Stadia PUBG keyboard and mouse doesn’t work.

I have been playing PUBG on both KBM and controller up until this decision forced me to be stuck with a Controller. As a result, I have been playing other games on Stadia more often now.

I have two observations that speak to why KBM should be allowed and mixed with the common pool as well. Anyways, people in this forum agree that it is a more natural UX to play FPS with KBM than a Controller.

1. When I played with KBM, I found that my gameplay was better and improved over time. But sadly, the player pool was too small, and it took forever to get a sqad match and start a game. I guess that a smaller pool made it less competitive.

2. When I played with my Stadia Controller, most of the other players I matched with were neither on Stadia, nor on other controller-based platforms. I found this out by listening to the team audio. I also found that other players from the common pool have undue advantage and better response time. I thought my gameplay is bad but playing with KBM proved otherwise. My guess is - we are being matched with players playing on PC with KBM in the common pool while we play on a Controller on Stadia. If this is the case, then this decision does not make sense.

Hope to see KBM mode back on Stadia for PUBG.
