Using mouse on console

If you use a mouse on console during a competitive game, you deserve a suspension.

Why

Unfair advantage. It’s easier to aim than a controller and sensitivity is much much lower

I hope they add cross play so I can use it on PC players.

why its supported by sony an soon xbox

By that logic anyone on PC playing with a controller should be suspended as well.

They’re already talking about implementing mouse/keyboard support for the xbox. Soooo… Possible cross platform in the future?

psn is already doing cross plat with ios android and pc for that fort builder shooter game.

Implementing a DirectInput system to manage keyboard/mouse inputs, is something most game developers need to program into their engines for Windows PC games as-is. The very act of having mouse/keyboard support, should have been a thing when the USB port was added for xbox360 and ps3.

Not to mention the Xbox DirectX (which is now on PS4) has something called XInput, which is the DLL wrapper that most games on windows use. Steam converts almost every controller to XInput, because the native DLL files are so fast.
