Best PlayStation Keyboard And Mouse 2021: How To Use With PS4 And PS5

If you're planning to play with a mouse and keyboard but not give up the comfort of your couch, then you're going to want a lapboard. Razer makes probably the best one out there in the Razer Turret. Don't be put off by the Xbox branding--this wireless keyboard-and-mouse combo works just fine on PlayStation consoles with its 2.4GHz dongle. The price is a little steep at $250, but this is an all-in-one package with a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard, a retractable, magnetic mousepad, and a mouse with a profile very similar to Razer's DeathAdder. It comes with a docking station for charging and very comfortable padding on the bottom for long gaming sessions, making it an ideal fit if a controller just isn't doing it for you anymore.

Another option if you're interested in what Razer has to offer is the company's All-Star Gaming Bundle, which includes a keyboard, mouse, and headset again. This time you get the Razer Ornata V2 RGB, which is a membrane keyboard with some slim clicking elements to replicate the feel of a true mechanical keyboard. The Razer Viper ambidextrous mouse is included along with the excellent Blackshark V2, which is one of the most comfortable headsets around. You'll also get a large Gigantus V2 XXL mousepad, which might be perfect if you're planning to play PlayStation on a desk.

Corsair offers a great combo deal on the K55 keyboard with the Harpoon RGB gaming mouse, both in wired variants. The K55 is a membrane keyboard with three-zone lighting, which makes it a little less robust in the RGB department. But with a detachable wrist rest and media controls, it has everything you need for good, comfortable gaming sessions. The Harpoon mouse is also a great choice, with up to 60 hours of playtime on a charge, six programmable buttons, a lightweight 99g build, and a 6000 DPI sensor for great tracking. At this price, you'll struggle to find a better bundle.

Since pretty much every wired keyboard will work with both PS4 and PS5, you have a large range of great gaming keyboards to choose from. But many of these require PC software to get the best out of them, which makes the HyperX Alloy Origins Core a great compromise. It features lovely mechanical switches, including HyperX's own tactile aqua switches, as well as on-board memory that allows you to flick through programable profiles without needing to be linked to proprietary software. This means you can set up three different lighting or macro profiles on a PC and have those transfer over for your use on PlayStation. At $90, it's also a great price for a solid keyboard, although you will need to be fine with a tenkeyless design.

On the front of great wireless keyboard options, the Logitech G613 ticks many of the boxes. Firstly, it's wireless with two connection options, both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth, which gives you flexibility when it comes to using it for both PlayStation gaming and work. It features Logitech's Romer-G mechanical switches, which are somewhere between a traditional tactile and clicky switch. There's no backlighting to speak of, but you do get a solid (albeit plastic) build that will stand the test of time and a built-in wrist rest for comfort. Two AA batteries are all you'll need to get going--according to Logitech, that should provide around 18 months of use.

The Razer DeathAdder is as timeless as it gets when it comes to gaming mice, with Razer's most popular design having endured for over a decade. This latest version brings several improvements, including a new sensor, faster mechanical switch, eight programmable buttons, and Razer's SpeedFlex cable that will make it feel wireless while offering the response times of being wired. It's as low fuss as a reliable gaming mouse can get, making it a perfect choice for long play sessions on PlayStation.

If you aren't looking to spend close to $100 for just a mouse and don't want any wires, then this budget Corsair wireless gaming mouse might be perfect. It uses a 2.4GHz dongle for strong and seamless wireless connections, weighs just 96g, and works off a single AA battery that is rated to last over 135 hours of playtime. It also features Bluetooth connectivity, so when latency isn't an issue, you could even use the Katar Pro Wireless for work on the go or at your desktop.

The Couchmaster Cycon 2 doesn't come with a keyboard and mouse. Instead, it's an ultra-comfortable docking station, providing a USB hub for your keyboard and mouse and then connecting wirelessly to your PlayStation. It offers a lot of space for you to nestle into on your couch, giving you armrests that are omitted on many other lapboard options. For that, it's priced considerably higher at $180, while still requiring you to provide your own peripherals as well. But it's a great option if comfort is as paramount to your gaming as your choice of input device.
