How to Get Macros on PS4 and PS5? Quick Guide

how to get macros on ps4 ps5

There’s no natural way to install macros on PS4 or PS5. Instead, you need to follow some tricks.

First, you need a third-party app if you want to install macros on your controllers. There’s no other way to do it. As we said, the console doesn’t include the function.

Secondly, they work better via keyboard & mouse, which are easy to plug. It can be easy to add macros to games that allow you to customize your key bindings. Often, these key bindings represent multiple actions tied to a single tap.

Overall, you can get macros on PS5 and PS4 by using a keyboard and mouse. Then, you can access the PlayStation’s settings to add macros from the list.

Lastly, Fortnite players can get a macro simply by customizing the key bindings on the game after plugging a keyboard and mouse setup.

That leads us to…

How to Use Keyboard & Mouse on PS5 or PS5?

Let’s start by connecting your keyboard and mouse setup to your PS5 or PS4. Most peripherals of this kind work with the console, but it would be best to use the ones with a regular USB connection.

  1. Plug the peripherals into the console’s USB ports. 
  2. The console will recognize the peripherals automatically.
  3. You can go to Settings > Devices  to verify the console identified the peripherals. ps4 devices menu

If you’re using a Bluetooth keyboard & mouse set, you can plug it like so:

  1. Plug the set’s wireless adapter on your PS5’s USB port, or turn on the Bluetooth of the devices. Bluetooth could be automatic, or you may need to push a button. Check the instructions on your keyboard and mouse. 
  2. On your PS5, browse to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth devices (on PS4)
  3. Select your devices on the menu. bluetooth-devices-menu-ps4

After you plug the keyboard and mouse in, you should be able to use them for browsing on the console’s interface. 

The steps are the same on PS4 and PS5. Almost any kebyarod & mouse setup with a USB drive connection works. However, we don’t recommend using a Bluetooth adapter for wireless keyboards.

Customize Your Fortnite Macro on PS4 or PS5

This is probably what you’re looking for. The good news is macros on Fortnite for PS5 and PS4 work for controllers and keyboards.

Yet, macros on Fortnite only work in the Creative mode. That’s because it grants a massive advantage, allowing you to edit buildings with a single button.

The process works on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.

  1. Select the Creative game mode. creative fornite
  2. Select Own Island. Go to Select Settings.
  3. Copy these settings on Controller Options: Editor Hold Time: 0.01 / Build Mode Sensitivity Multiplier: 1.8x / Edit Mode Sensitivity Multiplier: 1.9x. ps4 fortnite macros
  4. Go to the Controller tab, and select Custom. custom controller tab fortnite
  5. Now, the UP button on the D-Pad should change to Edit. change up button fortnite
  6. The Square button should change to Attack / Confirm. change square button fortnite
  7. Confirm the settings.

You can build with the UP and Square buttons way faster.

Create a Macro on Fortnite Using Keyboard & Mouse

Your next option regarding Fortnite is making the build/edit process faster via keyboard macros. 

First, you must change some things on the PS4 or PS5 settings. This would work on all games. Here’re the steps on the PS5:

  1. Go to Settings. settings ps5
  2. Select Accessories. ps5 accesories
  3. Select Keyboard. keyboard options ps5
  4. Choose the Delay and Rate. Make both “Fast.” 

On the PS4, here are the steps:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Select Devices.
  3. Select External Keyboard.
    extetrnal-keyboard-ps-4
  4. On Delay and Rate, select fast Fast.
    external-keyboard delay and rate

Now, step into the game for the key change. This will work on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo consoles.

  1. Go to Fortnite’s settings.
  2. Select Keybinds.
  3. On Building Edit, select a button.
    building-edit

Now, your building will be much faster on Fortnite. Remember, though, the change only works on Creative – Own Island mode.

Use a Third-Party App

On both the PS4 and the PS5, you can download Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center. The app allows you to create keyboard and mouse macros. 

  1. Download and install Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard center from the PlayStation Store.
  2. Go to Settings. ps4 settings
  3. Select Accessibility.
  4. Select a macro from the list. Alternatively, select “Create” or “+” to create a new macro.
  5. Give the macro a name.
