The ability to use a keyboard and mouse instead of a controller on Sony’s PlayStation 5 expands player choice and control options. This input method can offer increased precision in certain game genres, mirroring the experience found on personal computers. The compatibility list continues to grow, offering more titles playable with these peripherals.
Employing a keyboard and mouse can significantly enhance aiming accuracy in first-person shooters and offer more efficient management of complex actions in strategy or simulation titles. The option allows players familiar with PC gaming to transition more seamlessly to the console environment. Over time, the range of titles offering native support has increased, responding to player demand and broadening the console’s appeal to a wider audience.
