Huge Problem with supporting mouse and keyboard for console players!

If you guys are actually going through with this

Then there should be a HARD lock where whoever plugs in a mnk, is REQUIRED to play against PC players.

Does PS have a dedicated server?
I thought it was merged
In each game, I will meet at least 3 to 7 game controller players in the same team.
Now you only need to look at the number of players who use the game handle to understand the winning rate
When playing with keyboard players, controller players are almost equal to the worst.
Of course there are excellent game players
But the proportion is less than 1%

He is refering to the console only lobbies with 100% controller players.
If you can just plug in M&K then you will basicly become a pc player and have a more precise/diffrent input method than the rest which can be a huge boon.
What OP wants is to force M&K players on console to use the crossplay on so he will be matched against PC players (which he has basicly become at this point) and to give them no chance in entering console only server.

Yes but those are optional

Exactly. Because what makes a game console only when you can plug in a keyboard and mouse ans go against other console players without playing against anyone else with your control layout?

they have option to play with pc players (crossplay on) or just with console players (crossplay off).

Let’s look at it this way, if mouse and keyboard are implemented on console the best way to do this is take the Sea of thieves approach. Not only does it tell you if someone’s using mouse and keyboard but you’re locked into matches with other people using mouse and keyboard.

This can go one of two ways:

  • Console players only using mouse and keyboard

  • Or matchmaking with all players on all platforms.

In no way shape or form should console players with mouse and keyboard be allowed to play with just other console players using controllers.

Another thing to add if mouse and keyboard is being used when the game detects that any sort of auto aim and correction that are used to help controllers is permanently an automatically disabled when in mouse and keyboard mode.
