    Howdy, once and for all I wanna know DOES PS2 support USB keyboards and USB mouse? I have heard that not all games do that and features are rather limited.

    Does anyone know a list of games where keyboard/mouse is usable?

    Anything else interesting related to my question is more than welcome here. Please I want the info

    Yes that's one of the reasons there are USB ports on the PS2. If you want to know which games support the keyboard/mouse, check out the official playstation game list here. Just click on a game title and look under the "Compatible Accessories" section at the right. Not all games work with the USB keyboard/mouse, but there is a device made that allows you to use your regular PC keyboard and mouse with all games. Original thread about it here. Just make sure you read all the way through, cause the better one of the two turned out to be the SmartJoy. Looks like SmartJoy's site is down right now, but you can still look at it through the internet archives here.

    The 'official' list from sony's site ain't complete. For example I miss Unreal Tournament. I play that game on the ps2 using a keyboard. Without mine adapter.
