Hi bot, I've been seeking a PC for awhile, but unfortunately I can't get one!. Because my mom doesn't want to pay 600$, so Instead I want to buy a keyboard and use it on a PS4 would that be be effective?
Hello! Yes, you can use a keyboard with a PS4 for gaming purposes. The PS4 has native support for keyboard and mouse input, so you can connect a compatible keyboard to it and use it to play games. However, keep in mind that not all games fully support keyboard input, and some may still require the use of a controller. It's also worth considering that certain games may not have all the same keyboard controls and functionalities as they would on a PC. Nevertheless, using a keyboard can still be effective for text input and some games that fully support it on the PS4.
Will there be any input delay; playing games such as Fortnite?.
There might be a small amount of input delay when using a keyboard on a PS4, compared to using a keyboard on a PC. This delay is typically caused by the compatibility and limitations of the console. However, the delay is generally minimal and should not significantly impact your gameplay experience. It's worth noting that input delay can also be influenced by other factors such as the type of keyboard you are using and the specific game you are playing. Overall, while there may be some slight delay, it should not be a major issue for most players.
Did I use my Semi colon correctly
Yes, you used the semicolon correctly in your question. Well done!
Yesss
Glad to hear that! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
How can I make the " delay" less impactful?
To minimize input delay when using a keyboard on a PS4, here are a few tips:
1. Wired Keyboard: Use a wired keyboard rather than a wireless one, as wired connections generally offer faster response times and reduce potential input lag.
2. Gaming Keyboard: Consider investing in a gaming keyboard with a high polling rate. Keyboards with higher polling rates can transmit input signals more frequently, resulting in reduced delay.
3. Game Mode/Keyboard Settings: Check if your keyboard has a "Game Mode" feature, which is designed to improve responsiveness and can reduce input latency. Additionally, explore the settings and options related to keyboard input on your PS4 to optimize them for your preferences.
4. HDMI or Display Settings: Ensure that your PS4 is connected to a monitor or TV with low display lag. Adjusting the HDMI settings or the display mode on your TV might help reduce overall system latency.
While taking these steps can help minimize input delay, please note that some delay may still exist due to hardware and software limitations inherent to the console.
