Diablo 4 PS5 Mouse and keyboard

No, literally almost every game specifically doesn’t allow MK on consoles, simply because of the massive balance problems it would create.

It’s up to the dev’s if they activate this “natively” supported feature of the current gen consoles. It’s absolutely ridiculous… it’s like the Gran Turismo dev’s would announce that you can’t use a steeringwheel :joy: for me personally, given that there are extremely high electricity bills where i live, it makes absolutely no sense to fire up a 2080ti instead of the ps5. Also, i don’t wanna sit in a 104 F room while gaming :hot_face:

It desperately needs it, and to be fair pc gets to choose, but I don’t think that we will get it, sadly. Blizz is WAY too stubborn and think that they know what players ‘really want’ even if what they say is quite the opposite. They never quite got the concept that player choice is not a bad thing.

Balance problems? come on, PC has the choice, even to the detriment that controller option on pc ruined d2R multiplayer with the auto-pickit button, making it by far the most useful feature in the game and not everyone had a controller, but it was a choice given to the player… admittedly likely because controller support was inherently coded due to the console version and they didn’t have to do any extra work. I would favour that by far more likely the truth is the work needed to cater for the minority here by coding the libraries needed for k+m support and the recode needed for the ui support on console code.

We’re in 2023. I have crossplay disabled because I don’t want play against players who can kill-steal enemies half a map away.

+1. I bought d4 for console to play with my Fiance. Controller support is bad, please add kbm support I dont understand why its not there already. If its a cross play issue just force kbm players into cross play

If you guys want something to change, all of us should adress this issue. So far the best place is twitter, unfortunately my post or comment is not enough to make them listen as communty manager and other devs simply ignore it.

I’ve wanted them to add this to D2R and was asking for this on D4 from beta…

Would be a dream come true if it happens, but highly doubt it.

Christmas present maybe? :]

It’s disappointing not to have that option. If they try to make the game the same and multiple platforms as possible at least give me the option to choose how I play.

+1 mouse and keyboard support on consoles

We need Mouse and Keyboard support on console for Diablo 4. Please @Blizzard it’s all I ask.

I also would like mouse and keyboard support for Ps5

Yes please! We dont demand it right now, just give us a promise it would be added down the road.

Yeah, this won’t happen and it shouldn’t either. Here, I’ll give you some motivation, go in order first. Head over to the whining/crying thread about adding MKB to D3, I’m sure after 12 years they’re aaaalmost ready to give in to you guys, THEN move on to D4.

Again, it’s not gonna happen.

I would like to see it at least for chat purposes

The weird thing about the statement they released on this is that they said they “wont be supporting non-native controls” at launch. Problem with that statement is that Mouse and Keyboard have been natively supported by PS and XBOX since last generation. They’re definitely natively supported. There’s a pretty long list of games that take advantage of that support.

I definitely hope they add support for it. I’m not holding my breath…but definitely hoping.

I’d stop hoping, it will just annoy and disappoint you in the end. It will never happen.

Similar threads in the D3 forums, been going for about 12 years now. It’s not going to happen there either.

They’re not going to give an edge over controllers, which is why you won’t see it.
