Hello everyone,
I’m eagerly anticipating the release of Diablo IV and I’m considering playing it on console. However, I’ve been unable to find any concrete information on whether keyboard and mouse compatibility will be available on the console versions of the game. I’ve read some speculation online, but nothing official from Blizzard.
With that in mind, I’m hoping to connect with anyone who might have any information on the topic. Are there any plans to include keyboard and mouse support for Diablo IV on console, either at launch or in a future update? I’d love to hear from anyone on the development team who can shed some light on this matter.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.

In a twitter answer they said “only native input controles for console”, so I interpret that as controller only. Even if that answer is wrong, bevause consoles actually do support mkb native.

I really hope they add it or decide to add it not too long after launch. While controller is quite good and has a few advantages here and there, it will never work well for certain targeted abilities (teleport, blizzard, etc.) or managing the inventory/stash.
Keyboard did work for chatting in the beta for PS5. I don’t know if that’s useful info.
k+m IS natively supported on all current gen consoles. Oh well, they have lost one sale.

I really enjoy the controller play over kbd/mouse. My gameplay has direct benefits from the use of a controller. Then again that’s just me and I can see the point in having a choice of what input devices you use. However; I’m good with controller only on console.
I prefer the controller over KB&M. Only issue I found on the Xbox, is the chat. You had to open the emote wheel, open chat, press Y to chat, Xbox keyboard pops up, my Keyboard didn’t put any key strokes in (worked on other games), then another button (X I believe) to send. Wasn’t intuitive at all.
I wish it would detect a keyboard was plugged in and I could just hit enter, type and enter again.
Apart from that, fantastic game. Being able to chat as mentioned above would seal the game for me.
They should give support for keyboard and mouse, it is not logical that this is not the case, also the pc version will use an old trick that through the num lock they can autocast several skills at the same time, which is a great disadvantage not only in pvp but also Farmer time they could do afk farming etc etc
I hope @blizzard add this feature. We need this. Its the best way to give all players the best experience for this game on console
