recently I tried Rocket League at a friend's, on his PS4 and it was and always seems to be amazing, so naturally I am considering buying it.
I'm hoping to get some input on some questions, so that I'm not yet again buying a game I'll only touch once.
1. Does Rocket League work well with a keyboard and without a mouse? I'm hoping the camera lock on mode is a good replacement for the mouse
2. Is Rocket League enjoyable with high latency and an unstable internet connection?
3. In a couple of months I'll have 4 joysticks. Can my hardware run a local 4 player Rocket League match, and is it even a possibility with the game?
4. Can I play with people on other platforms? Also PS4 players
5. Does the game still have an active online community?
6. Does the game require an internet connection to play locally?
I have a Thinkpad with the following specs:

Helping with some of your questions:
3. I have played local 2-player on my Linux machine. I imagine local 4-player won't be a problem.
Also noting that I have used official Xbox 360 *and* non-official Xbox 360 gamepads with Rocket League and they worked perfectly.
4. You can certainly play with all the Windows PC players. Not so sure about versus Playstation / Xbox users.
5. It's a very popular game, and it follows that it has a very active online community. Plenty of people on the servers to play against!
Hope that is of use.
