Despite Sony leaving the door open, there are very few games that we know of that support keyboards and mice on PS5, even if you use them to navigate menus and UI on PS5.

This is mainly due to the game&#8217;s mechanics or design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We presume there will be some growth in keyboard-friendly games in the future. This mouse and keyboard support is heavily dependent on developers actually taking advantage of it, which it seems like many aren&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_may_also_like_%F0%9F%91%87\"><\/span><strong>You may also like<\/strong> \ud83d\udc47<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/2024\/12\/how-to-insert-ps5-disc-guide-2024\/\">How to Insert PS5 Disc \u2013 Guide 2024<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/2024\/12\/how-to-search-a-weapon-case-in-fortnite\/\">Where to find and Search a Weapon Case in Fortnite \u2013 Guides 2024<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/2024\/09\/spider-man-ps4-cheat-codes-unleash-your-inner-superhero\/\">Spider-Man PS4 Cheat Codes: Unleash Your Inner Superhero<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading&#8230; Check back regularly on updates for PS5 keyboard and mouse support set up! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PS5 keyboard and mouse support set up \u2013 Guide 2024 To learn how the PS5 keyboard and mouse support set up works is a pretty easy and straightforward thing to do, although there are some limitations to what the Mouse and Keyboard setup are capable of on the PlayStation 5.
