I see the hate for kbm, and can't blame them.
Some or most of you think kbm, has an advantage over the DS3.
But nope it doesn't, kindly search the forums for threads about KBM or keyboard (key word search).
And for sure you'll notice some of those threads are requesting to have KBM fixed back to beta version.
see example thread below;

It's false.
Many people, mainly those who do not use it or have only used them in other shooter or games, tend to believe that the KB/M is better than "non-aim assisted DS3". The reality of the matter is that the KB/M of other games is very different from KB/M in DUST 514. It's main difference is that KB/M in other games, where it is supported, mainly in PC or otherwise, has aim assist. This simple fact creates a community that believes that the KB/M is a godly tool that gives an unfair edge over DS3 users to the wielder.
This little debate is hurtful to the game and the community at large. Many users of the DS3, pre aim assist, which was and is the majority of the player base, directly competed with KB/M users and largely bested them. During these times it wasn't rare to hear someone say " I would have totally won that engagement if he wasn't using KB/M!" but, how did the player that lost the engagement know he was using KB/M? The reality is that it was an excuse for being less of a player than the opponent. The majority of the times, simply because the majority of the players use them; it was a DS3 user that beat them.
The myth soon caught on though and KB/M users suffered for it. CCP devised a series of handicaps such as slowed turn speed and target repulsion, where if you where using a KB/M your crosshair would actively be repelled by the target (Very notable when using Vehicle turrets) making it very difficult to keep a steady aim....

I'm one of those kbm users, and I'm not even a legendary slayer (seriously, just a casual gamer).
Example; you have a foe in CQC doing wiggle-wiggle dance move and if I do the ADADA, you think I'll win that dance battle do you? you're wrong 90% of the time I'll be taken out and the remaining 10% is because of luck and my experience.
Did you try to use DS3? Yes I did.
But I suck on being a twitch user on a DS3, my hands are not that in well grasp on the DS3 controller.
Also I've tried playing FPS games on xbox one console and so far I think I can play better (aim) with the xbox controller.
That is not versus bots, but on PVP.
So yeah I think it's somehow true, that using the xbox controller for FPS console games is better due button layout. (in my opinion).
Why use KBM? I'm more inclined in using kbm on FPS games, mainly because I'm used to to it.
I've been playing FPS games on PC way back then, where we have Quake3, Counter-Strike, Unreal Tournament.
If removing KBM on this game is needed, will you agree on it? Yes
Sure If they removed the aim assist and fixed hit detection.
Isn't your good in using keyboard and why do you agree?
I think I can buy a xbox controller and I can use it on my PS3 console.
Via adapter and use it for FPS games on PS3 console for Dust 514.
If they didn't removed the support for KBM, but removed aim assist on DS3.
Do you think it's unfair? No
I've been playing this game Dust 514 since after the beta stage (i think so).
Back then CQC battles like 1on1's were far better without auto aim, it's more like oh he/she got me, cause that guy
has better gun fight. Do you think I always won a 1on1 match back then, the answer is no.
That is always on 50/50 result, still the fights back then were fulfilling.

I saw this on other forum post and I'll put this question here...
So tell me, how many legendary keyboard and mouse users do we have in this game.
Can you give me a list?To CCP Team, Can we have a list of how many DS3 users versus KBM users here in this game.
And put it on sticky thread to avoid so much QQ and blame finger stuff.
