    Some games that use keyboard won't work without controller on.


    When the Xbox controller turns off and I'm just using keyboard and mouse it will say: "[Username], you need a controller for this game." augh-though I don't need one to play. Is there any way to get around the following?

    :)

    Oh yes. You can't play games with your Keyboard if the controller isn't turned on. I don't believe there's a workaround for this one.

    Is this on Console or PC?

    [SOLVED] I can't hold down "W" key & "D" key at the same time, Why is this?

    depends on the keyboard you are using, some keyboards use the same circuit for multiple keys and then that prevents this, and if it did work then it could be the keyboard going faulty or the keyboard controller.

    is this on a separate keyboard or a laptop keyboard.

    Keyboard/Mouse?

    In order to keep an equal and fair multiplayer experience, you can only play with controllers on the Xbox One.

    Games that work on the PC as well (like for example Gears of War 4) can be played with keyboard and mouse, but you can only play cooperative multiplayer with console owners that have to use controllers, so mouse and keyboard users don't have an advantage.

    These XIM4 or Mayflash devices aren't real mouse and keyboard devices. These devices show themselves as a standard controller to the console, and when you move the mouse, the adaptor "guesses" from the speed you move the mouse, how hard it should push a
    simulated controller stick in a certain direction.

    These adaptors won't give you the same control as the mouse on a real PC.

    When you stream the Xbox game screen to your PC, you can also only use a Xbox controller. Mouse and Keyboard won't work as a game input (you can only use the keyboard to enter text when the virtual keyboard is shown).

    There are plans to get Keyboard and mouse working, if there ever is a way to stream the PC screen to the Xbox console.

    But currently, if you're playing on the Xbox console, it's controller only (even if the controller is "guesstimated" with mouse and keyboard inputs).

    What Title would you like to see receive mouse and keyboard support for Xbox One?

    I won't mind any game having mouse and keyboard support because things like divinity 2 would be really good to use for mouse and keyboard as long as you can't use it against people who are on controller i don't see a real big problem with it. I personal
    would like to use it in some games.
