Does anyone know if the Division on PS4 can be played with keyboard and mouse? Ive found stuff online saying it can, then others saying it can but with a expensive addon device.

Does anyone know for a fact if it can or not please???

O before someone jumps on the you are after a advantage in pvp no im not i hate pvp and dont do pvp i just cant hit a barn door with a controller.
 
I can't help 100℅, but I seem to remember seeing that this particular game is very poorly optimised for kB/mouse, even with that adapter thing (can't recall it's name, is it xim?)
 
yeah xim want to see if i can use them without getting a xim dont want to throw £100+ quid down the drain if its not needed.
 
Your pc will run it based on sig so why not just get it on that? I know you say don't do pvp but consols ain't meant for kbd and mouse and them add ons should be banned imo over priced for one thing alone
 
Natively, no.

With something like Xim, probably.

The PS4 (or console) version is designed to played with a controller. Xim just mimics the stick movement onto the mouse with very mixed results.

As Mark mentions your PC is more than capable of running the game (maxed out for that matter) so that is always an option if you have to use a KB & mouse. Alternatively the game isn't bad on a controller. The Third person view makes it more forgiving if you are not used to aim with analogue sticks.

Second hand copies of the game are pretty cheap now so you could always give it a quick bash and trade it back in if you find you can't get on with the controls. :)
 
Have it on pc but want to play with a friend on PS4

Owen have you tried it on ps4 division without the xim thing?

I play it on PS4 via controller and have no issues.

When running the game the console will only accept input from a controller (the Xim effectively tricks the console into thinking it is receiving controller input). Just plugging a keyboard and mouse in will do nothing (unless of course I have missed something and the Division is unique in this case).

I can give it a go this evening if you like?
 
Please owen if you dont mind ive found posts saying yes it works and others saying no it needs a xim just trying to find a deffinate yes or no. As playstation does work with keyboard and mouse in certain games now.

Thanks
 
Tested and the KB & M do not work on the Division. This was tested on a PS4 pro but the result will be the same on the normal PS4.

The console recognised they were connected but the game didn't bat an eyelid.

I can only assume the posts stating it would work are actually talking about via a Xim like device.
