MAJOR PS4 issue

[ObliviousFool]

Could not be happier with everything having to do with PS4 except one major issue. The system, not sure if its OS end or client end, is struggling to recognize all my peripherals and it creates a major problem. At first I was thrilled that I could use both my gaming mouse, and gaming keypad (http://www.razerzone.com/store/razer-orbweaver-stealth) and 98% of the buttons where recognizable and able to be keybinded (the two small buttons below the mouse wheel on the Naga where not recognized). I find the gaming keypad to be crucial for comfortably playing in front of a large screen TV as it significantly reduces the foot print when trying to find a comfortable table to sit behind. Herein lies the problem.

The gaming keypad, while crucial for streamlining, can not be used for communication. Easily solved by sitting a regular keyboard in front of the mouse/keypad. However, the game or system does not like 3 peripherals and automatically disconnects one when you go to make an input on the 3rd. In my testing it kept disconnecting the mouse every time I went to chat. I tried multiple combinations of USB port use. Any two devices will work perfectly whether or not they are plugged directly into USB port, or I use a splitter. Regardless of port configuration adding a 3rd device introduces the issue I've described. What I mean is having only 2 USB ports and needing to use a splitter does not seem to be an issue because I can use a splitter and have any two peripherals working on USB port I while I have a controller charging in USB port II with no issues at all. Having a PS4 controller connected, or not connected does not change anything but as soon as I add the 3rd non-controller peripheral, regardless if it has its own dedicated USB port, introduces the issue.

Another thing I noticed is the PS4/client is sometimes recognizing the Naga gaming mouse as a keyboard. This could be causing an issue. As far as having the regular keyboard and the gaming keypad (also considered by the game/client to be a "keyboard") there are no issues when connected together, so obviously the system/client can handle simultaneous input from two registered keyboards. Just need to be able to use mouse too and its GG.

Being able to using a gaming keyboard and mouse with this game on PS4 is amazing. It's so smooth and really made me realize that my PC is old. However the footprint of a keyboard and mouse stacked next to each other is just too big to comfortably sit in front of a tv. Gaming keypad is the perfect solution, but we still need to be able to communicate. Any help?

I would say thats on the OS side of the ps4. Not being designed to accept every thing your throwing at it at once

I thought that at first, but when I go to add a PS4 controller for instance, and the OS screen pops up asking which user is using it, and it shows me (the current user) as having 2x keyboard, and 1x mouse connected. So the PS4 is allowing me to connect all the devices at once, or at least it is recognizing the fact that I've done so. It is as soon as I go to make inputs in game the problems starts. In fact, you can not even make any inputs on the mouse unless you are in game. Like when you launch the client and you need to select the box to type in your PW. Mouse will not control that cursor. The mouse will pick up the cursor as soon as the game launches from the client updater.

This all fits in with what I originally read, which is the game designers are responsible for writing the peripheral compatibility into their game.
