How do you use your mouse and keyboard on the PS5?

You can connect a gaming headset to your PlayStation 5, as well as a mouse and keyboard. This is a great solution when you're more of a PC gamer with a mouse and keyboard, because aiming is more difficult with a PS5 controller. In this article, we'll explain how to connect a mouse and keyboard to your PlayStation 5.
  1. Connect mouse and keyboard in 2 steps
  2. Step 1: connect a mouse and keyboard
  3. After pairing
  4. Step 2: set up your mouse and keyboard

Gaming setup

You need your PlayStation 5, keyboard, and mouse for the connection. Keep in mind that the PlayStation 5 only has 2 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port. Are you already using a port on your PS5? We recommend a USB hub.
