Virtual Keyboard on Edge (Xbox Series X/S)

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is

Welcome to the community. I hope I can help you in the best way.

Hello Egbert, the Chromium-based Edge browser is available in limited testing on Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. Users of Alpha Skip-Ahead, a fairly limited group of people, can now use a mouse and keyboard to control the browser, which ensures a closer PC experience.

Full mouse and keyboard support is still in testing on Edge and there is no release forecast for all Xbox users yet.

Best regards,

Virtually all Xbox One games are compatible

It will not take advantage of the resolution and features of Series console. It will deliver Xbox One levels of performance on Series S, One X on Series X

Good morning! As long as you are talking about the Series S or X, then according to sources yes, almost any Keyboard or Mouse will be suitable. Please see below:

"The USB transmitters that ship alongside wireless gaming mice and keyboards handle all the data communication between your peripherals and your console. This means that almost all wireless keyboards and mice will work with Xbox Series X and S."

There is a very informative article on the devices here:

Of course, that being said, devices made specifically for the system will have more finely tuned compatibility.

Hopefully this helps!
