Is it possible to play PUBG Mobile with a keyboard and mouse?
No, it is not possible to play PUBG Mobile on a PC with only a keyboard and mouse without using an emulator or external software. The game is designed for touch controls on mobile devices.
Indeed, it is possible to play PUBG Mobile with a keyboard and mouse
Here are a few methods to do so:
Using an Emulator
You can download an Android emulator like BlueStacks, NoxPlayer, or LDPlayer on your PC. These emulators allow you to run PUBG Mobile on your computer and you can use a keyboard and mouse for controls. However, using these emulators may lead to different gameplay dynamics compared to playing on a mobile device, as you will be playing against other players using emulators.
Mobile Device Support
Some mobile devices support external keyboard and mouse inputs. If your device has this capability, you can connect a keyboard and mouse via Bluetooth or USB OTG (On-The-Go) and play directly on your mobile device. This method may require additional steps, such as rooting the device or installing specific settings to enable external inputs.
Game Accessories
There are also dedicated gaming accessories that allow you to connect a keyboard and mouse to mobile devices specifically for gaming. These accessories can be more expensive but offer a more integrated and consistent gaming experience when playing on a mobile device.
Disclaimer: Using an emulator may be against the terms of service of the game. Therefore, it is important to familiarize yourself with the game’s terms of service before opting for this method.
Emulators for Playing PUBG Mobile
There are several emulators available for playing PUBG Mobile on a PC, but most are not natively supported. Here are some options you could explore:
Tencent Gaming Buddy
In my opinion, Tencent Gaming Buddy is the best emulator for playing PUBG Mobile. However, this version is not available to users outside of certain regions. To use this emulator, you would need to externally download the global version of PUBG Mobile. Additionally, if there is an update for the game, you would need to manually update it as well.
LDPlayer
LDPlayer is another emulator option. While I have not personally tried it, I have heard that it can run PUBG Mobile. However, this may require a powerful graphics setup to run smoothly at 1080p. The game may not be fully optimized for use with a PC, and the controls might be laggy.
BlueStacks
BlueStacks is another popular emulator. For PUBG Mobile, you can download BGMI on it, which is an optimized version specifically for BlueStacks. Although it is playable, the game may not run as smoothly as it does on mobile devices. It is not recommended for high-detail graphics like 1080p, as this may require a high-end graphics card. Additionally, there is a “risk” of getting banned since the game will think you are running it on a mobile device.
