Yes because you’re not meant to play with kbm on console.

Why not? Multiple Games support Mouse and Keyboard and Overwatch has crossplay. Why shouldn’t there more ways to enjoy a game?

I don’t know and I don’t care, I was simply answering your question.
Nah not really, i mean most of the mouse and Keyboard Controls works, except the important ones haha
You are, It’s a crossplay and a cross-platform game.
it works when queuing PC Pool lobbies with friends, but is a tad buggy

Is there any fix for this problem?
No because the game isn’t technically compatible. The Xbox works with kbm but the game doesn’t. Some inputs will work but that’s about it unless they make the game work with it.
Yet another incompetent move by blizzard.
Halo even got it right. KBM support with INPUT based queue options. It’s not complicated.

how… i cant manage to get this to work
It’s incredibly frustrating having to choose between being able to play with my friends on PC with awful controls, playing by myself with awful controls but there’s aim assist, or shelling out minimum $2,000+ for a PC when I’m broke. A ton of people in my boat along with all of our PC friends would benefit so much if like one guy at Blizzard spent his coffee break fixing this and made support official along with input based MM. It can’t be THAT difficult to implement.

Because playing with keyboard & mouse against players using controllers gives you a huge unfair advantage, and as Blizzard themselves state anything that affords an unfair advantage is cheating.
Blizzard have previously publicly stated that they do not want keyboard/mouse use in Overwatch and that they were looking into ways to even detect & block things like XIM.
Those games aren’t Overwatch/Overwatch 2.
Yes, but for console it’s only with other consoles (unless you group with a PC player then you’re in the PC pool).
If you want to use keyboard/mouse so badly in Overwatch, go play on PC.
Keyboard/mouse use for gameplay has no place on consoles.

It’s not incompetence. It’s by design. Blizzard don’t want players using keyboard/mouse in game on consoles.
You are not. See above.
As noted previously, crossplay on console is only with other consoles unless you group with a PC player then you will be queuing in the PC pool.
Nothing to fix as the game on consoles does not support keyboard/mouse use in game.

^ I really do not understand this kind of vehement opposition to introducing the option for console players to use the objectively better control scheme for FPS. Not everyone can afford a PC. If you’re really worried about fairness, most people who want official MnK support seem onboard with input based matchmaking, so controller users would not have their experience impacted at all. And the funny is, in a lot of crossplay games controllers actually stomp on MnK because of aim assist anyway (most egregious examples are Halo Infinite and Halo: MCC, the MnK population literally fell off like a rock in those games and the aim assist was almost certainly the main factor), so it’s not necessarily just a given that officially supported console mouse would have this “huge unfair advantage” against aim assisted controllers in Overwatch (though I will say that Overwatch’s controller aim has always felt pretty terrible). XIM is an exception only because it gives you aim assist on your mouse.
There are so many ways they could implement this.
Console + kb&m = disable game assist
Console + kb&m = pc pool
Combination of the above.
Even:
Console + kb&m = ranked game play disabled —for those of us who don’t care about ranks, just playing the game.
Refusing to offer the functionality at all (and iron imperfections along the way) is an incentive to use cheating devices to leverage aim assist WITH kb&m where everyone loses.
