Xbox Series S Mouse Input Delay.

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Miguel O., Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

There are a few things you can try to fix mouse input lag and jumpy cursor movement on your Xbox Series S:

1. Make sure your mouse is fully charged or plugged in. A low battery can cause input lag.

2. Check your mouse for any physical damage, such as a bent or broken USB connector.

3. Make sure your mouse is up to date. You can check for updates in the Xbox Accessories app.

4. Try a different USB port on your Xbox Series S to see if that resolves the issue.

5. Make sure your Xbox Series S is not too far away from your mouse, as a weak wireless connection can cause input lag.

6. Try adjusting the mouse pointer speed in the Xbox Accessories app.

7. If you are using a wireless mouse, try using a wired one to see if that resolves the issue.

If your problem persists or the problem is fixed please let me know!

Hiya!

Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to assist with the issue, it looks like you're experiencing some input delay while playing fortnite with a mouse. Which mouse are you currently using with the Xbox one console? As well can you try using the mouse with
another supported game and see if the input delay is there as well? Please let us know how it goes.

Happy Gaming!

There is always input delay because games on Xbox and other consoles aren't designed for keyboard and mouse and to even the odds it's built in by developers to stop cheating

Hello Dylan,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand you want to know if you can connect a wireless mouse to your Xbox Series S console. Yes, you can connect a wireless mouse to an Xbox Series S. However, not all wireless mice are compatible with the Xbox Series S.
To connect a wireless mouse, you will need to plug in a compatible mouse that supports Bluetooth or a USB dongle. Once the receiver is plugged in, turn on your wireless mouse and it should automatically connect to the receiver. Keep in mind that not all games on the Xbox Series S support mouse and keyboard input, so it's best to check the game's compatibility before attempting to use a mouse.

Here are the steps to follow:



- Turn on your console and go to Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories.

- Press the pair button on your mouse or insert the USB dongle into one of the USB ports on your console.

- Select Add new on the screen and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your mouse.

- You can adjust the mouse settings such as sensitivity and cursor speed in Settings > Devices & connections > Mouse.



I hope this helps! If you have any issues or questions, please let us know. We hope you enjoy using your wireless mouse with your Xbox series s.



Sincerely,

Hiya!

Paul again from Xbox Forums Team, I was able to get my hands on an Xbox One Console with a mouse and keyboard set up to help with this issue. I did notice at first the mouse was a bit sluggish, but once I went into the in-game settings I was able to adjust
mouse sensitivity; as well on the Xbox One Settings under Kinect and Devices. I didn't notice any input delay from mouse clicks. If you're still experiencing input delay, then I suggest possibly running the

network troubleshooter to make sure your latency is low and have the correct NAT Type. I hope this information helps.

Happy Gaming!
