Games on PC showing mouse and keyboard prompts with a controller conected.

Hello JonathanQuesada1,

Based on the description, you are having issue with Xbox Series X controller connected to your PC. Let us see how we can help.

We would like to know more about it in details so that we can provide a more accurate resolution to your concern.

1. When did the issue start?
   
2. How is your Xbox controller connected to your PC? Is it through Bluetooth or using USB cable?
   
3. Are you seeing this behavior in all games and apps or in one game or app?
   
4. How did you update your Xbox Controller? Did you update it on PC, update with USB or update wirelessly?
   

For the meantime, here are the troubleshooting steps that we can perform:

1. If you are seeing this behavior across all games and apps, it could mean that your controller button configuration has been remapped. To check your current controller button settings, follow these steps:

• Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
  
• Under Profile & system, select Settings.
  
• Under Devices & connections, select Accessories.
  
• On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select Configure.
  
• Carefully review the current mapping for each of the buttons on your controller. You can also select Restore to default to set the controller back to its original button mapping.
  

For more info on controller button names and basic functions, see: Get to know your Xbox One Wireless Controller | Xbox Support

2. Update your controller on Windows 11 using the Xbox accessories app.

• If you don’t already have the app installed, get it in the Store:
  
  Microsoft Store
  
• Open the Xbox Accessories app.
  
• Connect your Xbox Wireless Controller by using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
  
• When the controller is connected, you'll see the message Update Required if an update is mandatory. Install the update.

I already fix it, problem was a conflict with Steam launcher, just had to close it.

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).

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.
