Can I use my USB keyboard on a PS5 to type messages in the chat?

Hi, can I use my USB keyboard attached to my PS5 to type messages in the chat?

Is there any chance that the game will detect "some other illegal input" and I get some troubles because of that? Just want to type fast, it's a pain to do on my controller.

    As soon as you plug in a M&K, (or even just one of those inputs), the game will tell you to unplug it, and will prevent gameplay until you do.

    Omfcgod...thank you for clarifying this. I used a keyboard before in other games and it was very comfortable to type in the chat. Now I can only guess how some people spam messages so fast on the console. With a joystick...during the gameplay. I can do it only with 1/3 of their speed. Is there a possibility that they use the ps app to type somehow in apex?
