Are All Console Players Using Keyboards in Overwatch?

-

I’ve been playing some Overwatch on my Switch, connected to the TV, and I’ve noticed that the text chat is buzzing with activity. It makes me wonder how people type so quickly on a console. Am I competing against a bunch of PC players here or what?

Another thing to note is that when you undock the Switch, it lets you open an on-screen keyboard for typing, so that might help some players keep up with the chat. But while docked, typing can be really slow.

True! Still, it’s hard to keep pace in Overwatch with all that action going on. Plus, the smaller Switch screen doesn’t help much!

Hey! It’s quite possible some players are using keyboards connected to their consoles. For instance, I use a keyboard with my PS5 which makes typing in chat super fast. A lot of people have picked that up to communicate quickly during games.

Yeah, I feel you! I didn’t see anyone using that on PS4 when I played, things have definitely changed now.

Just a heads-up, some players definitely get fast typing in there. Connecting a keyboard really helps with that. Definitely gets more competitive!
