PS4 CFW and Hacks

Following the PS4Macro Utility and PS4 DS4 Controller to PC Mouse Python Script, developer @starshinata made available on Github a free PS4 Keyboard and Mouse Adapter App that allows you to play games on your PlayStation 4 using a keyboard and mouse without any controller required.

Download: PS4 Keyboard and Mouse Adapter Setup.exe (Latest Version) / PS4-Keyboard-and-Mouse-Adapter-master.zip / GIT

Here's more from the README.md: PS4 Keyboard and Mouse Adapter

I didn't expect a single person to find out about this repo but you guys somehow did, so I added a UI, made the configuration process more user-friendly, and also created a setup for those of you that don't know how to build the code and just want to play.

If you think something doesn't work or is not good enough, don't get too mad at me and don't hesitate to tell me about it in our Discord server or create an issue here.

(if you come up with a sexier name, feel free to give me suggestions [and no, I don't like "IPS4 X" ])

PS4 Keyboard and Mouse Adapter v1.0.3:

• PS4KeyboardAndMouseAdapter-1.0.3-delta.nupkg
• PS4KeyboardAndMouseAdapter-1.0.3-full.nupkg

Change log:

• Added mappings for L1, R1, L3, R3, and Touchpad buttons
• Various bug fixes

How to use:

Just download and run it. It will automatically do all the configuration stuff for you (if you get into trouble and need help, join the discord server I linked above).

To-do list:

• Make mouse settings configurable
• Improve the UI
• Fix a nasty injection crash that appears when dealing with RemotePlay that has been patched by another software
