Gaming keyboards for the PS5 range from wired USB-only keypads to multi-mode wireless models. Common wireless options include Bluetooth (e.g., Bluetooth 5.0) and 2.4 GHz RF, and many models also support USB connections (including USB-C).
PS5-compatible keyboards come in a range of sizes, from small PC-style keypads with roughly 26 keys up to compact mechanical keyboards in 75% and 96%/99-key layouts — giving options from minimal keypads to near-full compact boards.
Several compact mechanical keyboards feature hot-swappable PCBs that accept 3‑pin or 5‑pin switches. Many models ship with pre-lubricated linear or other switch types installed out of the box.
Several compact wireless keyboards can pair with up to five devices and typically let you switch between them using Fn-key combinations or a dedicated side button.
Compact gaming keyboards commonly include multifunction controls such as a volume or multifunction knob, backlight controls, and programmable keys. They also typically support macro assignment for custom shortcuts.
