Hi,

What do you all think about this?



I personally think it takes away the true meaning of pc gaming, but I'm all for people getting used to playing with the superior controller.

Personally, don't mind it, I might even try using m&k for myself. The only issue I would have is if I can't enable/disable matchmaking with people using a mouse and keyboard.

Pretty cool for people who don't have hundreds and hundreds of dollars to drop on a good PC for gaming.
They can still get the feeling of "PC gaming" and maybe consider switching over to a PC later on down the line if they get used to the feeling of mouse and keyboard.
Then again Nickmercs and Ghost Aydan proved time and time again you can compete at top level with a controller and still do very well.

I'm not a fan of it, but whatever. I think the mouse is far superior and accurate compared to the controller. So the being relaxed with a controller output is going to be at a disadvantage no matter what.

I mean it doesn't affect the controller players if devs utilize the seperate matchmaking pools. I'm all for it.

i think its absolutely pathetic. its a console and playing against Xim users was bad enough you cannot compete at range because they have 0 recoil in Shooters such as pubg.


Imagine how pathetic its gonna be soon.


hate that xbox has added this in.

Here's the thing, they aren't stupid about this, whilst they can completely deny access to users who have an XIM etc I don't see them adding this to games such as Call Of Duty, if so they'd be simply matched against each other, as they know it makes it an unfair battleground, Xbox Does things right. they know better which is why it'll only be on a select few games, more things that don't give you an advantage over a controller user, like shooters Regardless I love that they've done this, as it'll save us money if we really wanna use Keyboard & Mouse on xbox.

Some games it'd ruin population of game modes etc.

We're getting to a generation where technology is moving ahead of our knowledge, so anything at this point is possible and likely to happen. I don't see a problem with keyboard and mouse on Xbox because the 2 devices weren't just made for a PC.

XIM has already been patched though,
and the official Microsoft integration is forcing separate matchmaking pools for M&K / Controller players.
