Mouse cursor control on Microsoft Edge

Hi yLeozinn,

Thanks for replying! It seems that the use of the cursor for Microsoft Edge via the Xbox One console was never designed to be used with mouse/keyboard functionality and the cursor strictly is designed to work in tandem with Xbox One controller functions.
For more information, I recommend our support article entitled Mouse and keyboard support on Xbox One, which states "A mouse will not work
in Edge, which already has an on-screen cursor." so it appears that this is by design.

I hope that this information helps a bit more.

• You can’t use a mouse on Home or within the Xbox user interface while navigating the dashboard.
• You’ll need to use your controller to configure your mouse. Settings does not support mouse interaction.
• A mouse will not work in Edge, which already has an on-screen cursor.

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

Mas eu ainda não entendo porque não há como usar o mouse só porque já existe um cursor no Edge, poderia me explicar?

[Mod Translation - But I still do not understand why there is no way to use the mouse just because there is already a cursor in the Edge, could you explain?]

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently experiencing difficulties with being able to use a mouse on the Microsoft Edge app on the Xbox console.

As stated in the article that covers
mouse and keyboard support on Xbox One, A mouse will not work in Microsoft Edge, which already has an on-screen cursor."

Mouse support will only work in ceratin games and apps that provide this feature.

I'm sorry about any confusion or turmoil this might have caused.

So I’ve had the same problem having my cursor stuck on the main menu or in game screen for Minecraft. And, I have two methods but you can use either of the two to fix the issue.

The first one: I would load Microsoft Edge and in the “New Tab” I would scroll down (using my right stick) until my cursor itself disappears, then press the Xbox button and load back into Minecraft. But what I’m practically doing is just making the cursor visually disappear in Microsoft Edge before I load back into Minecraft.

The second one: I would simply connect a mouse to my console. And I would move my cursor to the bottom right of my screen either in the main menu or in the pause screen. And then disconnect the mouse so it doesn’t move back into the middle of the screen. And go back to using my controller. Keep in mind the cursor is still there but barely visible by a pixel.

Unfortunately this wasn’t permanent fix, since the bug reappears every time I turn my console back on or literally every time Microsoft Edge is used. So I hope Microsoft or Minecraft can get around to fixing this visual bug. But it’s a easy quick fix that I hope will work for you guys.
