Mouse and Keyboard question for Xbox

1st question is when will we be allowed to use mouse n keyboard on console r6

2nd question can you enable mouse and keyboard for custom games like local game

Here's a list of games that currently support keyboard and mouse - https://www.trueachievements.com/keyboard-and-mouse-support/games

Unfortunately R6: Siege is not on that list and it's not something you can just turn on and it's something that requires support from the game itself for it to work on the Xbox

Hi Leozinn,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. You can connect the keyboard and mouse to the console. As to what is able to be done is limited as it is still new. A keyboard will work with Edge, a mouse will not as there is a built in cursor already
on Edge. Here is a
support link you can look over concerning keyboard and mouse.

Thanks,

Brad

The implementation of keyboard and mouse on xbox is up to the Developer of each game. So in this case, adding keyboard and mouse support to Gears is up to The Coalition. Id recommend posting your question/ suggestion in the Gears forums.

Hi DRnoam,

I'm SamanthaCheung, a MCP. Hopefully my reply below answer your questions.

1. According to
Xbox One, not all game and app supports mouse and keyboard. For some games and app, the mouse and keyboard support feature need to enabled before you can use it. It's recommended you consult the game or app publisher if you're not sure about this.

2. Almost every USB keyboard work with Xbox One. It depends on the game or the app you'll play on Xbox One. To use a USB keyboard or mouse on Xbox One, you'll need an input adapter. See

How to Use Keyboard and Mouse on Xbox One.

3. Yes. The controller will still be active when you're using the keyboard or mouse. And you can use the controller to configure the mouse.

I think the specifics of the question aren't about using mouse and keyboard, but rather if you can use a keyboard and mouse that operate via a wireless dongle.

That is, plug dongle into Xbox, then mouse and keyboard comme t to dongle, wirelessly.

I'm not sure that this works, though.

Upon looking at support site, which specifically states WIRED USB keyboard and mouse, so I'm unsure

EDIT: , there may in fact be models supported by console that are wireless, but not just any wireless keyboard will function so check first
