Good evening

Yes, you can play Rainbow Six Siege with a keyboard and mouse on Xbox Series X/S.

Connect your keyboard and mouse to your Xbox Series X/S console. You can connect them directly to the console's USB ports or use a USB hub if you need more ports.

Once your keyboard and mouse are connected, start up Rainbow Six Siege on your Xbox Series X/S.

In the game's main menu, navigate to the Options menu.

From the Options menu, select the Controls tab.

From the Controls tab, select the Controller Type option.

Change the Controller Type to Mouse and Keyboard.

Customize your keyboard and mouse settings to your liking.

Unfortunately I think a lot of people are having this problem when I first bought a brand new keyboard and mouse I plugged into my new Xbox series X booted up the game the same exact game you’re talking about and it worked after I troubleshoot it for a bit and that was me basically restarting the consul turning it back on putting the game on starting the game up with my controller and then pressing a button on the keyboard and all of a sudden it worked this was like two months ago it’s now May and I started playing again and it’s now not working at all I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s probably a bug in the game and they’re probably needs to be a patch implemented

Some games on the Xbox One or Series X|S do support keyboard and mouse. So if you use a keyboard and mouse just by plugging them into the usb ports on the Xbox console, then no it is not a bannable offense. It can be though if you use an unofficial adapter to play on games that do not support keyboard and mouse.

Good morning! As long as you are talking about the Series S or X, then according to sources yes, almost any Keyboard or Mouse will be suitable. Please see below:

"The USB transmitters that ship alongside wireless gaming mice and keyboards handle all the data communication between your peripherals and your console. This means that almost all wireless keyboards and mice will work with Xbox Series X and S."

There is a very informative article on the devices here:

Of course, that being said, devices made specifically for the system will have more finely tuned compatibility.

Hopefully this helps!
