Most of us ps4 players also have keyboards

I so wish you could use a single account on both pc and ps4, with access to the same chars anyways. As a ps4 player, it’s rare to get more than a wave from me. I feel bad about it at times but it is SO cumbersome to type without a keyboard(yes I know, USB keyboard).
The ps4 death stares ive experiences says otherwise.

Doing a wave isn’t that bad on ps4. Open chat press triangle and go to emotes and click wave. Faster to do that opposed to typing it out
I have a keyboard, an old Mac bluetooth one that works really well, just I’m too lazy to switch it on half the time. So death stares and jumping up and down with the occasional wave is all people get :D.
i’m playing boundless on the nvidia shield (geforce now)
i do use the ps4 controller for that and for chatting i use my laptop thats bluetooth connected to the nvdia shield android box.
my ps4 is afk on gta making money.
and the laptop i need to work on. so yeah android box all way! (unless i had no choice)
guess am the only so far using this setup? haha
I have a keyboard but if i’m lying back on the sofa sometimes I just can’t be bothered putting pad down and reaching for kb:p
I’m also using the virtual kb to write this (15 seconds to type 34 letters and a few spaces)
Um…what you said makes no sense… plus your name says you’re using Steam.
@Honourless so like 5 words a minutes?
But…I wrote 9 words in 15 secs. < I got that out in 8 secs, ps4 master race
@Honourless
It takes anyone with a keyboard half the time at least, to type even this reply that I am stating now which as a word count of who knows what…
Average word has 5-6 letters… We will say 5 for easy math… 34/5 gives us 6.8… so lets help you out and round that to 7 words per 15 seconds. 7*4 = 28 words a minute.
The average person types between 38 and 40 words per minute… gamers most likely would be able to double the average WPM that a normal user in that average would be able to do… you get where this is going.
Again using 40 for easy math… 40/4 = 10 words per 15 seconds.
The average person (your mom) can still do 30% faster typing on a keyboard…
P.C Master Race
You - 7 words in 15 seconds.
Your mom - 10 words in 15 seconds.
Your mom wins.
Damn man, you’re a really intense fella, aren’t you?

i’m using steam but steam on Geforce NOW see https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/geforce-now/supported-games/
(nvidia shield accepts android game/ Genforce NOW games/steam games/ or just stream to it from laptop/pc)
it accepts any controller so also the ps4 controller, connects that using cable or bluetooth.
then as for typing in game i use http://www.acrosscenter.com/
its connects your pc/laptop with other devices so i just connect to the Nvidia shield tv using bluetooth as wel
and i can swap between the Nvidia shield and the laptop with a press of a button.
PC player here. I own a PS4 but I like being able to use the graphics settings to turn down foliage quality when searching for ground resources etc. Then there’s the Debug menu which comes in handy for identifying block types/colors and also for having my altitude displayed on-screen the whole time when mining.
And then there’s the chat. Even with a keyboard, there’s still the awkward silences and death-stares while trying to get the words out. What this game really needs is integrated voice chat. Hopefully one day the awesome Devs of this game will manage to give us Oortians our voices. Time will tell. 
I’ve never known how to use emotes… I’m the guy the the death stare as I poke out a lame “hi”
I’m PS4 too, I plugged in my keyboard and life is much better for typing and controls!
How feasible is ingame voice masking i wonder? So your voice comes out sounding like the things we play as? I couldn’t use it but it’d be great hearing those gruff voices rather than…Well, you know
Playing on Pc atm but I also wanna get it on my ps4 
The Xbox controllers definitely feel good to hold.
I use these on my laptop dedicated to solely old game boy emulators.
