Tactical Assault Commander -MECHANICAL KEYPAD- for PlayStation®5 Firmware Update

 

We have updated the firmware for Tactical Assault Commander MECHANICAL KEYPAD for PlayStation®5 (TAC) to improve the compatibility of wired mice.

This firmware update enables the TAC to support most mice that have up to 200mA power consumption.

*Please note that mice over 200mA of power consumption or special features such as analog sticks may not function while directly connected to the TAC even with the firmware update. In this case, please connect the mouse directly to the PS5 or PS4 console to use. Please contact our customer support if you have any questions or difficulties.
