    Allow Keyboards to emulate Controllers


    As a old PC gamer I like playing some games such as 2D platformers on keyboard instead of using a controller. Please allow keyboards to emulate game controllers and provide a mapping interface where keyboard keys can be mapped to controller input.

    Will Xbox Scarlett be able to detect and disable/ban Xim and other mouse and keyboard adapters?

    I doubt that it will be banned, But the fact that these adapter make keyboard and mouse emulate a controller does pose an issue since the Xbox thinks a controller is plugged in and allows for aim assist with keyboard and mouse.

    We will just have to wait and see where this goes, I don't think we have to worry too much since Xbox now supports keyboard and mouse the sales for the adapters will soon start going down considerably if hasn't already.

    Keyboard on my xbox is messed up!?!!

    Have you tried using the controler/keyboard emulator on your phone via the Xbox app? Just a suggestion to help get past that sign in screen..

    XiM3, the keyboard and mouse input system

    [quote user="LostKauz"]

    It is not a Mouse and Keyboard. It's simply a Unlicensed Third Party Controller designed to look and Emulate a Mouse/ Keyboard. But I have to repeat again, it is not a M/K Support though.

    It is a keyboard and mouse then isn't it and it's unlicenced and it never would be licenced. The mouse functions just like a mouse would in a P.C. game.

    Keyboard users should be PROHIBITED from playing against controller users

    I kind of agree. I don't have an issue with folks using keyboard and mouse on the console for games provided they're are options to only match make with controller users etc.

    On a side note you mention COD but I don't recall that being on the official k/m list so it would be likely that the users who are using it are using an emulator to try and get an advantage and cheat. Not something Microsoft allowed and probably very hard
    to trace.

    Does anyone else feel this would be cool??

    No as it's is up to the developer to allow or disallow keyboard and mouse

    If you are playing pure pc games then you won't have an issue

    If you use cloud or remote play you need a controller as the games are designed for controllers not keyboard or mouse
