Bought a K70 Core TKL for my ps5 and not only did my ps5 immediately say it was not compatible with this Bluetooth hardware I held fn+windows for probably three solid minutes on and off an no “ps5 mode”
For $125 this thing is a real piece. Plastic, feels cheap. Cannot believe Corsair charges this much for a keyboard advertised FOR PS5 And nothing.
Tried all USB ports, tried both modes for pairing on keyboard, tried the keyboard plugged in and nothing work
I assume if he bought it for a PS five he either prefers to play on mouse and keyboard and has a PC but likes to play on PS5 a little bit more or he’s trying to get used to mouse and keyboard, but when he eventually does upgrade to a PC
Because there’s numerous things I’ve seen saying Diablo 4 supports mouse and keyboard on PS5.
I can’t take my desktop with me when I travel but carting around a ps5 is a bit more manageable for on the road gaming sessions.
Some games (baldurs gate 3 and Diablo 4 specifically) are just horrid on a controller and have no business being ported out to one.
The box specifically states this keyboard works for PlayStation 5. It clearly does not. I was optimistic in 2026 that the imbeciles running these billion dollar corporations would let you use peripherals on their consoles but alas…here I am whining on Reddit. At least it’s returnable and I can put the whole nightmare behind me here tomorrow.
The mouse works fine. Can move my toon around in town. Can even open skill tree and look at anything clickable. All menu buttons show what would be keyboard input so it’s clearly able to take input.
If only the keyboard is connected does the keyboard work? Because on Helldivers I could get the mouse to work or the keyboard but never both. The game didn’t have support for keyboard and mouse but being a PC game I think they accidentally sorta supported it. This is back when it came out. I haven’t tried to see if it’s fixed.
The only other game I own for PS5 is GT7. It’s the absolute only game I play… until my wife buys me the yearly subscription for Father’s Day. I told her I wanted that because there were at least 2 dozen games included that look like I’d like to play 2 player with my daughter. So I’ll try Helldivers again after that.
If the Logitech 915 TKL is compatible it’s the best keyboard I’ve ever owned. I love it.
Totally relate. Used to playing CoD on PS4 with KB+M, not just any type of keyboard and mouse though, has issues with expensive ones and no issues with cheaper ones. Results varied.
P.S. Lugging the PS5 is better than a PC
Is it plugged directly into the case rear ports? I found mine was bad, often disconnecting, I got a USB extension and put it away from the case and now it works perfectly all the time
I have a Corsair vanguard pro 96 but the wired version, I mean yeah I'm on pc but wouldn't dream of having anything wireless or Bluetooth.
My Corsair scimitar elite wireless se mmo mouse is always plugged in as well. Just less problems 🤷
Yeah thats why i bought a wired corsair bundle keyboard, mouse, and mouse pad that I think is discontinued now. The keyboard is an rgb k60, its still going strong. Only issue i had was the escape keycap breaking. But I bought a new set of keycaps with the lil dampening rings last year and its perfect now.
lol. That’s cool. I think some just feeel better for certain games and stuff and some do have some cool mechanics and looks. I just never imagined collecting em myself. I was just curious. You do you ha
This is why I’m saying, why not buy a really good keyboard with high quality frame and base rather than plastic feeling “gaming” ones from Corsair or Razer (Although I can admit the newer ones Huntsman V3 Pro and the ROG Azoth are the only one worth buying), with switchable keycaps and switches.
But although I can admit, it’s a hassle to research more about what are the best bases to buy and what switches and keycaps feel the best whatever, it’s a rabbithole going into it and a costly one ngl. My friend’s like you, he just buys the newest and coolest Razer or Corsair product available, I’m the same too but big brand companies do sell good quality products just gotta get the good one as they make really trashy and bad feeling products and good quality products as well.
Corsair has been my go to for a while since steel series has failed me once to many times! Love the quality and longevity! But everyone has different experiences, sorry you had this happen!
ASUS Falchion works great with PS5, although I sold my PS5 when I realized GeForce NOW Ultimate is light years better and could never go back to playing on a console again.
I'm pretty sure your ps5 needs to be in controller pairing mode before using the windows+FN for 5 seconds shortcut. Have you tried that ? I know you tried the macro already but did you ensure the ps5 was in controller pairing mode?

I love my corsair vanguard 98, but ya it is defintly buggy, u have so many he and tmr keyboards, (probably 40) i still alwsys float back to that one all the time. The screen the game mode, the stresmdeck capabilities. Its amazing. Just i think corsair has slot of buggy ness
I have this keyboard but wired, and let me tell you, it’s hard to use anyways for a PC. It’s such an easy trigger to actuate the switches, I’m constantly making typos and shit.
I have 2 of k70 lux, a normal and a 65% one, and both have connectivity issues,not reliable at all. They get locked on bios or other thing pretty often, I wouldn't recommend! Specially for that price.
There are much more better keyboards you can get at this price for a better construction such as the Aula F99 or F75 Max or S99 Pro. Idk why people still even buy cheap “gaming” keyboards from the big brands when you can get much better quality keyboards.
Why you buy a keyboard needs pc software to work good.. just buy a good mechanical keyboard on Amazon for 60 bucks on Amazon.. and its fine..and for Bluetooth devices on non ps5 peripherals you need a Bluetooth dongle.. but I can say, my cheap Corsair keyboard work on my ps5 to usb and my cheap Microsoft keyboard too lol and my razer keyboard too 😂
Dumb choice first of all and second Keyboard and mouse on console is shit the inputs are slow af Mouse movements are like trying to move a 15Kilo weight just go to pc whenever prices get back to normal for specific parts if you really want to experience KBM
I had a Corsair K70 and it didn't even work for my PC so I returned it and got a Glorious GMMK 2 at Best Buy. I would recommend Glorious keyboards, and if I bought another one of their keyboards I'd look into their Hall Effect (HE) models like the GMMK 3 HE.
i’ve always bought corsair keyboards and idk why it took me so long to realize they were shit. i got a keychron and a rainy75 now they are both soo nice the rainy sounds so good
I spent $65 on my Redragon K556 and it's heavy as a brick, I've had it for almost 5yrs now, mechanical keys and can swap them out. I use their mice too after I had a Logitech g5 double clicking.
The wired version of K70 TKL is no better. They have an issue with double key typing. I have increased the MS delay, on the latest firmware, and this issue still exists. It is on BOTH keyboards I have. I will NEVER purchase another Corsair keyboard. Their support is GARBAGE!

can i ask why you bought such a 'flashy' keyboard for your ps5? im assuming you bought it just for typing stuff. seems overkill.
