  1. Unable to get keyboard and Mosue to work in game mode playing Fortnite


    I have just purchased a GamerTech US Keyboard Model No. XC-5130 gaming keyboard and using a standard M-SOFT mouse for my son to play on Fortnite.



    The keyboard and mouse both work in the XBOX to access menus and click on options.

    The mouse and keyboard seem to work in the set-up functions within Fortnite but NOT when my son enters game mode. I just want my son to be able to play as he does with a controller and the usual game type options but with a keyboard and mouse.

    We have confirmed that the XBOX is fully updated with all upgrades installed included the recent one that enables support for mouse and keyboard.

    When my son accesses set up in FN the keyboard partially works as the only active key is Escape so that seems to indicate FN understand the hardware.

    HELP PLS

    :)

    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.
