Xbox one Keyboard and Mouse Question

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.

Hi Leozinn,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. You can connect the keyboard and mouse to the console. As to what is able to be done is limited as it is still new. A keyboard will work with Edge, a mouse will not as there is a built in cursor already
on Edge. Here is a
support link you can look over concerning keyboard and mouse.

Thanks,

Brad

Unfortunately, there are no offical Xbox One mice that can directly connect to the Xbox One without a reciever.

Even the
Razer Turret keyboard and mouse combo that's specifically made for the Xbox One has their own receiver dongle.

So to answer your question: You don't/can't use a wireless mouse on the Xbox One without a receiver.

Correct, I am using a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard with a dongle, there is no other way to connect a mouse wirelessly.

Hi there,

As to your question about Ban's i am not aware of anyone being ban for using a converter, however the information regarding this is not available to us, only the Enforcement Team would know this information,

As for using a converter on the Xbox One you can plug in a keyboard and mouse directly in to the console and the keyboard will navigate the dashboard.

There are games that already have Keyboard and Mouse Support and will allow you to play the game with the keyboard and mouse as the controller's, for example: Warframe is one of these game.

you will however find that not all games support the keyboard and mouse feature.

Please find extra info here:

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.
