Why no M&K support on console?
Best Answers

Short answer: Because Sony & MS limit it.
Play style answer: Because its a huge advantage that most players won't have. To say "go buy a M&K" then, is the same as us saying, "Go buy a PC then".
Technical Answer: There may be additional technical issues that allowing USB or Bluetooth devices outside of those specifically made for the hardware that goes through a defined process may open the consoles up to hardware and software hacks that could lead to cheating or rooting of the consoles. This happens a bit already, but its small enough percentage and user base to not really be a problem.
Personal answer: I don't want to use a M&K even if it were available. I sit at a computer, hands on a mouse and keyboard for 8 hours of my day already, I don't want to do it on my leisure time too.

1) On dbd its different, since the killer is not on an advantage with mouse and keyboard, is on a disadvantage by using the controller, because as I said, survivors have no problem with using a controllerMisterCremaster said:Short answer: Because Sony & MS limit it.

2) Sony and Microsoft didn't complain with Fortnite, so I assume that its up to the developer
3) No one forces you to play with them, its just an option for those who want it.0

Survivors don't have that much of a problem with controllers, but killers really have a bad time, and at maximum sensitivity it's really slow, so why don't you add M&K support?I heard that razor is teaming up with xbox to enable mouse support in the feature, dont know whethert this is still true though.
Probably never gonna happen when it comes to sony....

Even on my crappy wii from the "last century" I was able to plug in a keyboard to actually type properly.

I think it is 100% keeping the playing field fair, not frustrate players who don't want/have M&K.
In some (maybe all) cases though, it is up to the game maker. For example, Fortnite recognizes the desire for M&K but ALSO has the playerbase to support both. So you can use you're M&K, but you will ONLY be going up against other players using M&K on PS4.

Google xim 4, That's the best converter atm I would say 90% when pc is 1000

Yeah I know, but I don't feel like spending that much money just because the devs don't want to add a support on an asymmetrical PvP, it's obvious that with first person you get shat on by those who have 3rd person if both are using a controller, I don't complain on other games, but dbd is differentbambusratte_xD said:Google xim 4, That's the best converter atm I would say 90% when pc is 1000 -
I personally prefer playing with a controller for both killer and survivor0
