Keyboard Support on Xbox One

Hey, so a quick tip for anyone who doesn't want to use their controller to input text via the on-screen keyboard on the Xbox One. The console works with wired and wireless keyboards, however to get them to work you must plug them in BEFORE you boot your
console. It doesn't need to be factory fresh or anything, but the console doesn't seem to detect them if you plug them in after its already on.

To use a keyboard with your xbox one:

1. Turn off your console using the button on the front of the console - hold it until it powers off.

2. Plug in your keyboard (I tested with a Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 & a Logitech Wireless K750-Mac, but I'm sure others will work too.)

3. Turn on your console.

4. Enjoy typing on a keyboard.

Hope this helps someone. If support could sticky this or add this information somewhere it is more relevant then please do.

:)

 

keyboard and mouse support

Hi, very few games on the Xbox One support Keyboard and Mouse

Minecraft Bedrock Edition supports both keyboard and mouse

Games like PUBG, Fortnite only support keyboard for extra buttons

 

Mouse and keyboard?

Pls microsoft/Xbox , add mouse and keyboard support on xbox one

or at least. work on input delay for adapters

and. sensitivity problems

pls fixe so that u can unable mouse and keyboard PC. feel for adapters in your xbox setting or just add mouse and keyboard support. just pls half of the xbox community are using mouse and keyboard on a adapter ,so pls do whatever you need to do to
make that pc feel for adapters or just add mouse and keyboard support

 

Outstanding! Thanks for the info and testing results. I agree that keyboard support should be more discoverable. In fact, Microsoft should highlight Xbox connectivity with peripherals and network devices within the console Settings tile, as well as the Xbox
Accessories webpage. Perhaps offer links from the console to the product page and/or store page.

While Smart Glass and Kinect are excellent products, I encourage Microsoft to extend the Xbox Ecosystem by offering *and* promoting Xbox One versions of Xbox 360 devices; e.g.: Media Remote, Bluetooth Headset, Steering Wheel, etc. Likewise, connect the Xbox
Ecosystem to Microsoft Hardware products - Arc (keyboard compatible with 360), Wedge, Sculpt, and USB keyboard and mouse.

 

Awesome , glad to help. I 100% agree with you gregjhartman , as a consumer and big proponent of Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One (and much of the products Microsoft offers elsewhere) my biggest wish is that Microsoft would do a better job at keeping the community
informed. They are horrible at it, both in terms of how they release information to the public and how they don't answer the community, except for scripted, robotic answers. They definitely should highlight that information. It's been years and years that
I've been saying this but they need a better way to interact with their online community... to get information out there quickly, concisely, and to answer community questions without simply saying "wait until the next update, more information to come" etc
etc. So, when I get information like this, I like to share it, because really.. someone has to. lol.

 

Good news......

•And, you will be able to use your USB keyboard with your Xbox One.

 

yeah, except that you can already do that. lol. They held that piece of information back to make the update that much better. :/

 

It should just make the option to use a keyboard more transparent and easier to access I believe.
