Can the buttons on an X-Box Power A be mapped to the keys on a PC keyboard?

you cannot map controller buttons to a keyboard regardless of the brand

Hi there,

Is the onscreen keyboard not coming up? Or after you enter your information, you're not able to submit it?

X button is usually acts like an enter key to select an area, or to submit data that was entered into an data box.

I tried the "D" key on the keyboard and it did not simulate the "X" button on the controller.

Hi Javier.

The support article is not really for the Keyboard since it just say " Plug it in any USB-port".

The mouse is working and have never been an issue.

The Keyboard is not working at all when it´s connected to the X-box, so the support is not relevant since the console is not responding at any key´s or even support the keyboard with power to lit up the lamps / diods.

It seems it not give the keybord any power at all, and then it's hard for the keyboard to function...

When we connect the keyboard to a computer or tv-set it´s working perfect direct, with no problems at all.

When my son tried to connect the keyboard to a USB-power charger for a mobile phone or simular, the keybord was acting simular to when he connected it to the X-box, It was not responding at all...

I have not doublechecked it yet, but I can do so if it give you any clues..

Good luck once again.

Yes it's a shame we can't map all the extra buttons we get on a racing wheel when using it on consoles. I think the reason for this is due to the xbox controller only having a certain number of buttons hence why you can't map any of the extra buttons as
there are only so many axis/button inputs that will be recognised between controller and console.

There are games that allow you to use a keyboard that can be used as a 'Button Box' mod so you can map more buttons to functions (racing simulation games like Project CARS 2 offers plenty of options for button mapping and controller customization). I do realise
this is not the same as being able to map the extra buttons on a racing wheel but is still handy for this very reason. Here is an example of one clever way to map extra buttons without using a full qwerty keyboard:

Sim racing button box/keyboard num pad

Hopefully there will be some updates and changes to how we can have our racing wheels recognised by the console and be able to map all the buttons properly. Until then, the link to the example I posted above might be a temporary solution to the button mapping
issue.

Happy Gaming!
