Sony’s consoles remain colossal in the industry, offering a suite of games, services, and functions. One of these features needs some introduction: how to get macros on PS4 and PS5? 

Many users search for Macros to speed up their gaming, particularly Fortnite. Sadly, there’re not many instructions about it.

Macros work the same as they would on a PC keyboard. They allow you to put functions on button shortcuts. These functions work in-game via simple button taps.

Also, macros work if you’re using a keyboard and mouse on your console. Impressively, they also work on the regular controllers, although the features are more limited and need a few workarounds.

As I said, macros on PS4 and PS5 need a little introduction. Therefore, we’re sharing the benefits you could get from the special function.

Macros make your gaming experience quicker, more ergonomic, and customizable. 

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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:

On the PS4, here are the steps:

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

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

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.
