  1. Keyboard and mouse only works with Gold account user and no others


    Hi

    We have two xbox's and my son's xbox works using Gold sharing. For him to play fortnite, he must sign in with my account as well as his own to enable gold sharing for online play. This works fine when using the controller but he would now like to use a keyboard
    and mouse.

    When we plug these in and login to fortnite using his account, it signs in as my account. The keyboard and mouse work fine. When we switch to his account they will not work so it seems they are somehow bound to the Gold account holder?

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    :)

    Have you tried this?

    To assign an account to a controller, follow these steps:

    1. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
    2. Select System > Settings > Devices & streaming > Accessories.
    3. Select the controller, and then the More options icon (). Assigned to shows the current account assigned to that controller.
    4. To assign the controller to another account, select Assigned to, and then select the account that you want assigned to the controller. This will pair the controller to this account.

    Mouse + Keyboard for Xbox?

    [quote user="Luckydan77"]

    If you get a wireless mouse and keyboard from Microsoft it will be compatible and should work just fine.

    that will not work - you can only use a keyboard for messages, the mouse will not work

    as others have said a 3rd party adaptor is needed

    Unable to get keyboard and Mosue to work in game mode playing Fortnite

    For the following to work you must make the menu selections using your keyboard. If you use the controller to make your menu selections to start the game you will be placed in a room for those with a controller and your keyboard/mouse will be non functional
    to make it fair to other players. To enter the room for keyboard and mouse users the game must be started by selecting the options using the keyboard/mouse. Hope this helps.

    Mouse and keyboard support

    Fortnite on Xbox One supports the ability to play with a mouse and keyboard. Note that when using a mouse and keyboard on Xbox One, you’ll be placed in a game with other users who also chose mouse and keyboard as their control option. To enable your setup
    to use mouse and keyboard, see Mouse and Keyboard Support

    Note If you’re on a child account, you’ll also need to enable settings for cross-network play to use a keyboard and mouse while playing
    on Xbox One.

    Keyboard not working

    Hello, bertrand. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    Try to change the keyboard language in your xbox settings. Some users went from QWERTY French-Canadien to QWERTY English and it worked. Or English UK to English US.

    Also, the keyboard and mouse will usually only work for the first account signed in to the console. If you have more than one, please try to sign off the other accounts and then try to plugin the mouse and keyboard again.

    Just to make sure, did you select the in-game option to use mouse and keyboard and assigned them to your account? And are you using both of them connected to the console?

    Waiting for your kind reply.
