Console Keyboard & Mouse Support Finder

Says which console games accept a keyboard and mouse, and how.

Dataset loaded. Every positive or negative claim must carry a primary source.

Important: console UI recognition is not the same as native gameplay support. Unverified does not mean unsupported.

Words on this page
Physical key code

The identity of a key by its position on the board, not the letter printed on it. It is what games bind to, which is why a key can act the same on a QWERTY and an AZERTY layout.

HID / WebHID

The standard language input devices speak to a computer, and the browser feature that lets a page read it directly. It exposes what the device itself reports, not what a driver decided to show.

What the result actually measures

The finder does not probe a console. It filters a maintained evidence dataset by game, console and support level, then displays the source, verification date, scope and exact uncertainty.

Measurement boundary: Game patches, console firmware, region and game mode can change behavior. “Unverified” means Keymap lacks a current primary source, not that support is absent.

How to interpret the output

Native play

A current primary source documents mouse/keyboard control in gameplay for the stated platform scope.

Limited

Only menus, chat, one device, one mode or another constrained path is documented.

Unverified

No adequate current primary source is in the shipped dataset; no yes/no claim is made.

Troubleshooting unexpected results

Device works in console UI only

System-level recognition does not prove a game implements gameplay input. Check the game-specific source and settings.

Prompts switch repeatedly

Disconnect unused devices, inspect game input-lock settings and test the mouse, keyboard and controller separately.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the list intentionally small?

A short sourced list is safer than a large copied list with stale or mode-specific claims.

Does an adapter count as native support?

No. The finder tracks documented native input and does not endorse translation adapters.

Can support change?

Yes. Every row includes a verified date and source so readers can recheck the current state.
