Mouse & Keyboard Adapters(Cronus and XIM) on PS5 Are Ruining Fair Play
Almost every update introduces new bugs, and some of them remain unresolved for an entire season. It often feels like DICE keeps finding new ways to make the game less enjoyable. Just like Battlefield 2042, Battlefield 6 feels like an unfinished product that was released before it was truly ready.
On PS5, while playing on Japanese servers, players using mouse and keyboard with input adapters such as XIM and Cronus have become increasingly common—especially on the Japanese servers. These adapters allow players to use a mouse and keyboard while benefiting from console aim assist, giving them an unfair advantage and allowing them to perform far beyond what legitimate players of the same skill level on either console or PC can achieve.
DICE continues to talk about fair competition, yet this issue has been ignored for far too long.
What makes it even worse is that DICE could simply require console players using mouse and keyboard to enable cross-play with PC, while taking stronger action against Cronus and XIM users. Instead of forcing all console players into cross-play, DICE should focus on addressing input adapter abuse and protecting fair competition on consoles.
If fair competition is truly a priority, DICE should take stronger action against input adapters and provide console players with a genuine controller-only matchmaking option.
There is only so much EA can do. Consoles won't give them deeper control of what is actually going on ON the device. The best EA can do is monitor the inputs to their servers, and maybe get connected device data from the console. That's a big maybe though, and it can be spoofed as a controller anyways so pretty useless.
Get angry at Microsuck and Snoy. They should be bricking consoles like Nintentrash whenever a person is doing things they shouldn't. Instead console owners get a free pass to be garbage people and cheat all they want, and then they get to make a new, free account whenever they get banned, put the disc back in a away they go.
