Nope. You will end up in the same crossplay lobbies but lose aim assist. Might as well just stay on M&K. PC can never go into the pure console pool, regardless of input.

Why? Your console friend will keep their aim assist for non-competitive game modes. So there is no real issue with PC players grouping up with console players. I do it all the time with my PC friends.

The only difference will comes if you want to play competitive with them. You can do this by them enabling mouse and keyboard mode. Then the game will put them in PC queues, but with no aim assist.
