Next-Gen console players are in luck, as the Xbox Series X|S and the PS5 already have an in-built mouse and keyboard support. The process to implement it is pretty simple. You just need to take in your choice of keyboard and mouse and plug it into the console’s USB port. Once the mouse indicator is showing on the screen, you are good to go. Now all that is left is to change the input device option in MW2 itself. To do that, head over to the game’s settings page, then go to the Controller option and select the device that you want to switch to.
For Current Gen console users, it will be quite a gamble, as you need to ensure that your console will recognize the new devices that you will be pairing it up with.

Once you get that, just plug it into the USB port and wait till the console recognizes it. Once it does, you can play MW2 using the keyboard and mouse.
