keyboard not working with xbox

It will work straight away for text input during messaging and the likes.

Every time the Xbox would show a virtual keyboard on the screen for text input, the keyboard will work.

As for games, the game has to be specifically made to support keyboards.

Not all games are able to use keyboards.

For example Fortnite and Minecraft are popular examples for games that work with an USB Keyboard and USB mouse.

The keyboard itself plugs into my controller and the usb, I have plugged into the usb port on the front of my xbox series x. When using the keyboard, the keyboard works but the mic stops working.

thanks for responding. Thats my point, I have a keyboard and bluetooth adapter, but the adapter isnt powered when put in the Xbox, but fine on the PC.

That's because BT keyboards don't work. Not all wireless keyboards are Bluetooth.

Logitech wiress keyboards for example work on Xbox, they use their own direct wireless protocol, this isn't Bluetooth.

These keyboards are already paired to the receiver dongle. That's why they just work, BT ones don't.

I bought a Akko keyboard and a razor mouse. The keyboard connects to my Xbox but doesn’t work but my mouse works fine.

hello fellow gamer have you downloaded the razer keyboard setup app from the Microsoft store for the keyboard?

USB keyboards have always worked, but prior to the February update they had to be plugged in while the Xbox One was powered off (not Instant On, but completely off).

Bluetooth keyboards will not work. The Xbox One doesn't contain a Bluetooth radio. A wireless keyboard with its own wireless USB dongle should work. I've used a couple different Logitech wireless keyboards that were already paired to their associated Logitech
Unifying USB receiver.
