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.

fakeMr_Robot NO NO NO! I hate BO3 quickscopers and I don't want people with K&M with pinpoint BO2 sniping accuracy ruining my life. MS = bad. :'(


considering all games pretty much have aim assist, this isnt a worry at all these days. in a lot of ways Controlpad players now have an advantage over keyboard and mouse in FPS games, theres multiple pc players that posted videos on youtube about this.

Hence the reason no one wants Cross play between PC/Console


M+K > Controller in every sense. Simply look at CSGO on Xbox compared to PC. Aim assist is only a helping hand in making the two similar.

Me and a friend was talking about this just a few days ago, now I come to think of it, it is going to be a HUGE advantage on games such as Siege, COD, Overwatch/Paladins, especially to the people who play PC aswell
