Does Apex Legends support mouse and keyboard on console? Respawn EntertainmentIf you play Apex Legends on console and want to play with a mouse and keyboard, then you really might be better off just moving over to PC, and we\u2019ll explain why. Chances are if you\u2019re a console Apex player you\u2019ve probably heard the argument that playing with a mouse and keyboard is just so much \u201cbetter\u201d than using a controller, for a variety of reasons. Whether this is true or not, we can\u2019t say, but if you find yourself wanting to try the PC peripherals on a console to improve your play, you\u2019re probably better off spending that time practicing instead. Does Apex Legends support mouse & keyboard on console? So, you have your USB keyboard, your console of choice, and you\u2019re ready to rock and roll. You plug the keyboard into the console, boot up Apex, and\u2026. nothing happens. That\u2019s because Apex Legends does not support mouse and keyboard on console. Other games like Black Ops Cold War and Fortnite do, but simply taking them from your computer and plugging them into your system won\u2019t work with Apex. Can you play Apex Legends with mouse & keyboard on console? There are a number of third-party devices that claim to allow you to hook up a keyboard and mouse to a console, but we can\u2019t suggest using these. For one, they\u2019re seen as pretty scummy and cheap, and two, they come with several other drawbacks. Firstly, there\u2019s the chance of input delay. This might seem crazy, but console games are usually meant to be played with the console\u2019s own controllers. Using a keyboard and mouse on a game that doesn\u2019t support it, along with another device to even make it work, is sure to gum things up just enough to be annoyingly noticeable. Next is the price. You\u2019ve already bought the console and the controller that came with it, so why go out of your way and spend even more money to get a converter you aren\u2019t even sure will work as well? Finally, as we mentioned, if anyone finds out you\u2019re using KBM on console, more than likely you\u2019re going to get flamed for doing so because it\u2019s seen as a questionable move, and considered outright cheating by some. Respawn hasn\u2019t said players will be banned for doing so, but it\u2019s still not a good look. When will Apex Legends have support for mouse & keyboard on console? Respawn hasn\u2019t said anything about adding keyboard and mouse support for Apex Legends on console or even hinted at it before, so there\u2019s no way to tell when, or even if it will even happen in the future. If this changes though, we\u2019ll be the first to let you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
