Playing on xbox with a keyboard

leebee10 · Nov 26, 2018

Hi, my son would like a keyboard to play on xbox with. I understand this is possible now and he could play Fortnite with a keyboard, however, can anyone tell me what type/make of keyboard will work? Or will any gaming keyboard be ok - don’t want to get
the wrong one and then find it is no use. Thank you in advance

Compatible Keyboards

Any usb keyboard should function on the Xbox One. Are you trying to play a game using the keyboard/mouse or just for typing?

Need help please

Currently only Minecraft (without the "Xbox One Edition" in the title) is playable with keyboard and mouse.

All other games, including Fortnite do NOT work with Keyboard and Mouse on the Xbox One.

If you want to play Fortnite with Keyboard and Mouse, you can do that on a regular Windows PC.

Hey there Leebee

For the most part you should not run into any problems with most Mouse and Keyboard Setups. There can however, be some devices that are not going to be compatible with the Console. I would advise to reach out to the manufacturer to check and see if their
devices are compatible with the Xbox One.

Here is a helpful Support article for
Mouse and Keyboard Support on Xbox One.

I hope this helps!

I use a £7 wireless one for typing on it and it works a charm. The majority of keyboards and mice will work. Corsair and Razer have their keyboards fully supported.

Yea it would be easier just getting it for PC if you wanted to play with mouse and keyboard. I dont believe R6S has keyboard and mouse support on xbox. But with that being said if you really wanted to play with keyboard and mouse on console you could buy
one of those 3rd party adapters that allows you to play with keyboard and mouse on console.

For the following to work you must make the menu selections using your keyboard. If you use the controller to make your menu selections to start the game you will be placed in a room for those with a controller and your keyboard/mouse will be non functional
to make it fair to other players. To enter the room for keyboard and mouse users the game must be started by selecting the options using the keyboard/mouse. Hope this helps.

Mouse and keyboard support

Fortnite on Xbox One supports the ability to play with a mouse and keyboard. Note that when using a mouse and keyboard on Xbox One, you’ll be placed in a game with other users who also chose mouse and keyboard as their control option. To enable your setup
to use mouse and keyboard, see Mouse and Keyboard Support

Note If you’re on a child account, you’ll also need to enable settings for cross-network play to use a keyboard and mouse while playing
on Xbox One.

the original Xbox only came with a controller. the Xbox 360 only came with a controller. the Xbox One comes with a controller. you can't buy an Xbox One with a Keyboard and Mouse.
in my opinion if they don't sell them with a Keyboard and Mouse they shouldn't have support for Keyboard and Mouse. if you want to use
Keyboard and Mouse you should play on a PC and not on a console.
