Are you looking to improve your PlayStation 5 gaming experience with keyboard and mouse support? While the PS5 does support these input devices, not all games are compatible, and the setup process can vary depending on the type of keyboard and mouse you have. In this article, we’ll cover how to set up a wired, wireless, or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse on your PS5, and provide a list of games that support these peripherals.
Setting Up Keyboard and Mouse on PS5
Wired Keyboard and Mouse
To set up a wired keyboard and mouse on your PS5, simply plug them into the available USB ports on the console. The PS5 should automatically recognize and activate both devices. To change settings for your keyboard and mouse, go to Settings > Accessories > Other Accessories on the PS5.
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
If you have a wireless keyboard and mouse, you’ll need a compatible adapter. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the adapter, then plug the adapter into the PS5 USB port. The console should automatically recognize both devices. To change settings for your keyboard and mouse, go to Settings > Devices on the PS5.
Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse
To connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to your PS5, first, turn on both devices and put them in pairing mode. On the PS5, go to Settings > Accessories > General > Bluetooth Accessories to search for nearby Bluetooth devices. Select your keyboard and mouse from the list, and they should pair with the PS5 and become usable.
Before purchasing a keyboard, mouse, or adapter, make sure to check the specifications to ensure PS5 compatibility.
