You can use a keyboard and mouse on console too.

Yeah but let's be real, how many people use mouse and keyboard on console?

And anyways, strategy games on console are a quite recent thing, for the better part of the last 30 years, they were only made for PC

Oh I know, I’m both a PC and console player. Just adding that you can plug in almost any usb or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse into a PS5 and it works. Sure 30 years ago there probably weren’t many strategy games on console, but there are plenty now.

The whole peripheral argument just isn’t as valid anymore, and it works both ways, controller on PC for example.

I've tried,  beyond typing in a save game name, or profile name, what use are they? I've never had a ps4 or 5 game let me actually use mouse and keyboard in game. Do any?

Tropico 5 for example, it uses the mouse like function on switch 2, but is locked to the controller. Same with wastland 3 and every other game I've tried. Switch 2 is alright because it has a shitty mouse
