Is there any way to disable the onscreen keyboard on my xbox series s?

Ethen Davis · Jun 16, 2023

I primarily play games with a keyboard and mouse, so it’s really annoying to have a massive text box pop up on my screen when I try to type something. This is especially annoying with Minecraft since it makes the use of commands very difficult. I’ve searched for ways to fix my issue, but it seems that the only way is through a pc app… that’s a bit of an issue as I don’t own a working pc.

Hi,Ethen! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Unfortunately the only way is as you say with the PC APP.

You can however make it smaller if you find it helpful in case you have this option on

Settings>Accessibility>Magnifier>Large on.screen keyboard>off

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help disabling the on screen keyboard. Unfortunately, there is no feature on Xbox that will remove the on screen keyboard. You can only minimize this through the accessibilty settings so it will appear smaller than the usual.

For remote features, you can disable this by downloading the Windows 10 app and go to the app settings to disable the on screen keyboard but that is only through the app.

That is just for remote features on the Xbox. Not sure if this still works but you can try holding down the windows key then press escape. See if that removes the on screen keyboard.
