Input based matchmaking on PC?

I bought this game on Steam thinking it had input-based matchmaking.

As one of the few PC controller users (shameful, I know), I was under the impression I’d be matched with other controller players — including console users — thanks to the new crossplay system.

However, it seems I’m mostly being placed in PC lobbies, and the game doesn’t even seem to recognize that I’m using a controller since my icon shows as a PC on the scoreboard.

Is input-based matchmaking actually a thing, and if so, will it ever properly include PC controller users? Or are we forever a doomed race?

    In the same boat with the both of you. Holding off on purchasing on any platform until this is answered. If controller players on PC can at least get with the console players i’m getting it on PC, but otherwise I might just have to bite the bullet on PC or decide to get it on my consoles.

  • Bought EA Play Pro to try it out with a controller. It seems that input based matchmaking is not working on PC. 

  • There is no input ased match making at all. To top it all off pc does not have the ability to turn off crossplay either meanwhile for some reason consoles can but we cant.

    by the way there is MOUSE AND KEYBOARD SUPPORT on CONSOLE, i think input based matchmaking is the only solution otherwise console players will say goodbye.

    This is unacceptable. I've always played Battlefields on consoles with a controller, and my placement in matches has almost always been in the top three. Now I've bought a PC and play B6 with a controller, and my placement is always in the bottom three. PC players with keyboard and mouse destroy me with a flick and a click. I've tried everything, and there's no way to play. We need to include NOW also PC with controller into the input based matchmaking . DICE PLS
