These PS5 games have mouse keyboard options


Now that we have entered the era of the Playstation 5, it is time to see which PS5 games we can play with a mouse and keyboard. The mouse keyboard option was available on the PS4, but it was not very optimal.

Perhaps you have used it: the mouse and keyboard option for your PlayStation 4. This option is not possible with every game and the range of possible games on the PS4 is scarce. For example, without an adapter you couldn’t play Overwatch with a mouse and keyboard. Even if you had such an adapter, it did not always work for everyone.

A few games where it was possible were War Thunder and Final Fantasy XIV. Why this mouse keyboard option is not possible for other games is because many game developers believe that keyboard and mouse players in console lobbies have an unfair advantage.

Now it is of course time for the PlayStation 5. Can you also use a mouse keyboard setup on it? Well not for all games, but for a few this is possible! For example Warzone and War Thunder.

Few PS5 mouse keyboard games

It is very confusing which games you can play with mouse keyboard on the PS5. Mouse and Keyboard is possible for games such as Warzone, because they have the cross-play option. In the Warzone menu you can enable the mouse keyboard option before your game starts. You will then automatically be thrown into a PC pool. War Thunder also has this option, so you don’t need an adapter to connect a mouse and keyboard. Another game that can be played with a mouse keyboard on the PS5 is Planet Coaster.

Now that many games are switching to crossplay, we can assume that more and more games will be added that can be played on mouse and keyboard. It is unclear which games these will be.

Before you buy a game on your PS5 because you think it can be played with a mouse and keyboard, first check whether it really is. Most of the lists that Google presents you with include games for which you need an adapter costing 100 euros or perhaps more. With other games such as Rainbow Six Siege and The Division it may seem as if they can be played with a mouse keyboard, but unfortunately this is not true.

Magic Keyboard USB-C port on iPad Pro doesn’t seem to charge with all third-party adapters


In our first impressions and full review of the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro, we highlighted it: the accessory gives the iPad an additional USB-C charging port. This way, we can use it to charge the device at the same time as we use an external storage unit in the built-in port, for example.

however, it seems that charging from this port does not work with all adapters and third-party cables even if they are certified. This is what some users discovered on the MacRumors forums, a medium that ended up highlighting it on its cover.

Our test results

I myself tested with the charging port of my iPad Pro (2020 11 inch model) and my Magic Keyboard and here is what I found:

  • Charging via Magic Keyboard’s USB-C port it’s correct if I use the official 18W cable and AC adapter.
  • Charging via Magic Keyboard’s USB-C port It’s not correct if I am using a USB-C cable from Amazon Basics and an Anker AC adapter with multiple USB ports. The message you can see appears in the image above in the upper right corner of the iPadOS:  » do not charge«
  • Charging via Magic Keyboard’s USB-C port it’s correct If I am using an Amazon Basics USB-C cable and an official 12W AC adapter included in older iPad models.

  • Charging via Magic Keyboard’s USB-C port it’s correct if I use an Amazon Basics USB-C cable and the official 18W power adapter.

  • Charging via Magic Keyboard’s USB-C port It’s not correct if I am using an Amazon Basics USB-C cable and an Amazon Basics power adapter with multiple USB ports. The message « appearsthis accessory is not compatible with this device“On the iPadOS lock screen.

Personally, I attribute this to a matter of wattage of these adapters, it is possible that the Magic Keyboard has slightly higher requirements than the USB-C port on the iPad itself. This port accepts charging on all cables and adapters I mentioned, although in some of them it is very slow come and take almost a whole night.

It’s possible that a software update could change that, but for now the best thing we can do is use the official cables and adapters to charge the iPad Pro through its magic keyboard. Otherwise, consider using at least those that have MFi certification to avoid the risks.
