And it is that in some titles using keyboard and mouse could be harmful or beneficial, so in order not to alter online battles developers decide not to make the title compatible with keyboard and mouse. In other PS4 games, keyboard and mouse compatibility is something much more necessary, especially when we talk about adaptations of PC games or specific genres such as MMO.
How to connect the keyboard and mouse to PS4?
Using a keyboard and mouse on PS4 could not be easier. In fact, if we talk about peripherals that can be connected via USB cable, we will only have to connect them to the console. PS4 will automatically recognize these peripherals
If we talk about wireless keyboards, the process is a bit more complicated, but simple anyway. Accede to Devices and Bluetooth devices in the console menu. The console will scan the frequencies and search for nearby devices, having to follow the normal pairing process of any device. Once recognized, the PS4 will ask which user should use the device.
Access the keyboard settings, such as language, in Devices – External Keyboard.
What games are compatible with keyboard and mouse on PS4?
There is a certain amount of PS4 games that are compatible with keyboard and mouse and, in many cases, they will improve your experience.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
As the Activision game has cross-play, the developers of the war title have decided to match things a bit making it compatible with keyboard and mouse, which will affect the pairings.
Final Fantasy XIV
For any MMO in the world, although it is on consoles, the most correct and simple way to play it is using keyboard and mouse. Especially in a title designed for PC as Final Fantasy XIV.
Overwatch
The Blizzard Entertainment shooter is obviously a game designed for PC, in which its control scheme is perhaps a little better with keyboard and mouse. Especially if we talk about a player who already enjoyed it on PC and does not want to change his controls on PS4.
War thunder
Another title that also match the skill of your players with several control schemes is War Thunder, in which we will face intense air, land and naval fighting.
The Elder Scrolls Online
Again we talk about an MMO type title, so keyboards are very necessary not only for attacks and management, but also to speak comfortably in chats. Of course, it is only compatible with keyboard.
Neverwinter
The Cryptic Studios MMO also leaves us connect a keyboard – and not the mouse – to PS4 to enjoy the experience as comfortably as possible, considering that MMO players are accustomed to using keyboard.
DC Universe Online
Sony itself also takes advantage of the keyboard and mouse on PS4 for their titles. A good example is the MMO DC Universe Online, which only allows us to connect the keyboard.
