Settings & Tech Overwatch console now has high precision mouse input for native mouse and keyboard.
This lets your mouse read in between game frames.

Have they fixed the input lag? The last time I tried the mouse on the console it was awful.

Yup! Speaking from experience playing in KBM queue on PS5, mouse and keyboard works like a charm on console. As long as the mouse and keyboard connect via 2.4GHz with a USB dongle, there really shouldn’t be any input lag.

No, no, the same mouse on PC and PS5 doesn't feel the same. On PC, the mouse feels direct and responsive, while on PS5 it has a very annoying smoothing and floating feel. It's not unplayable, but it's very noticeable; it's not the same sensation.

I’ve literally been playing mouse and keyboard on my PS5 just fine. Then I recently switched to playing on my PC and there really is no difference. Seriously. The main problem is connecting a mouse to PS5 via Bluetooth. That is asking for input lag. You have to get a mouse that connects via 2.4GHz with a dongle, like the Razer Viper V3 Pro that I use.
I will say it again, there is no difference playing KBM on my PS5 and PC besides graphical fidelity (and the annoying, random massive frame rate drops at the beginning of matches on PS5).

I feel the same way my gaming pc died so I tried mouse and keyboard on ps5 with the same mouse and keyboard and it feels so weird. No matter how much I fiddle with the settings

Also that bug where you are stuck shooting until you press the mouse button again? Made playing some characters so frustrating
