New gen consoles -> K&M?

Hi,

Anyone knows if the new gen PS will let us play all games with keyboard and mouse? That would be awesome.

I'm basically buying PS5 just to play this game smoothly (they confirmed this right?). To get to play with keyboard and mouse would be so cool as well. Then I could actually enjoy playing killer - and vary my killer choice.

Anyone knows this or heard anything?

    Hopefully. Though devs said they have no plans to support it. Maybe that wont matter if they work natively.

    I highly doubt it. "I shouldn't need to buy a K/M to compete with my PS5!"

    I wish, though the life of a married man is not optimal for gamers :(

    A gaming PC is off the table in this house..

    EDIT: Also, to start all over again with the bloodpoints-grind. No thank you.

    I haven't heard or read anything, and the features coming on the DS4 seems pretty indicative that they aren't planning to integrate KB&M.

    Granted, if you wanted to you could make the game compatible with KB&M if you wanted, whether you're on PS4 or PS5. You can either buy an adapter from amazon for a bajillion dollars, or make one using some open source linux libraries on a PC. For hardware you'd need a board that has an ATMEGA32U4 chip, as well as anything that can convert usb to uart like a cp2102 bridge - I think raspberry pi's can also do this. Some popular builds can be found on, i think tkjelectronics.dk or on GiMX.fr. Except, I think tkjelectronics uses an arduino instead of the atmega board, which can run you a bit more costwise, because the USB host shield alone is $30 or so.
