there are accessories out that let you use keyboard and mouse for ps5 games that dont support it. has anyone tested to see if this solves the no KB support on consoles?
Would it work?
Yes.
The question is if it’s allowed. They’d certainly ban you if it was Overwatch or an FPS. As far as D4, probably against the ToS, especially since many of them can load up macros, and those certainly are against the ToS.
I’m still not sure why they didn’t include kbm support, as it shouldn’t be too hard to implement.
there is no cursor in the game on console afaik… so how would a mouse work anyway? In a game like Ow or COD you don’t need a cursor… just mouselook… but the whole point of having a mouse in d4… is to have a cursor…
Becuase they don’t want to do input based matchmaking. Console players can opt out of crossplay to avoid m&k players. If they add m&k to console there is nowhere for the majority controller players to pvp on even terms.
The OW console top ranks are filled with Xim users. Blizzard can’t detect k&m adaptors for consoles, and don’t know if they’d bother trying for a PVE game where it’s not a specific advantage.
How the other group got people caught were through the macros. It becomes trivial to find someone using a macro which removes all recoil.
Personally myself, I don’t have a problem with adapters in a game like Diablo, provided they’re not using macros. Obviously though, there will be people who do.
The seasons why macros will be so dangerous, is that they’ll be able to completely swap gear and skills in a fraction of a second that are not humanly possible.
