Xbox One could get mouse and keyboard support

4.7

If Microsoft enabled Windows 10 PCs to stream games to Xbox One, keyboard and mouse support would definitely follow.

When Windows 10 releases in the coming days, anyone who owns an Xbox One will be able to stream Xbox One games to any PC running the new OS. As for the other way around, Microsoft always said that it’s something it’s looking into.

Of course for that to be fully functional, Xbox One will need to fully support keyboard and mouse as an input device. Xbox boss Phil Spencer knows this, and has recently reiterated on Twitter that he likes the idea, but doesn’t have anything to announce.

He did however add that should it happen, keyboard and mouse support would need to be there.

Keyboard and mouse support could be added to Xbox One and still be limited to streaming situations, preventing users from gaining an advantage in multiplayer games.

Yeah its kind of disappointing that you have to plug your xbox one controller into your computer via USB to play xbox on it, It's really kind of a hassle to have to do that, when you have your keyboard and mouse for use right there, it would be cool if you could use any keyboard and mouse directly with your Xbox One but it seems like that would take a lot of work to get everything working.

If they make their own keyboard and mouse set then I can tell they will be extremely overpriced. Allowing any USB keyboards to work with the Xbox One would be great however.

This would be interesting to see PC players on the console. The skill gap might be greater with this too.

I think they made this move,
so PC players might switch to console.
