On Oct. 6, the Stadia mouse and keyboard matchmaking pool will be closed. Since launch, Stadia has given us the ability to reach a wider audience for new and returning players on an additional platform. As the service evolved, we found that a predominant amount of our players preferred to play with a controller. Due to this, we’ve decided to focus on the Stadia controller matchmaking pool, helping maximize our Battle Royale experience for players and giving them the best experience possible. While the consolidation of both matchmaking pools was explored, we felt that keeping a controller only queue was critical to upholding the competitive integrity of the player experience, as is the case with all our platforms.

Hey there Anthony, I recommend taking a look at PUBG's Console Update 8.3 Patch Notes. It states the following:
**bleep**ing alienating idiots get ur **bleep** together imagine not supporting m+k on a non console game in 2020 stupid cunts
That is lots of word to say "No, keyboard and mouse is not supported"
I'll be canceling my membership as keyboard and mouse is the only way I'd like to play PUBG
it wont be working again?
What a pathetic decision.
Wow. Just subscribed to play on my surface, via nunchuk and wireless mouse... Wtf. This is terrible. This isn't a **bleep**ing xbox is a computer game... Cancelling.
this is **bleep**ing stupid i cant afford a **bleep**ing controller and now i cant play mfing pubg bc YALL are too **bleep**ing stupid to use a **bleep**ing keyboard and mouse go **bleep** yourself pubg im never endorsing any of your **bleep** from this point. dont **bleep**ing offer me a **bleep**ing refund either unless your gonna buy pubg for me on STEAM bc apparently thats the superior gaming platform compared to **bleep**ing stadia. also i dont give a **bleep** if you think you can ChEaT more with a keyboard and mouse those people who say that have ONLY used a controller and CRY bc some guys spun around and shot them faster than their pleb 1 setting sensitivity controller; BUY A KEYBOARD AND MOUSE, OR maybe pubg should FIX their matchmaking to where controller players DONT play with keyboard players and we wouldnt have these **bleep**ing lil bitches cry about some guy whos from china who uses a max sensitivity setting do a **bleep**ing 420 no scope on their little manlet in-game FACE!
yours truly,
some guy who doesnt own a **bleep**ing controller
go **bleep** yourself stadia and pubg team
im just gonna go play Spongebob since thats the only good thing that came out of this free 2 months
Do you need a hug?
stadia is dogwater if anyone bought ur controller thatd be sad
I want keyboard and mouse accessibility on PUBG in Stadia. If not I would like toc cancel my subscription immediately.
Hello @soulreaper,
The developer removed it a while ago.
Right now I don't think the developer is going to bring back keyboard&mouse support back.
So it is up to you if you want to cancel your subscription.
Please note that if you bought the game you don't need a subscription to play the games.
Pubg has stated that they were disabling keyboard and mouse support in pubg on stadia
Surely Google Stadia, a gaming platform that covers all kinds of (input) devices, cannot be satisfied with this move from the organization behind PUBG.
@AnthonyRMontuya @SnakeBonD's statement came from the PUBG website.
What? C'mon... I loved that game, and you are just forcing me out of it by requiring the use of a gamepad... FPS and gamepad? nah, I'm out. Refund.
How do we know google won't do that with another game too?... So frustrating.
Google please address this... lets keep the half thought out decisions and solutions to side effects out of the cloud.
We all know that the reason pops are low isn't because they are divided by input device, but rather because there is a lack of crossplay so the player base is fragmented...
At this point this decision impacts the viability of Stadia as a platform and sets a bad precedent. I can stream on any screen, but god forbid I use one of two supported input devices...
I can understand allowing developers to port their games over without supporting the full stadia experience (non 60fps/4k/etc) since I'd rather have ESO online available for streaming than not at all, and given the benefit of the doubt most of these games were not originally built targeting Stadia, but a decision like the one PUBG just made goes a bit too far
i also wouldn't have cared if they had allowed cross-play for ALL , but with KBM players taking a Latency penalty (say 10 or 15ms) to even out the advantage of mouse precision.
I least it would have given KBM as an alternative option to those that prefer.
anyways , we can only hope they have a re-think.

How does the refund work if I have no Idea to buy a controller?
instructions for refund on this post.
https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-General/PUBG-refund/td-p/34635
it probably IS worth complaining.
I expect Google Cust Serv to be pretty good, and give some sort of compensation, especially if you explain how there was no decent 'heads-up' on this happening (I certainly didn't see anything clearly expressed about this, and only found out when i couldnt get it to work, and started googling it).
You might get your last month subs credited, (or any addons you purchased)
Let us know how you get on.
Good Luck.

Again a nice example how a developer develops against the wishes of the customer.So i will cancel my stadia membership and can only recommend this to everyone. playing a shooter with such a controller is just crap.
I joined Stadia purely to play PUBG on computer....NOT ON A CONSOLE WITH CONTROLLERS. I complained to STADIA and they blamed PUBG. Both idiots in my opinion in isolating a huge proportion of the gaming community. Yes I could buy a controller but don't they realise that its a better experience with keyboard and mouse???? Another nail in the coffin for both PUBG at a time when they are rapidly losing players....they have no clue what the community want....they are out of touch....what kind of lunatic strategy is this? I've also cancelled my Stadia subscription as well. Go play Warzone guys.
Same, I am cancelling my stadia membership and will never play pubg again. Took away the little enjoyment I had left....
These people are not allowed how to tell us how to play a game. if i want to use a flight stick with my feet i should be allowed.... we have missed the real focus here. PLAYING GAMES.
I tried playing PUBG with the controller it was just awful not funny !
yeah
I had a try last night with my PowerA Xbox controller.
Trying to sort out/work out my weapon & items in the inventory menu was a nightmare ! =O
I really struggled and got killed quickly. maybe after hours an hours I can improve, but will never match KBM
I tried it once, and it was horrible. I used to play PUBG with KBD&Mouse and enjoyed it a lot, now wanting to get back to it and it has been ruined.
Are there emulators that can emulate controller and let you use Mouse and kbd?
So i bought for 20 dollars and now i also have to buy a controller, i don't even have the money for that....
I do not play PUGB but if this starts to effect more or future games I will cancel Stadia and switch prolly to Gforce Now.
I am a m&k player and only use the controller for games like Celeste or Mortal Kombat.
I would not like to play Borderlands 3 or Doom Eternal with a controller, lol.
(I know they wont remove it from this games but maybe new games will not support m&k anymore from start)
Maybe we should suggest Stadia to support Steam: Rent a bare-metal gaming PC, install anything you want ![]()
Great idea.
