Mouse and Keyboard support for console
|
Hey everyone, new player here, beyond excited for POE2 launch. As probably many of you, I don't have a PC capable of running POE2 but I do own a PS5. I was wondering if the game will support a mouse and a keyboard on consoles, akin to games like COD?
I think the gameplay on controller will be fine, but inventory management sucks on controller in games like these, so kbm support would be amazing! I don't think it would be hard to implement, seeing as PS5 supports it on the OS level. Thanks for any replies in advance! Last bumped on Dec 17, 2024, 5:20:11 AM

100% agree.
The XBox current gen (I’d assume the PS5 as well) has native keyboard and mouse support, it’s down to the developers to decide to use it or not. Assuming (and I’d bet a beer on it) that PoE2 is developed on PC and ported to the current gen consoles it would actually take work to disable keyboard and mouse imo and probably less work to port that support. With more action buttons and the new WASD it would be a delight to finally have the choice (like PC does) of either controller or keyboard and mouse if you own them. Also fairly sure (been out of the ‘dev game’ since Xbox 360 when this was def not true) that the SDKs for PS5 and XB Series are damned close to stick in the PC code and press yes (over simplified layman way of putting it).No disrespect to the hardworking console teams intended, we all love you (and I know the work you diligently do).

I've been looking for an answer to this for a long time as well... How hard can it be to just verify this information to the public whether they are implementing it or not :(

There is an interview with JR since GGG Live where he says he didn’t even know it was a thing until recently and is going to talk to console team about implementing it

I am also curious about mouse and keyboard support on PS5

You are right, I am curious too.

Welcome to POE2! While the game hasn’t officially confirmed mouse and keyboard support for consoles, it’s a great idea, especially for inventory management. Many PS5 games do support it, so it’s possible POE2 may offer similar functionality. Keep an eye out for official updates or settings adjustments closer to launch! I was unsure about using an online service for my dissertation, but https://academized.com/write-my-dissertation proved to be the right choice. Their 'write my dissertation' service was incredible. The writer was knowledgeable and delivered a high-quality dissertation that was well-researched and professionally written. The delivery was on time, and the process was hassle-free. I’m extremely happy with the results and will definitely use their service again.

i also support this idea.
it would allow people to properly play poe with just 400$ equipment. ... and then they could remove joystick support from consoles and pc and enable all skills to properly aim and not autofire in any direction which you point to with your mouse. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!
