- The page covers keyboard setup on the PS5 from Settings > Accessories > Other Accessories, where you choose the keyboard language and key repeat rate. It does not give a speed figure.
- What it does not show
- Sony does not say how much faster a keyboard is, and it does not say which games accept keyboard text in their own menus or chat.
