Set up PS5 with ConsoleMouse

What you need

• Your own PS5, switched on and on the same home network as your computer.
• A PlayStation Network account on that PS5.
• ConsoleMouse installed on your computer or Raspberry Pi.

Link your PS5

1. Start ConsoleMouse and choose Set up PS5.
2. Let ConsoleMouse find your PS5, or type its network address if you know it.
3. Type your PlayStation name, the Online ID. It is your public name, not your email address.
4. On your PS5, open Settings, then System, then Remote Play, switch on Enable Remote Play and choose Link Device. Your PS5 shows an eight-digit number.
5. Type the eight-digit number in ConsoleMouse. It is valid for about five minutes.
6. Wait for the link to finish. You do this once.

Where to find your name and address

• Your Online ID: on the PS5 open Settings, then Users and Accounts, then Account, then Profile.
• The network address of your PS5: it’s in the console’s network settings.

Good to know

• If the number runs out, choose Link Device again.
• If another account is signed in on the PS5, sign in with the account you linked.
• Setup is the same on Windows, macOS and Linux. On Raspberry Pi you do the same steps on the setup page.
