Discover how to seamlessly transition your PC gaming skills over to the PlayStation 5 with the use of a keyboard and mouse. While there are many great PS5 controller options available, the precision and functionality of a keyboard and mouse setup on a PC are hard to beat. Here’s how you can elevate your console gaming experience with your familiar PC peripherals.
How to Use a Keyboard and Mouse on PS5
The PS5 easily recognizes both wired and wireless keyboards and mice, making it simple to integrate these peripherals into your gaming setup. While not all games support keyboard and mouse input, many cross-platform titles do, offering you a competitive edge in various game genres.
Step 1: Activate pairing mode on your wireless keyboard and mouse.
Step 2: Navigate to Settings > Accessories > General > Bluetooth Accessories on your PS5.
Step 3: Select your keyboard and/or mouse from the available list of Bluetooth devices.
Step 4: For wired peripherals, connect the keyboard to the back USB port and the mouse to the front port on your PS5.
You can further customize your keyboard and mouse controls in the Devices settings to suit your preferences, although the default configurations should work seamlessly for most users.
