Windows 10: Mouse and Keyboard Support for Xbox One Developers

Brink · Sep 25, 2018

At Xbox, we’re committed to bringing gamers more choice in what they play, who they play with and how they play. We’re also equally committed to providing developers with the best platform to create and deliver the best gaming experience on Xbox. Today we’re announcing a new way to play games on Xbox: we’re enabling mouse and keyboard support on Xbox One for select Xbox Insiders in the coming weeks.

With this new input support at the platform level, developers can now build mouse and keyboard support in their games if and how they choose. It’s important to note that mouse and keyboard support for games is added on a title-by-title basis, entirely at developers’ discretion. For all other titles, nothing changes. Mouse and keyboard input is not enabled by default for games. Each development team knows their titles best and we support them in creating the right experience for their games as they see fit, to ensure an optimal and fair gaming experience. Warframe will be one of the first titles testing mouse and keyboard input when the feature arrives to Insider in the coming weeks.

While most wired or wireless USB keyboards and mice will work on Xbox One, we know access to best-in-class hardware is a must. That’s why we’re partnering with a premiere peripheral manufacturer in the gaming hardware space – Razer – to bring you the best possible mouse and keyboard experience for this new functionality. We’ll have more to share soon on this partnership, but for now check out Razer’s website and our Xbox Twitter and Facebook pages for a sneak peek.

We’ve been working closely with studios of all sizes to ensure mouse and keyboard experiences on console are fun, fair and correctly balanced, and look forward to introducing more games with support for mouse and keyboard input in the future. Tune into the November 10 edition of Inside Xbox for more details about additional titles supporting mouse and keyboard, and to learn more about our partnership with Razer.

Features like mouse and keyboard support come to life with the right fan feedback. So, as always, please share feedback with us and with your favorite developers to ensure we’re getting this right. If you’d like to test out this experience on Xbox, you can join the Xbox Insider program. For more on the latest news from Xbox, stay tuned to Xbox Wire.

Keyboard and mouse support still on the way for the Xbox One

With games like Gigantic and Halo Wars 2 coming to the Xbox One, a lot of gamers have been wondering if the previously-promised mouse and keyboard support for Xbox One is going to be arriving any time soon. On top of being useful for some of the games that are arriving on Xbox, it’s also going to be a huge help for other functions on the Xbox One, including Windows 10 to Xbox streaming (which is going to require mouse and keyboard flat-out). In a recent tweet by Phil Spencer, it was confirmed that mouse and keyboard support is, in fact, well on the way to Xbox One.

Xbox mouse and keyboard

I think this is a good thing. MS should add support for any type of input methods and not just limiting to Game Controller or mouse and keyboard.

Will XBox die because of these plans? Nope! If XBox dies, it will be because of something more drastic, that will cause all XBox fans to switch to different console brand. I however doubt that will happen.
