Following the 1.11 update to the strategy game Surviving Mars on PS4, where keyboard and mouse support was added. It would open up Elite Dangerous on consoles to be also able to use at least the keyboard going forward to allow for more control options as our controllers (even with the sublime control options currently on controllers) will finally run out of buttons, rather than just keyboard support for text input
Console Keyboard support

I'm all for keyboard support for commands, mouse support is personal preference though. It would be nice to use some of the dozens of commands I can't seem to bind because the game tells me R1+O+X+L@ is already bound to something that it is not. It's not right to have to use a 2 to 5 button combo to simply turn on lights or pull up a scanner. It would be nice to reach over and hit a button on a keyboard. I have the HOTAS and love it, but because of all the button combos needed to activate simple functions, it's almost a pain to try to use anymore. Just allow us to map commands to Controller, whether its a DS4 or HOTAS, and Keyboard.
This is the number one item on my wish list. Most of the time the XBOX controller is fine for me (exploring or trading) but when I get into combat things can get messy... extending my gear or retracting my hardpoints on accident is pretty common during a firefight.

Someone said that this was already added... is keyboard not supported on PS4 in addition to a HOTAS?
