How do I activate the mouse input with the wireless display app on the xbox series?

Hi again.

In according with your answer maybe i didn't understand your question but i read your question again, and this is what propose to you based on my experience

To activate the mouse input with the wireless display app on the Xbox Series, you can try the following steps:

Connect your keyboard and mouse to the Xbox Series.

Connect your Samsung phone to the Xbox Series using the Wireless Display app.

Once the connection is established, press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide menu.

Select My games & apps, followed by See all.

Highlight the Apps tab, and select the option for Wireless Display.

Ensure the Wireless Display app is open and running on your Xbox Series.

Press the Xbox button again to return to the guide menu.

Select the gear icon to open the Settings menu.

Navigate to Devices & accessories, and select the mouse you want to use.
Select the option to “Set up mouse”.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.

If the above steps do not work, you can try using a different app to share your display that supports mouse input

Hi, Edward my name is Jhon and will be a pleasure help you.

To activate mouse input when using the Wireless Display app on your Xbox Series S, follow these steps:

Open the Wireless Display App:

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide menu.

Select My games & apps, followed by See all.

Highlight the Apps tab, and select the option for Wireless Display.

Ensure the App Is Running:

Make sure the Wireless Display app is open and running on your Xbox Series S.
However, it’s important to note that the Wireless Display app is primarily designed for controller input.

As of now, it does not fully support mouse and keyboard input. When you connect through the wireless display, the connected keyboard and mouse may shut off, and you can only use the Xbox controller.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a direct way to use a mouse and keyboard with the Wireless Display app on Xbox.

If you want to play PC games on your living room TV using the Xbox Series S, consider alternative methods such as using other screen mirroring apps or connecting your PC directly to the TV.

While the Wireless Display app is convenient for controller-based gaming, it may not meet your specific requirements for mouse and keyboard input.

Remember that the range of wireless devices like keyboards and mice can be limited, so ensure that the distance between your PC and the Xbox Series S is within the acceptable range.

If you’re looking for a seamless experience with mouse and keyboard, exploring other display options might be a better solution.

Thank you for your answer. In this case, I'm not trying to use a pc, but a smartphone. I don't have a pc, that's why I mirror the smartphone display in to the xbox. Both mouse and keyboard are connected to the xbox console via usb. The keyboard works, I can type and use directions to control what happens in the smartphone, so I can both write and open apps by using the keyboard. But the mouse doesn't, there isn't something I can control to "click" in the smartphone as I would if it was a pc. I wish it was a way that I could control the smartphone through the mouse connected to the xbox usb port, the same way I can do it with the keyboard. The keyboard works fine, the mouse doesn't.

Sure so basically I play games on the gaming PC but sometimes I want to be in the living room. I don't want to lug it around.

xbox has the wireless display app which screen mirrors from your pc but also allows you to use the xbox controller for input.

I still want to use mouse and keyboard and I cannot figure out how to keep using mouse and keyboard when xbox is running the wireless display app. It always reverts to the controller only.

I basically want to use the xbox and the wireless display app like moonlight but keep using a mouse and keyboard instead of the xbox controller.

Is that more clear?

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Miguel O., Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

There are a few things you can try to fix mouse input lag and jumpy cursor movement on your Xbox Series S:

1. Make sure your mouse is fully charged or plugged in. A low battery can cause input lag.

2. Check your mouse for any physical damage, such as a bent or broken USB connector.

3. Make sure your mouse is up to date. You can check for updates in the Xbox Accessories app.

4. Try a different USB port on your Xbox Series S to see if that resolves the issue.

5. Make sure your Xbox Series S is not too far away from your mouse, as a weak wireless connection can cause input lag.

6. Try adjusting the mouse pointer speed in the Xbox Accessories app.

7. If you are using a wireless mouse, try using a wired one to see if that resolves the issue.

If your problem persists or the problem is fixed please let me know!
