Full Keyboard and Mouse support

S0m3 DUd3 666 · Mar 11, 2018

This is something that needs to be fully utilized if we're going to have more and more cross-platform games, and definitely something that needs to be brought up again. Allowing players to use either a keyboard/mouse or a controller gives them all of the
advantages of playing on a PC without sacrificing the simplicity of a console. There needs to be UI changes to incorporate this as well. This idea was brought up to me after realizing how much of a disadvantage players on the Xbox version of Fortnite will
be playing against PC players. It's not fair that one side has more tools to use than the other side, especially when PC players have Gamepad support as well. PC players should be able to play their games on console without sacrificing what they're comfortable
with, as well.

Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

I don't believe the Xbox has full USB mouse and keyboard support, just basic keyboard support. Nothing to fix until the function is added to the Xbox console.

Cross platform play for fortnight wouldn't happen unless the game developer allows it

Blizzard's devs (in particular Jeff Kaplan, OW's lead developer) have been vocal in their rejection of keyboard & mouse support for consoles and especially in Overwatch, because he feels it provides an unfair advantage versus console players using controllers.
Don't expect it any time soon, if at all. They want Sony and Microsoft to provide full support for keyboard and mouse across the OS or don't bother. In the past, Mr. Kaplan has called for a ban on keyboard and mouse in consoles unless they provide FULL support.

A mouse is not supported at all as of 12/3/15 and keyboard support is limited but more support was added to the dashboard as of the November update to NXOE. Game support and app support for keyboard will be based on the specific game or app and what each
developer has decided to offer.

There are ideas around bringing full mouse and keyboard support to the system but I've not seen where any plans are confirmed that mouse and keyboard support would exist in games.

You donr

It's basic keyboard and mouse drivers

For.what you want you would need offical supported mouse

If you want mouse and keyboard full support you should.usr a gaming pc

Even switch pro won't support gaming mouse's other then basic functions

Or if the mouse is designed for Linux you have to use the Linux functions of the steam os
