    Why can't You Allow Keyboard and mouse for Xbox Cloud Gaming?


    I know there are probably a thousand people asking this question but we always get the same answers.

    "But players who use controllers will have an unfair disadvantage!" Well guess what, the in some games, like Fortnite for example, some people use controller, and some people use keyboard and mouse! Well, imagine if the developers tried to fix that problem and completely removed one of them!

    "It would require too many resources to make!" https://www.ign.com/articles/xbox-cloud-gaming-mouse-keyboard-support Take a look at that. How many resources would it take to do something you've already done?

    So why won't we get it?

    :)

    Does anyone else feel this would be cool??

    No as it's is up to the developer to allow or disallow keyboard and mouse

    If you are playing pure pc games then you won't have an issue

    If you use cloud or remote play you need a controller as the games are designed for controllers not keyboard or mouse

    Can you guys please get keyboard and mouse support for Xbox Cloud Gaming? If not then can you explain why not?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good evening

    Keyboard and mouse support for Xbox Cloud Gaming is not currently available. There are a few reasons why this might be the case.

    One reason could be that keyboard and mouse support for Xbox games on console has been a controversial topic in the past. Some players feel that using a keyboard and mouse gives players an unfair advantage, as they can be more precise and faster than using a controller. To address this concern, Microsoft has chosen to not offer official keyboard and mouse support for Xbox consoles, including Xbox Cloud Gaming.

    Another reason could be that many Xbox games are designed to be played with a controller, and adding keyboard and mouse support could require significant development resources. It's also worth noting that some games, such as Fortnite, do have official keyboard and mouse support on Xbox, but this is implemented by the game developers and not by Microsoft.

    I understand that you would like to see keyboard and mouse support added to Xbox Cloud Gaming, and I'm sorry that this is not currently possible. However, I don't have any information about Microsoft's plans for the future, so I can't say whether keyboard and mouse support will be added at a later date.
