    Why people hate Kinect so much

    Well not all the issue is around the spying. What happens when Kinect stop to function, can I still play my game?

    Take for example, my mouse broke, I can still use my keyboard to navigate around. It's not efficient, but I still can do it.

    If both mouse+keyboard broke, yeah then I need to change the keyboard and or mouse.

    So, why is it that if Kinect broke, then I cant play until I get it replace? Is this true or I'm just misinformed?

    Can't select game mode on fortnite

    My son was playing fortnite on xbox and somehow changed setting to keyboard/mouse. We did not connect a mouse or keyboard (not do we own one) and cant figure out how to put game back to controller.

    Hi Lina,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with RDR2. I understand that you want to use mouse and keyboard to play this game. However, not all games are supported by mouse and keyboard and unfortunately, this is one of them. You may check the list of games that support mouse and keyboard at this moment through this link:

    https://www.purexbox.com/guides/all-xbox-games-...

    Mouse and keyboard support on Xbox games are managed by the developers of each game and will determine if it will be supported. If you want to request for it to be enabled in the future updates, you may submit a support ticket directly to Rockstar using this link:

    If I want to play with the mouse and keyboard I will use the Start menu.

    Why not make the xbox application a console experience?
