Howdy, once and for all I wanna know DOES PS2 support USB keyboards and USB mouse? I have heard that not all games do that and features are rather limited.

Does anyone know a list of games where keyboard/mouse is usable?

Anything else interesting related to my question is more than welcome here. Please I want the info :):lol: :rolleyes:

well, you just need a USB to PS2 adapter to hook them up. As far as compatibility i do not think there would be much, since most games are set up to use a controller, just the opposite from a PC game.

the PS2 system just wasn't meant for mouse & keyboard gamers.

U dnt need a bloody usb to ps2 adapter in case u havent noticed it already has 2 usb ports
I use them but i have upgraded my ps2 with a 400GB HDD and 8 2.0 usb ports.also if you buy an ORION XTU cd/dvd drive your games will boot faster so u can frag ppl b 4 they have spawned which i do

All socom uses keyboard but there is no points in a mouse as it is a waste of time

personally i think the whole keyboard and mouse with PS2 is a complete waste. I can run circles around those types with a controller in my hand.

was not talking about typing, what PS2 game are you typing in? I was talking about gaming. So take your smart A$$ attitude and step down a notch where you belong.

Well in games no typing is needed, but for example in cheating devices, ulaunchELF text editor keyboard might be okay to have.

I actually bought a Logitech Keyboard/controller for PS2. The keyboard is usb and it locks into this loooong ps2 controller. Come to think of it, I've never used it for a game. But I've heard there are some games that you can type in...?
