Anyone know if I can use my PS4 controller to get out of the BIOS? I don't have a keyboard or mouse and my system always asks me to press any key, when I try to use my ds4 the Mobo beeps when I plug it in and it's charges but I can't turn it on or anything, do I need a keyboard? I have 2 old laptops that are dead and I have a soldering iron if I can use anything from them

You have to get a keyboard to control the bios since the ds4 need drivers and the mobo probably doesn't have those drivers preinstalled

Any other USB devices like my phone I could plug in?

No why don't you have a keyboard anyway?

Sold most of my stuff a while back but I got given a "dead" x79 Mobo so I thought I'd see if I could get it working, I did but of course don't have a keyboard, case and stuff, nearest shop to me is 20 miles and nobody near me is selling, there's also police walking round shops so I guess I'll have to pick it up next time I do a grocery shop

Order a keyboard online from your countries website or Amazon
