This is a really annoying feature that is missing in BF4, and I hope that BF1 will have an option to disable the console key. It would be even more important to have it in BF1, since I hear that there’s more skill and manual maneuvering required (hence, more keys/clicks per minute) Is there any word on the console button? Thanks in advance! ---

If you have a decent keyboard, just remove the key ---

You want to remove consoles from BF1? They deserve every right to play this game too, ya know. ---

For PC, the tilde key opens a console screen, which, when activated, prevents you from playing in-game until you press the console key again. Since this key is right above the tab button, it frequently gets pressed. > [@ThePoolshark](#): > > If you have a decent keyboard, just remove the key I have a mechanical gaming keyboard, so removing the tilde key is not an option, because it’s more than a decent keyboard. Third party key disabling softwares don’t work in-game. The tilde key isn’t allowed to bind to some other obscure, unused/under-utilized action. Save for physically removing the key, there’s no other option in BF4, as you may already know. I hope it’s able to be disabled in BF1 (applies only to PC, of course). ---

I have a mechanical keyboard, and my keycaps come off. ---

Kinda silly that the console can even open during online play… The only thing I can think of would be to enable frame rate displays and such
