No way! Did You Know That You Can Play on Playstation 4 With Keyboard And Mouse?

For many gamers, it's much more comfortable to play with a keyboard and mouse, especially in shooter games. Lots of players start their gaming experience from PC and get used to mouse clicking and key button pressing. But suddenly one buys a PS4 to play exclusive games like GOW or Spiderman and realizes that DualSense gives a completely different experience. It's not necessary to start from 0 with your PS4 when you can plug in controllers that you know how to use. Playstation 4 keyboard and mouse give a huge advantage in shooter games and more stable camera control. So let's give it a try!

PlayStation 4 Keyboard and Mouse Bluetooth connection

So first of all what you have to do is actually buy wireless garniture. Read instructions, in some cases, you have to plug in the USB Bluetooth receiver to connect PlayStation 4 + controller + keyboard.

Follow instructions of garniture like paring garniture to the receiver, removing safety tapes from battery blocks, etc. So as your garniture is ready to connect is PS4:

• Switch on PS4, select your profile;
• Go to settings;
• Choose Devices;
• Go to Bluetooth Devices;
• Put your garniture in pairing mode if necessary;
• Select your device from the list. Wait until it's gonna be connected;
• You might need to register this device;
• If your device is compatible there is gonna be a connection success message.

To be mentioned not all mouses, keyboards and headsets are compatible with PS4. There are 100% compatible controllers but be careful prices bite a lot.

USB connection

The problem is not every device is going to work with PS4. This is a typical PlayStation 4 controller keyboard problem. It's gonna be a little bit more difficult than a wireless connection. Just plug in your garniture in the USB port. If the message of a successful connection doesn’t pop up, u cannot do much. There are no possibilities to download any specific drivers to mouse or keyboard, so if PS4 doesn’t see it “It is what it is”. Down below I'm gonna list the most compatible controllers.

Mouse and keyboards in PS games

So now everything is fine, PS sees your garniture and you can surf the internet or chat with friends easily. And you think a remote keyboard with PlayStation 4 problems went away… Be ready not every game compatible with a keyboard for Playstation or mouse. So u can use special adapters like Xim4, May Flash Max-Shooter, they are using plug-and-play tech. In most MMO games, the problem is considered to be cheating and you can get a permanent ban for this.

What else can we say about the PlayStation 4 keyboard mouse? Remember that there is no PlayStation mouse or PlayStation keyboard controllers. Sony created this platform only for Dualshoks (joysticks). Believe me, that’s not a big deal to play with a classic PS controller, one can get used to it in one month. Spend your money wisely and have a great gaming experience)
