Play Rocket League with mouse and keyboard on PS4?


Can you actually play Rocket League with a keyboard on the PS4? What about mouse and keyboard support in Rocket League on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5? Even though Rocket League was released in July 2015, the game from Psyonix is ​​still very popular. If you once played the game on the PC and have now switched to the console, you might also like to use the PC controls on the console. Since you could connect a mouse and keyboard to the PS4 or PS5, you should actually be able to play Rocket League with the keyboard, right?

Can you play Rocket League with a keyboard on PlayStation 4?

The short answer is, no, the console version of Rocket League does not currently offer mouse/keyboard support. By the way, this not only applies to the PS4, but also to the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One versions. This means that you cannot play Rocket League with the keyboard on the PlayStation 4, at least in the current version. The only option here is currently a gamepad mouse adapter such as Xim4 or Xim Apex. The adapter emulates the controller signal and you can use the mouse and keyboard in games even if, like Rocket League, they do not offer official mouse-keyboard support. According to reports, the keyboard controls in Rocket League via an adapter are mediocre to barely playable (especially if you play competitively).

Since Rocket League is still being developed and new features are regularly added, the console version may sooner or later receive official mouse and keyboard support. If there is new information about this, we will of course add it here in this article.

Tip: This is how you can transfer your Rocket League account from the PS4 to the PC (in case you change your mind and can no longer handle controller controls).
