Does Genshin Impact Support Mouse and Keyboard on PS4?

Last updated
Ever wondered if you can ditch the controller and use a mouse and keyboard while playing Genshin Impact on your PS4? Well, you’re not alone. This is a question many adventurers in Teyvat have on their minds.
Let’s get right into answering whether Genshin Impact is compatible with mouse and keyboard setups on PS4.
Answer: No Direct Support
Unfortunately, Genshin Impact does not natively support the use of mouse and keyboard on the PS4. This means you can’t just plug in a mouse and keyboard directly into your PS4 and expect them to work with Genshin Impact.
However, that doesn’t mean it’s completely impossible. Some players use external adapters that convert mouse and keyboard inputs into controller inputs. But, be mindful, these adapters are not officially endorsed by miHoYo (the game developers), and using them could potentially impact your gameplay experience or violate terms of service.
Why Stick with a Controller?
So, why would Genshin Impact not support mouse and keyboard on PS4? It’s mainly because the game was designed with a controller in mind for console players. The controls, camera angles, and overall gameplay experience are optimized for a controller. Plus, there’s something cozy about exploring Teyvat from your couch with a controller in hand.
Plus, playing with a controller offers a uniform experience across all platforms, ensuring that no player gets an unfair advantage in terms of controls.
