  1. Use Xbox One controller as a keyboard?


    Hi! I would like to know if there was software that would allow me to type with an xbox. Something like this:

    On screen keyboard with xbox controller navigation (D-pad to move and A to type)

    I honestly need this because when there is Text Input in a game which supports xbox controller and the only way to type is to use a keyboard.

    :)

    How could or would a game like Age of Empires work on console?

    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.

    Wireless USB Keyboard with xbox one

    It is recommended to use Microsoft Wired Keyboard, as wireless adapter for keyboard will interfere with Xbox One's internal wireless adapter for Controllers or WiFi, and Xbox One does not have drivers for keyboard wireless dongle.

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

    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.

    Some questions about the Mouse and keyboard support

    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.

    Either W10 or the new Xbox One Preview Controller Update broke compatibility in PC games.

    I have the exact same problem, the xbox one controller totally disables keyboard input in games. Just yesterday I was able to play with the controller using the chatpad for keyboard shortcuts, today I come to find Windows 10 had an update and now I can't
    use either the chatpad or the keyboard in the games with controller support.
