Xbox One to get full keyboard and mouse support

4.2
The long rumored often elusive keyboard and mouse support for Xbox One may actually be on its way sooner than dreamed about.

A senior Microsoft official mentioned during the company’s developer conference that soon those game developers who are part of the Xbox Live Creators program will be able to mimic their Windows 10 counterparts by incorporating more desktop features.

Among those Windows, desktop features coming to the platform are mouse and keyboard support. Furthermore, the executive said it would ‘soon’ that developers in the Xbox Live Creators Program should expect support in the near future.

Optimistically, over the past few years, Microsoft has been eager to meld the worlds of Xbox and Windows 10 and with the framework set in place for console gamers to dabble with full Windows 10 apps, it should be a short order for keyboard and mouse support to maneuver those apps.

Mei they're high if they think thats a good idea, have you seen these players who use M&K play overwatch? its actually unfair.


If they give M+K support to everyone rather than the few who know about Xim 4 adaptor then it would be abit more fair.

I can see this being good and bad

Decy May be good for certain games but it may be an advantage on others.


honestly if you want to you can already use M+K on CoD. A few people use it on GB matches and its a real unfair advantage but you have to pay £60+ for an adaptor.

Not sure If I am reading into this wrong but does mean M+K support for games itself or just for navigation of menu's and apps such as netflix/ IE.
