Keyboard and Mouse Support: I need it for the health of my hands.

Bean Delphiki · Dec 12, 2016

I know MSoft has been talking about fully supporting K&M input methods and I never really cared or worried about it, a controller has always been fine for me answer I love my Elite Controller. However, the ligaments and tendons in my left hand have begun
to exhibit a lot more inflammation, to the point of some of them literally popping and tearing. It's been a complete surprise to me since I have been playing for decades and haven't really had any gaming related health problems since playing WoW too much
and having to manage tendinitis to prevent Carpal Tunnel.

Anyway, I feel that this off hyped topic needs to be fulfilled. We as players need options for many reasons, I just wanted to put my two cents on the side of the scale that says "release this feature".

Thanks.

NO!! To Mouse and Keyboard Support

The idea of mouse and keyboard support for xbox, while not terribly bad, will be for anyone that enjoys playing FPSs online. Mouse and keyboard make accurate aiming way too easy. This is already a problem. Due to devices like the Xim 4, some FPSs have
become intolerable, you can pick out the people using it by watching the game play and it really makes it unfair for casual gamers. Xbox needs to ban mouse and keyboard support across the board, and if people want to use a mouse and keyboard, they should
be PC gamers and not console gamers...

Hello Bean,

It's worth taking this idea to Xbox Ideas, powered by UserVoice, which is a feedback site read by the actual Xbox engineering team. They use that site to gauge interest in features and ideas. I believe the idea has already been suggested there, in which case you
can simply upvote it to show your support for implementing the feature.

You should probably also consult a doctor, if you haven't already. That all sounds outside the bounds of normal reactions to using a controller.

This article from Windows Central indicates that it does and has for sometime. So I think you'd be good to go using Keyboard and Mouse.
From my understanding most first party Microsoft titles do support Keyboard and Mouse on the console.

Mouse and keyboard support is down to each developer of the games. Microsoft let them make the decision. At the moment only a handful of games support keyboard & Mouse. For more info on which games are supported, have a look here https://www.windowscentral.com/list-xbox-one-mouse-and-keyboard-games

Ok, so firstly you should be able to just plug in the mouse/keyboard USB and use it (if they are supported) you shouln't need an adapter to use mouse and keyboard on Xbox One since mouse and keyboard support has been added.

Secondly I'm not aware of black ops 4 supporting mouse and keyboard use on console, so if the developers have not enabled mouse and keyboard support on Xbox One, then using an adapter to be able to use your mouse and keyboard will be considered cheating.

There are only a handful of games that support mouse and keyboard input. Which were you trying to use it on?
