Control on and off
- F10 turns control on and off. While it is on, your mouse and keyboard play on your console. When it is off, they work on your computer as usual.
- Emergency key on Windows and Linux: Ctrl + Alt + Backspace. Emergency key on a Mac: Control + Option + Delete. All buttons and sticks go neutral, pending mouse movement is dropped and your computer gets the mouse and keyboard back.
- Control also lets go when another window comes to the front or the connection drops. Press F10 when you are ready.
- On a MacBook press fn + F10, or switch on the standard function keys setting in macOS.
Picture
- F11 switches the PC Play player between fullscreen and window.
- In PC Play, hold F1 to see the keys for the current situation. Shift + F1 pins the view. On a MacBook, hold fn + F1.
Situations: F6 to F9
A profile can use different keys for each situation. In the GTA V profile for PS5, F6 is on foot, F7 driving, F8 menus and F9 flying. Getting into or out of a vehicle switches between on foot and driving by itself. If the game and ConsoleMouse disagree, use the situation keys to set it.
PS5 buttons on the keyboard
- Home is the PS button. Hold it for a long press, for example to take over from the TV.
- F10, F6 to F9 and the emergency key are reserved in every profile and cannot be changed.
In the PS5 menus
The mouse acts as the right stick, so it does nothing in most PS5 menus. Use WASD or the arrow keys and Enter there.
