Responding to a fan on Twitter, Spencer said mouse and keyboard support for consoles provides an advantage to gamers. Nevertheless, he added that he plans to let the studios decide what is best for their games.
Mouse-and-keyboard provides better controls
The mouse and keyboard combination provides better control for precision aiming in real time strategy games. While gamers can never seem to perfect their aim using sticks, some players can have an advantage using a mouse and keyboard setup. Spencer’s statement seems to be an indirect response to Kaplan’s earlier remarks, stating that Overwatch “objects to the use of mouse-and-keyboard on console.” Blizzard Entertainment, developer of Overwatch, is currently in discussion with Sony and Microsoft over the use of input conversion devices on consoles and the potential addition of keyboard and mouse controls. According to Kaplan, Blizzard has called on Sony and Microsoft to choose between prohibiting conversion devices and mouse and keyboard controls from consoles and adding support for those controls. Some players have developed ways to enable converters and mouse-and-keyboard controls on consoles, though the Xbox One does not officially support these controls.
