    If you want to use the DualSense controller on PS5 to type in passwords or to search for content in apps, it can become a very difficult task for sure. The best part is that you can now get around these difficulties by plugging your keyboard and mouse into the PlayStation 5 console. You can also use them to play all those games that include – as input devices – mouse and keyboard support. In this guide, I will explain how you can use a keyboard and mouse on PS5.

    How to Use a Keyboard and Mouse with PS5

    The PS5 console is able to support a variety of wired, wireless, or Bluetooth keyboards and mouse. The easiest way to get started is to connect a keyboard and mouse to your PS5 by plugging them into the USB ports on the back of the console. If you’re a bit short on USB ports, we recommend plugging in a USB hub and plugging in your keyboard and mouse later.

    For the time being, however, there are no PS5 games that support them: to be able to use them, you will then have to select PS4 games that are compatible with the PS5 and also use apps such as Netflix, YouTube, Spotify.

    If you don’t like seeing wires scattered around the house and want to tidy up, you can use the wireless Bluetooth link to connect your keyboard and mouse to your PS5. This is a much cleaner and easier alternative.

    Here’s how to connect Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse on PS5:

    • To turn on the Bluetooth in PS5, select the Settings gear icon located in the upper left corner.
    • Now scroll down and select “Accessories”, then select “Bluetooth Accessories” in the “General” section.
    • At this point, put the Bluetooth keyboard or mouse into pairing mode to allow it to connect to the console.
    • Once the mouse or keyboard is connected, go to the “Keyboard” or “Mouse” section in “Accessories” to change its settings.
    • As for the mouse you can, for example, select the speed of the pointer or set it to be used by a left-handed.

    In some cases, the Bluetooth connection between the keyboard or mouse and the console may not be as stable and satisfactory. That’s why you might opt ​​for a wireless keyboard or mouse that comes with a 2.4 GHz wireless USB dongle. For example, Logitech’s Unifying USB Receiver can help you to connect a compatible Unifying mouse or keyboard more easily.

    That is everything you need to know about how to use a keyboard and mouse with PS5. For more PS5 Tips and Tricks, check out our other guides on How to Connect PS5 Controller to PC, and the Best Streaming Apps for PS5.
