Xbox Series X - Mouse not working at all

Garrett L. · Mar 26, 2021

Recently I have been having issues getting any mouse to work on my xbox series X console. I have had them working in the past but here as of recent I cannot get them to connect. I do have a wireless keyboard that I use that still works normally. But for some reason in trying my wireless Logitech G602 or my razer basillisk x hyperspeed I get nothing. I have tried the normal, plug them into a pc to make sure they still work, I have tried changing the usb port on the series x as well as trying a USB hub (with the wireless mouse and keyboard connected). None of these solutions seems to work. I have even gone as far as to try a few wired mice but nothing. My test is simple as trying to get edge in the series x to move the mouse after they have been plugged in. Keyboard works flawlessly mouse does not.

At this point I am out of ideas and would like to see if anyone has any ideas that I may be able to try?

Edge does not support mouse, Am I right?

I have a similar issue, as my light speed Logitech mouse does not work the the series X, wired or wireless.

Hi,

A keyboard and mouse, wireless or wired only work on a very limited selection of games (about 30+) for other games it's controller only. All Xbox One games with mouse and keyboard support

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!

Hi cliff,

Yes im playing with mouse and keyboard on the Xbox X. My mouse and keyboard work perfectly fine on pc. Its only on the xbox. There's quite a lot of people who have the same bug on the Xbox Series, check this: https://reddit.com/r/Seaofthieves/s/2CW2p8rXoq

They all have the same problem. I hope you guys can test it out and fix it soon.

Yes, you can play Rainbow Six Siege with a keyboard and mouse on Xbox Series X/S.

Connect your keyboard and mouse to your Xbox Series X/S console. You can connect them directly to the console's USB ports or use a USB hub if you need more ports.

Once your keyboard and mouse are connected, start up Rainbow Six Siege on your Xbox Series X/S.

In the game's main menu, navigate to the Options menu.

From the Options menu, select the Controls tab.

From the Controls tab, select the Controller Type option.

Change the Controller Type to Mouse and Keyboard.

Customize your keyboard and mouse settings to your liking.
