[Fighting Games] Arcade sticks that can be used with PS5 [2021]

The PlayStation 5 was released in November 2020.
According to Sony's announcement, peripherals that can be used with the PS4 will also be usable with the PS5.
It seems like a given since backward compatibility is implemented, but what is the reality?

This time"Arcade sticks that can be used on PS5This article introduces ``.''
Will your arcade stick work on PS5?

PS5 backward compatible, PS4 software can be played

The PS5's major feature is its backward compatibility with software.

Almost all games are playable.
I have checked all the software I own, and so far I have not found anything that I cannot play.
There are some parts of the behavior that make you go "huh?", but I guess it's within the acceptable range.
Also, please note that the trial version I played on PS4 was almost unplayable.
If there are any titles you want to play in trial versions in the future, you'll probably have to keep your PS4.

Peripherals that can be used with PS5

Being able to play PS4 software means that there are some titles that cannot be played without the use of peripheral devices.
Of course, there has been an official announcement.

As shown in the image, for input devices such as controllers,Officially licensed products work'Headsets and audio input/output devices can be used via USB connection.'
The key point here is the term "officially licensed product," but what exactly is an "officially licensed product"?

An easy way to tell the difference isWith or without a PS button' can be used to determine the answer.
The PS button is a button that can be used to call up various functions on the PS4 and PS5 consoles, so it is only permitted to be installed on officially licensed products.

From here on, we will introduce arcade sticks that can be used with PS5.
As mentioned above, I explained that officially licensed products can be used with the PS5, but since I currently only own officially licensed products, I have not yet tested non-genuine products, genuine pad connection methods, or DIY circuit boards.
I think it should be possible to connect homemade arcade controllers such as Brook that have PS button functionality, but I would like to verify this as soon as I get one.
