This should be supported natively by the ps5/remote play app. The ios and android remote play apps both have onscreen controls programmed in. No reason they couldn't just add support for a keyboard and mouse. For me, the point of remote play is that I can decide to play a game on a whim from anywhere, but if I don't just happen to be carrying around a ps5 controller (which is never) then I'm SOL.
Hard agree. This is just shitty service from Sony and game developers. Why not give console players access to PC controls on console (at the very least on single player games) when most games literally already have that control scheme on PC? I was excited to play the DOOM games with the ps plus subscription but it's so shit with a controller. I wonder why they even ported those games to console if they didn't plan to give console players access to kb+m controls? Really disappointing
Regarding the comments where are guys that say this doesn't work, just today I made everything Daniel showed us in this video, and works perfectly. In reWASD program at settings you have an option for PS remote play that you need to activate and you get a preset for keyboard and mouse settings that works fine if you don't want to customize them. Good luck, and Daniel, thank you so much for this video!
If Sony would actually release a next generation console that natively supported K&M, I’d purchase it in a heartbeat. The prices of motherboards, RAM, CPU’s & GPU’s is utterly insane nowadays. I’m a PC gamer, but mainly use a steam deck now, the combination of a trackpad & gyro is as a good as K&M, it’s like a mouse/gamepad combo. I ‘believe’ this is Valves next move, a PC/console hybrid, it’ll combine the price & simplicity of a console, with the freedom and controls of a PC. If the rumours are actually true, it will sell HUGE numbers as it’ll attract both PC & console gamers.
PlayStation does natively support KBM. Most game developers choose not to implement it. Sony would have to force all devs to add it as an optional control scheme which I'm sure they will never do but I hope it becomes more common. Valve already has a Linux based console; it's the Steam Deck. They tried a regular console form factor already with the Steam Machine and it was a failure.
Alot of games are cross play and already have the configurations. It is 2024 get with the fuggin program sony, for God's sake if I wanna use my frying pan or my broom as a Controller there should be an option... doesn't have to be Bluetooth, I'll take damn cord. I just want my hands to be able to move after I'm done gaming. They got old injuries that get grumpy after hr or 2. No issues with m&kb though.
All you had to do was connect your controller to your PC via Cable/Bluetooth and it wouldn't kick you out. After a recent update to 5.5.0, KB&M is also supported for a select few games.
This is great I wanted to play Street Fighter 6 on PS5 with Keyboard. Still testing but seems to work well with this method for just keyboard. Thank you!
Bought the Ps5 8 months ago, I got insurgency sandstorm, far cry 6, battlefield, last of us... just to realize I really suck when it comes to aiming with a controller. I tried your method and it only work while using an older version of ps remote app, the 5.50 one. You just revive my ps5 and been playing all day insurgency sandstorm, I only play coop against bot, and I had 80 kills and 2 death in one game, my best record before that was 20 kills maybe while shooting full auto all over the place, now I single tap, headshots lmao. It is not like the same as a real mouse gameplay, maybe 80% of it, there's no lag for me, plan is to buy a good mouse this week. Thank you so much!
Bro, i just want to say thankyou for all your information and efforts that you made. It work perfectly on my PS5 and I am gonna continue to have wasd-mouse-aim experience on other single-fps game. Thanks a lot!
Yeah for the mouse unfortunately you have to unlock it with $7 fee, to enable mouse configuration. They changes that last year since I made the video…still with it tho
is REwasd safe? My Norton Internet Security WON'T let me download it. Outright blocking and cancelling the download as unsafe and malicious. I was hoping to use a mouse for aiming via remote play to beat a mini game in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth which I can't do with a controller due to the lack of precision.
@@DPDanielPlays Yeah, I've been trying it out for a few days now and its just what I needed:) Dunno why its got a bad rap with norton safe web. Will be buying the full package before my Trial runs out. Cheers.😃
Problem with this is the mouse doesnt work like a mouse. Its super janky and slow and doesnt move very well. No way to do clean smooth turns or aiming with this. Huge waste of time and effort. I assume that DanielPlays realized this which is why we don't get any examples of turning effectively in the video only movement forward and back.
Does it work exactly the same as a mouse on a PC? No. Does it work good enough for most single player games? Hell yeah. You can see me using it through my entire God of War game (which you can see in my steaming live library) and it works like a charm. Smooth turning and aiming. Just gotta tweak the acceleration to fit your preferences. Listen, for a guy like me who is absolutely useless with a controller, this is the only way I get to play PS exclusives, and it does a good enough job to allow me to enjoy these games without suffering with a controller.
If you use a good quality mouse and a proper gaming monitor than the mouse will work like a mouse, if you use it on a tv - it'll never feel good. Also, i use m&k directly without any connector - i only play games that support m&k.
What about the sound, did you listen from the remote PLAY or from the PlayStation5, and is there a difference? Or do you suggest that I connect the PlayStation audio directly to the computer?
That’s a good question! When I’m steaming I use Elgato capture card which translates the PS5 sounds through HDMI into my computer, to make sure video and audio can be streamed through streamlabs. When I’m not streaming however, I just listen to the PS5 sound coming out of my TV…the remote play solely serves one purpose and that’s to translate the controls from a controller to my mouse and keyboard
every time I hit apply, it prompts me to restart my pc which defeats the purpose of this thing, I havent done so yet and the remap has not worked even remotely. nothing happens even tho I am using the PS4 remote play 2023 profile...is there one for PS5? or do I need to set this up manually somehow? thanks for the advice
@@tundetaha9129 I did actually, thanks. Getting the mouse sensitivity to a comfortable level is taking some fiddling around, but Im getting the hang of it and honestly, this app is amazing. At some point after the 3rd or fourth time I restarted it started working, but I had selected the wrong keyboard, once I changed it to the correct one it worked perfectly, I even have a logitech controller attached which I can switch to just by using it instead of KbM.
Thanks for the video, it will help a lot of players! (More expensive way:) Remote play, using mnk on xim with beloader, threw xim controller app, using a official supported 3rd party ps5 controller, like nacon, to remap mnk - if you don't want lag & remove remoteplay, run ps4 versions. There's a way to avoid using remote play using this method in the dev forums, but it got complicated & I didn't return to learn. If I figure out the rest I will post help.
Oh yeah there are many ways, the one with beloader is quite common, but I wanted a cheap and “simple” way, which this turned out to be. Might not be fast enough for competitive fps esports, but for normal single player gaming it’s perfect 🤩
@@DPDanielPlays Definitely & you gave a great solution that will get mnk players to enjoy ps5 more. We don't have enough available content like this around; You are really great at presenting stuff! Instant sub from me :D
how do we turn in remote play without a controller ? i recently sent in my controller for repairs when the store workers said i can use remote play without them telling i should enable it first
Honestly man I haven’t noticed any significant delay. I already have a 30ms lag on my TV even while using gaming mod, so that’s the only “delay” I could really feel. I have both my PS5 and PC connected via cable to the same network, so that’s adding to the decreased lag between the two.
So we need a gaming computer capable of handling the graphics or is the playstation doing all the work and any old laptop would do? PS GreaT work figuring this out. Old PC gamer who only plays FPS on PS5 that are mouse compatible and it's so restrictive :/
So... Only way to play any PS5 with mouse and keyboard is over PC ? I need to have PC turned on all the time to play PS5 games with mouse and keyboard? ( unless if the mouse and keyboard is supported by PS5 specific game ). Thanks!
honest question how does you neck not hurt looking up at tv with mouse and keyboard on desk do you have like a desk that goes on your lap and you recline a chair or something? also some games have native keyboard and mouse control so no need for remote play you can look up a list online of ps5 games playable with keyboard and mouse.
just to let you know bro you helped my friend's kid be very happy today thank you man it felt amazing sharing your video to them and seeing that much happiness from him .. i know you'll be happy too
Can you use a keyboard and controller the same time? Like gaming controller and typing for chat with keyboard? I find it pretty hard in ingame chat to type with the controller
Yeah well my PS5 wont connect via Remote play... same network, same account, both connected, 100 mbps internet... Still gives me an error that it cant find my PS5... (remote play enabled, tried to re-login multiple times, restart, all up to date... nothing
hey man.. its not working for me.. i checked the subreddit and they said you need an USB 2.0 to do this.. its completely different now.. can you make a new video about this? Thanks.. it would be appreciated and a lot more people would watch it too.. :)
I just try it and I saw the full video on how to set it up but now its different on how its shown on the other video of like 3 or 4 years old on how to set it up
How is the results using Wi-Fi and some first person shooters with this, I'm tempted to try as I have PS5 and Xim Apex without use (used it with Xbox natively before). Is this also working on Mac?
Hi Daniel Could you confirm if my pc has to be good enough for the game i need to play on PS5 via remote play e.g likes of Farcry 5, GOW Ragnarok. I have an old i3 3rd generation dell Laptop.
You can have a garbage PC. As long as it can run remote play and reWASD at the same time (which is literally every PC), you should be good. As all the work is done by internet connection and the PS5
Update, reWSAD is not just $7. Its $7 for lifetime updates and an additional $7ea for Advanced mapping, button combos, multiple slots, rapid fire, radial menu and mobile control. Clever marketing
Yeah man reWASD is definitely not user friendly 😂 I struggled quite a bit myself, and I do consider myself reasonably tech savvy. Anyways, here is a link to my config, hope that helps! www.rewasd.com/community/config/23411fc78f3b279c6b6a79c87e792e77
It doesn't work, I tried it, you left out the part where when the remote PC is connected, the keyboard from the computer is activated and it is impossible to start the keyboard and the mouse from the application, I followed the detailed instructions and too complicated
I didn't leave that out. I said, you can just CTRL,ALT,DEL combination out of the app after launching remote play, so you can set up the rest of the app while the remote play is running.
This remote play thing looks like very promising for us who only want play single player games with mouse and keyboard on ps5. Is there a chance to set up this concept on mobile device? cuz i dont have good PC. But ps remote play works great on mobile devices..
I’m not sure to be honest. I think as long as reWASD works on your mobile device, then I can imagine it working the same way. But the whole thing hangs on being able to translate PS5 controls onto whatever device you’re actually using to play the game (pc and m&k for me), which is done through the reWASD program. If you can get that program on your mobile device, I think you might have a shot
I don't think you would need a good pc, since it's remote play, so it's basically streaming. This should work fine on any PC, if you can get it to work.
i tried.. and its bad. The Best option still using Xinapex with ps5 controler via PC ( via Remote Play) ... to TURN on the ps5 controller via the XIM you need a 3.1 (or better ) USB on your motherboard..mines is red one
Just a few corrections.. it's not a free solution because it costs money. And you do lose quality going via PS Remote Play because the max resolution on that software is only 720p. Look at the difference in contrast between your ace TV and the PS Remote Play window.. Still a good hack though! I think PS5 need to support this natively.
The thing is, I’m not actually watching the ps play screen. I’m watching the PS5 screen so I’m still at 4K. The only reason why I have PS play running (in the background) is as the control vessel for the rewasd to control the game.
Do you need to plug in the keyboard into the ps5 or the pc ? I am asking, because if I do it like you described it, nothing happens and the game just wont react to whatever I hit on the keyboard.
Yeah you do, because the only thing that makes this whole setup work is the reWASD remapping program that runs on your PC, not on your PS5. So you are technically controlling the PS5 through your PC, and in the PC you are translating the controller commands to mouse and keyboard.
So I can play Last of Us on PS5 with my razer mouse and even using my favorite cheat button to switch mouse sensitivity during the game action (which works with Razer software on a PC)? ))
Can I use just any keyboard and mouse for this? I have a wireless noname mouse and a wired noname keyboard. And do I need to have a special external usb port or does it work with the normal usb slots on the pc? Also, the PS5 and TV are in another room and I want to play via my monitor because that has 4k and the TV does not. But that doesn't seem to be an issue as far as I understand. Edit: It't not 7 Dollars (or Euro in my case) but double the price, because mapping has to be bought extra. Without the mapping its kinda worthless for that case...
yes any KMB would work and as he stated you are playing on the PS5 so theres no input lag is false, you are playing on the computer via remote play so its possible for input lag which has been my experience even with a PS5 dual sense. To be fair I have not tested this app but I will with the 7 day free trial.
You could’ve connected to remote play using a different user profile. Then you could sign into your account with the controller. PlayStation will still be s streaming
CAn you put the link for the xim apex adapter? I play on ps4 but I use mouse and keyboard on cod and fortnite but for some games it doesn't let me use my mouse and keyboard. Also because I use my headset since my controller is not wireless and both of y mice and keyboard are connected to both of my ps4 usb ports.
It should work with anything as long as you can get it to work with one game, but honestly, considering the ridiculous levels of aim assist re4 has you're better off with a controller (that's coming form a guy that can't stand playing with controllers. Same applies for The Last of us Part 2.) I'm interested in this for games such as Forbidden west, God of War, which don't have any real aim assist
For games that support M&K you should be able to connect the wireless mouse directly to PS5. That hasn’t been working for me though, so if you follow the steps in the video and have the wireless mouse connected to the PC, you should be golden.
He says he cant find a video that does everything he needs but I cant find a video where they just get right to it instead of giving me their life's story first. This is like those recipe sites. Where's my "jump to stfu and tell me what i want" button.
This still doesn’t make sense. How can I access my PlayStation with remote play if I have to go on the PlayStation to enable it with a controller 🤦🏾♂️
I don't understand, it seems to me that reWASD only works with ps4 controllers, not ps5, but in your video the Dual-sense option is visible among other 14 controller types, while I can see less options and no dual-sense. Or maybe it doesn't matter?
That's a bit above my paygrade mate, but if I had to bet, I would say it doesn't matter. Both PS4 and PS5 controllers use the same commands and have the same actions, so as long as PS5 is connected through the PS Remote Play, it should recognize the PS5 controller actions.
@@DPDanielPlays fortunately it does work for me now, I'm trying to play Elden Ring (running on Ps5) on remote play using my laptop keyboard and mouse. Mouse movement tho is so janky
@@BennyUKBoy Did you have any luck? I tried it last night spent 3-4 hours installing windows on my mac with boot loader and configuring all this. Just to try FPS games (PUBG, Battlefield...) with Kbd + Mouse but it is not recognizing any inputs for me neither from Kbd nor from mouse. Did the same steps as mentioned in video. 1. Configured REWASD 2. Launched the game on PS5. 3. Connected remote play 4. Did apply input Bindings were muted but nothing happened on screen. Gonna try again tonight, wish me luck.
@@unholypilgrim Can you tell me what usb hub you have please? Apparently a usb 1.1 or 2.0 (3.0 doesn't work) hub is required for this to work. I don't even think you need to plug the mouse and keyboard into it, just for it to be plugged in the PC (not sure about that one). Thanks in advance
Not for me, in most single player RPGs. Haven't tested it in competitive FPS, but for non competitive single player gameplay it's barely noticeable if that.
Has anyone tested this on a fighting game? I want to use a keyboard for MK1 but got the game on PS5 to be able to share with some friends. The author here says no delay, but even 2f of lag could be pretty disadvantageous
It definitely should work for the game. Now for the delay, I literally feel like the delay is more coming from my TVs input lag than a lag between the controls being captured by the Remote Play and reflected on the screen. But yeah it’s so close to playing on a PC that I really can’t tell the difference.
but how is the mouse speeds tho ? like does it work normally when moving your mouse slow and wide and normally when flicking your mouse ? .... I only ask cause I've used a similar program called REPL4Y and idk why but flicking your mouse moves very little distance but moving it slow accelerates it like crazzzzy. and I've been playing around with the settings for multiple days and still no success.... so I might wanna give reWASD a chance
Yeah you can set up the sensitivity in detail pretty well. Does it work exactly like mouse? No. But it’s damn close when you set up the acceleration correctly
I don't think your PC Graphic card controls what resolution can you see in Remote Play. I assume you are using PS5, not PS4 (PS4 can only show 720p), if that's the case, the next reason could be the network speed. If there isn't enough signal between your PS5 and the PC, 720p might be the best you can get. Regardless however, the Remote Play is there just to allow you to control the PS5, you are actually watching the game on the TV connected to the PS5, so it doesn't matter if it's showing it in Remote Play as 360p, it's just a tool to translate the commands from your PC to the PS5.
@@DPDanielPlays oh ok , yeah i am using the old router, i'll plug in the new one today (AX58U) on LAN and hopefully issue will resolve. Other than That, Iam only seeing KEYBOARD notification on remote play, why is that? shouldn't i be getting keyboard and mouse as well? i have steelseries APEX pro mini and Viper V2 pro both connected wirelessly to my PC. If i connect their dongles (steelseries and razer viper) on PS5, none of them even get detected
Thanks for the tutorial! I have got a problem. I want to use mouse in a chess game. This game has mouse control in PC Steam, but I don’t think it has any mouse pointer designed in the game for PS5. Do you think I can still use (create?) mouse in a game like this? By the way, in another game, GTA5, after hit “apply” in ReWASD, I still cannot use mouse in the game. Do I just miss something? Should I put my bluetooth mouse receiver on PS5 or PC? What did I do wrong? Thanks
You should still be able to use the mouse in the chess game. It would just replace your ps controller sticks and maybe move slower, but it should work. Definitely don’t connect your receiver to the PS5, that will defeat the whole purpose of running reWASD. Have it connected to the PC, and if the mouse ain’t working after you hit apply, make sure your acceleration and axis are properly set up in the mouse settings in reWASD. I think the mouse portion has to be unlocked with like a one time $7 fee, that’s what I had to do, otherwise it wouldn’t let me map my mouse and adjust the acceleration for it to be useful. Hope that helps!
@@DPDanielPlays Hi, thanks for explanation. I re-watched your video, but my English listening skill is not very good. Right now I tried to download controls of GTA5 under the ReWASD community, but when I entered GTA5, I still could not use my mouse and keyboard to control the game. Not even trying that chess game. I think I miss some parts of your video, and I don’t know what part I did wrong. Could you please simply write down the key steps here for me? Thank you so much!
@@DPDanielPlays Actually, I just found a weird thing: I put the BT keyboard receiver on my laptop, and while remote playing, it showed on the PS5 screen that the “BT keyboard” was connected, but there was no mouse showing. And beforetime I also noticed that my mouse would not showing the icon as a “mouse” on my PS5, but a “keyboard icon” on the interface.
Not sure, but my controller has never been plugged, just wireless through Bluetooth. But you can completely disconnect it and you’d still be fine. Once you use reWASD to remap the commands to k&m you are good to go
I just can't get the mouse to feel any good.. I know that it's just emulating the stick, but still it feels absolutely horrible. It feels way too floaty and anything that requires precision is basically impossible unfortunately. Not the fault of the devs of the software ofc, just how it works
I definitely wouldn't use this for a competitive FPS. While I agree with your "floaty" feeling compared to using M&K on a computer, as long as it's single player RPG games like God of War or Horizon, it's good enough imo.
setting up good M+KB to Dual Sense controls is such a pain in the ass.Then if you download a premade config you have to sit there and figure out what each button is and get used to that. I just gave up. Ill buy a new controller
I can't understand why Sony and Microsoft doesn't add Mouse & Keyboard support on console games. On PC you can use Controller, Mouse & Keyboard.. It's not a big deal.. For so many years i do not play on consoles because i can't play shooters with Controller. This sucks and make the games unplayable for me
@@DPDanielPlays I'm trying to play horizon forbidden west on my PS5. I've tried both the PS5 and PS4 versions of the game but I can't get mouse and keyboard working in-game. I know with the latest version of rewasd, you have to use a virtual device that mimics a ds4 so the game has to support ds4 which I thought forbidden west did but it does not. Does horizon forbidden west still work with your mouse and keyboard and if so, which versions of rewasd and ps remote play are you using?
