Xbox mouse support may be coming in the next Insider update
Now, if reports are to be believed, mouse support may be coming to the console with the next insider update. The new functionality will be placed in the Kinect and devices settings and will be available in games and apps that support the API. There is only one setting you can control as of now- pointer speed.
Xbox's Corporate Vice President, Mike Ybarra had previously confirmed the advent of mouse and keyboard inputs on the platform. Now, it seems the feature may be ready to hit the insiders soon. However, the company has stated that it would tell developers to keep note of the "unfairness" factor when it comes to peripherals in multiplayer mode.
We have already seen bits of what the support might look like in games like Minecraft Beta for Xbox One. With Halo Wars 2 bringing cross-play between Xbox One and PC players, this might be an opportune time for Microsoft to test the functionality and better its implementation.

Cool to see but definitely not something I'll be using. Prefer the controller over anything else.
