@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.

@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?

    @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?

    @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.

    @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

    @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.
