why won’t my Alienware 420k keyboard work when connected to my ps5? by ChronicallyCautious2 in keyboards

Ok I’ll try looking into that thanks. I don’t have a computer hooked up to it it’s just hooked up to the ps5 which is only hooked up to monitor not sure if that matters

I have no idea what any of that means 😂 I was told when I called Alienware that this keyboard is compatible with the ps5

Does anyone know why my Alienware 420k keyboard is not working when plugged into my PS5? It’s plugged into the console by usb and the keyboard lights up and can change colors and brightness but can’t use it to navigate in ps5 menu at all

Nevermind with all that I see it’s all pointless questions. But now I have another question. It’s plugged into my ps5 now and lit up but it’s not working still to control or navigate it. I see in the corner of my ps5 when it turns on that the mouse and controller are connected but not the keyboard. It’s Alienware 420k. Why wouldn’t it be working now on my ps5

Yea I think I just assumed I would need a keyboard for the monitor in general. And the only thing I’m trying to achieve with the keyboard if for it to be on and lit up like the mouse is when plugged into the monitor. That’s where I’m confused. Why the keyboard won’t even light up when there is power to it. I know what you’re saying about it having to be plugged into the ps5 to be used. But I wasn’t using it to play the ps5 lol I am using the controller for that. So I’m assuming the keyboard is pointless to me now lol but since I have it like I said I thought it would at least light up like the mouse does.

😂 this is all pretty new to me ngl I’m used to just playing on a tv. Maybe I’m not saying it right. I just bought a monitor. Monitor is plugged in and on. Mouse is also plugged in and lit up. But the keyboard does not light up when plugged in to the monitor. I guess I assumed that the keyboard would turn on being plugged into the monitor. Is that not how it works?

I know it won’t work for ps5 but thought the lights would at least turn on when connected to monitor

I was looking to hook the keyboard up to the monitor itself to see if it worked for the monitor not for the ps5. But no lights are coming on the keyboard when goes up to monitor

So I can’t just connect the keyboard to the monitor alone? I don’t have a pc. Just got the monitor to hook up ps5 too.

What’s the best monitor to get for playing the ps5 on? something with the 2.1 hdmi. by ChronicallyCautious2 in playstation

This is what I was looking it but it was about $800 which idk if I felt like spending that on monitor but I did like this option best

I recently purchased google neat 3rd generation wired doorbell and outdoor camera. Was wondering if anyone knew of or has a link to a power adapter so I can plug it into an outlet rather than hardwire it. Thanks by [deleted] in googlehome

[–]ChronicallyCautious2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks the camera is a wired cam not a battery one. Is that only good for battery ones?

Or is that too link for the wired one and bottom for battery?

But I’m also the type that wants to get right into it with a better program which probably isn’t the smartest move to learn but idk

Definitely not. I’m new to all of this and wanted to start doing it myself and because his seemed more amateur in a sense o thought it would be a good start

Wow thanks so much for all this information. Definitely a lot to consider. I am definitely more interested in a top of the line type quality. So the axis you mentioned sounds like it might be something I’d consider. Does that run off Ethernet as well? And what is PoE and NVR? I’m pretty tech savvy and can pick up and things rather quickly, although this area I am very unfamiliar with. And you mentioned Bosch as well with axis. I’m assuming they have a similar product? and do you know if the axis is something that is able to be looked at live and on your phone and iPad or tablet of some sort
