is people who are not willing to accept/adapt to changes. Keyboard and mouse on consoles is a reality and it is growing fast!
Again, if you think you have a HUGE disadvantage, by all means plug your keyboard and mouse and be happy. - 4 years ago@Tifanofauvo Hm "adapt to change" would that not be you m&k users that can't 'ADAPT' and use a controller and play fairly like mostly everyone else on console using a controller?
- 4 years ago@TankerFlanker Good point. Yes, that is case for several games including FPS like Battlefield V. I have to use Xbox controller because there is no other option.
However there are better options and if we can, why not use it?
Wouldn't you use a racing wheel in racing game if you have available? Wouldn't it be a better experience? - 4 years ago@Tifanofauvo One reason people use a racing wheel in RACING games is to feel more immersed, a m&k on console is going to do nothing for immersion in a FPS game except give an unfair advantage over people using a controller. If anything the controller would be the better option seeing as the new dual sense on PS5 is pretty crazy with it's different vibrations to feel what's going on in a game.

I switched from PC to console and learned how to use a controller - it’s possible.
The first several times I played using a controller, I was frustrated and I remember thinking to myself: “Good grief what a joke this is, you literally have zero control using a controller”.
But then I started looking at the Settings in Battlefield 1.
There are a number of parameters there which you can adjust according to how you like the game to respond to you using your controller.
It takes some experimentation to set it up the way you like it, but it’s not rocket science, anyone can do it.
For the record I was saying prior to purchasing a console that I wouldn’t get one unless there was M&K support.
So I have been in “both camps” here.
- UP_Hawxxeye4 years agoLegend@VOLBANKER_PC I moved from PS3 to PC from BF3 to BF4. The thing that I could not stand not having in the consoles is the chat box and the larger draw distance.
It is about more than aiming. The chat box made the game have a lot more soul to me - 4 years ago@UP_Hawxxeye Ok. For me it was a relief to get rid of the chat. You can have fun with others on the chat, which I always enjoyed myself, however I got tired of all the negativity and abuse that comes with the chat box also.

Sorry but it is not possible to agree with you about M&K being cheating on Console.
ex: I have a friend who is left handed and for many tries and efforts he still prefers controller over M&K even on Pc
the aim assist in games is OP, after someone mastered the L2+R2 combo game is easy for controller.
Have you played Cod recently in console lobbies only with M&K enabled?
you will get shredded by controller sweaties even playing with m&K
so where is the advantage there? lool
any device gives you an advantage?
with that said if I play on my monitor instead of my tv with 400ms of input lag I am cheating?
I consider this cheating:
Xim apex + aim assist
Cronus max with macros
I own a Pc and at this point I will also not be able to upgrade my gpu because of the insane prices (still hoping for better days) but,
from my group of friends all console players i am the only one that has one, and i would like to play with friends with my prefered input.
last:
-by adding M&K support it might introduce this input for ppl who always played with controllers
-it might deter ppl buying the above mentioned cheating devices
-and Help ppl with disabilities too so they can also enjoy the game
Dice and Ea would only be loosing if they dont do it because:
Look at the success of COD
