  1. Can you use a keyboard and mouse with xbox game stream?


    Can you use your keyboard and mouse with xbox game stream? I know in the past when casting your xbox one to your windows 10 PC you had to use a controller but I'm just wondering if that has changed now that we have official keyboard and mouse support on
    xbox for some games.

    thanks

    :)

    DOUBT!

    The Xbox can't be controlled by keyboard and mouse through the Stream mode at all. While it's possible in the Minecraft Bedrock Edition to use Keyboard and mouse, all other games don't accept keyboard and mouse input at all.

    You might have to try Minecraft, if you can control it via Keyboard and mouse while streaming to your PC.

    Streaming Xbox to Windows 10 PC and using a keyboard/mouse

    Yes but what if I want to use the mouse and keyboard while streaming, I dont want to have to unplug my desktops mouse and keyboard and connect it to my xbox when I have the ability to play from here. Can I play mouse and keyboard supported games through
    streaming?

    Keyboard/Mouse?

    In order to keep an equal and fair multiplayer experience, you can only play with controllers on the Xbox One.

    Games that work on the PC as well (like for example Gears of War 4) can be played with keyboard and mouse, but you can only play cooperative multiplayer with console owners that have to use controllers, so mouse and keyboard users don't have an advantage.

    These XIM4 or Mayflash devices aren't real mouse and keyboard devices. These devices show themselves as a standard controller to the console, and when you move the mouse, the adaptor "guesses" from the speed you move the mouse, how hard it should push a
    simulated controller stick in a certain direction.

    These adaptors won't give you the same control as the mouse on a real PC.

    When you stream the Xbox game screen to your PC, you can also only use a Xbox controller. Mouse and Keyboard won't work as a game input (you can only use the keyboard to enter text when the virtual keyboard is shown).

    There are plans to get Keyboard and mouse working, if there ever is a way to stream the PC screen to the Xbox console.

    But currently, if you're playing on the Xbox console, it's controller only (even if the controller is "guesstimated" with mouse and keyboard inputs).

    Hello unclemichel,

    Thank you for your post. I understand you are looking to stream games to your PC and use a mouse and keyboard as an input. Though this is not a feature through streaming, some games on Xbox support mouse and keyboard input directly to your console.

    I hope this information helps.

    Can both the Xbox One and Xbox 360 have their games played on Windows 10 without the console?

    Okay thank you very much, I have one small question when it comes to streaming. If i were to stream an Xbox 360 game from an Xbox One to my Windows PC, would I be able to control that streamed game with my mouse and keyboard as opposed to a controller while
    on my Windows PC playing the streamed game?
    No, only controller. You can't use mouse and keyboard in this fashion for any games over xbox one streaming.
