Last year Microsoft implemented keyboard and mouse support on xbox one for ~20 titles, ESO is not supported. This should be easy to implement, as ESO already supports keyboard and mouse on PC. I want to go back to my xbox account to play with friends, but cant really imagine using a controller again. This is merely a hope, but would be great to see this added to console.

    this would be great. I actually use a Hama speedshot ultimate converter on xbox, as I was used to play games on PC before for 25 years.
    But native support might work even smoother, the mouse is not exactly as responsive as on PC.

    You would need some way to separate the players in pvp. Keyboard and mouse offers a lot of reflex and reaction control that controller can't compete with.
    PvP needs more love.

    this separation does not exist on PC, where both input devices are supported by default.

    If a player suck in PvP, he will suck disregarding if he uses controller, mouse or black magic.
    If a player is good in PvP he will perform good disregarding if he uses controller, mouse or black magic.


    Speaking from my own experience. I played for 2 years on PS4 and now playing for 3+ years on PC with the PS4 controller,

    I have no trouble killing anyone at all (Stamden master race).

    I'm surprised this isn't an option already, since PC allows for both and keyboards and mice which are compatible with consoles are not exactly a new thing.

    Sometimes it seems like ZOS were going out of their way to minimise the options available on the console version of the game. I understand not having addons, but things like this and the inability to create custom chat tabs or even turn off channels you're not currently using seem very strange. If you go to all the hassle of building an option into your game why restrict it to only about 1/3 of your players?

    I really just want full control over keybinds on the ps4 controller.

    Keyboards are already natively supported on xbox, it's just a matter of being able to use mice there.

    I can also say, as someone who's played with M+K on PC as well as controller on both PC and both consoles, I'm in 100% support of this. I also don't think it would allow much in the way of unfair advantage, aside from letting people better with M+K use M+K and letting people better with controller keep using controller, as it is on PC.

    This is the one mmo I've ever played that honestly misses absolutely nothing by playing it in a controller.

    ...So long as you also have a keyboard or other way to use text chat. But overall yeah. I sincerely appreciate how ESO was designed to work with a controller, instead of poorly ported from PC controls with little to no thought.

    One of the attractive aspects of consoles is uniformity among players. I like knowing that there are minimal hardware/periferal advantages available, and I like how that saves me time and money from investing in and configuring those advantages.

    Some folks view this as a drawback for consoles. Those folks should play on PC.
