You implied that they supported keyboards and mice natively.

Quite a few games do, as support is dependent on the developer, not the console.  A quite few of our games, like FFXIV, have native support for keyboard+mouse.  I think War Thunder also has native support for mouse+keyboards.  For those games that don't, again, it's a simple solution by getting an adapter that adds support keyboard+mouse support to any PS4 game.

What I am saying is that it's no major feet or big deal for someone to get a keyboard+mouse to work in any PS4 game.

Yes.  I have a Xim4 adapter on my PS4 Pro at work, and I've also managed our TQA team in testing out the Xim4 adapter for some of our titles that don't have native support for KB+Mouse on current and last gen consoles.

Then you know it's not super easy even with the xim.

Now the chronus max is harder but actually has quite a bit of custom configuring you can do.

Try to get mouse/keyboard/joystick/wheel to work on GTA V on xbox one and it get's exponentially harder.

  Interesting topic. I personally think that joystick is the only way to go with Aces High.  But I know of at least one potential recruit who would start with a game controller, because that's all he knows.
