Xbox – Is it possible to play games on Playstation 4 / Xbox One with keyboard and mouse

ps4xbox-one

I play games on my laptop. I tried playing on a PS3 and Xbox 360 on my friend's consoles and I am not at all comfortable with the controllers. Actually, I lost every round so I can't play.

Can I connect a keyboard and mouse to the new PS4 or Xbox One and play games? Is it possible?

Best Answer

The PS3 and PS4 both support keyboards and mice, the Xbox 360 only supports keyboard but not mice, and the Xbox One doesn't appear to support either for now. It is said that the Xbox One might eventually get support for keyboard and mouse with Windows 10 for Xbox.

Unfortunately, the games need to support keyboard and mouse as well, and not many do. Games that support those peripherals include Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3) which also supports mods, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn (PS3 & PS4), Dust 514, and apparently War Thunder (PS4) too.

In the end, keyboard and mouse support on PS3/PS4 is mainly useful for browsing the internet, but they do support them nonetheless.
