Playstation 2 USB Help

Can we add a USB keyboard and mouse to the Playstation 2's USB ports to play FPS games? Cause controlling the view with the dualshock controller is very difficult. I tried it once but nothing happened, or does it only work with keyboards and mouse which are meant solely for the PS2?

Not sure about a mouse, but you can buy USB keyboards made by Logitech (or other manufacturers, but I have a logitech) with the PS2, but I believe it needs to be made for the PS2, not the PC.

Here's a tip:
USB products designed for the PS2 by logitech that include headsets and keyboards can be used for the PS2 and the Pc
2 for the price of one in case you want a new keyboard or a headset to chat

You can use a Keyboard on a PS2. Search www.logitech.com for games that support a Keyboard.
