Xbox one - keyboard and mouse?

crooksy80

How does everyone feel if they added an option to use keyboard and mouse? I know a console is a console for a reason but some cant afford a high-end or mid range of, plus lots of other games on console allow keyboard and mouse? What's your thoughts if you agree or disagree

Currently, the Xbox One has NO mouse support and only partial keyboard support in a lot of its games. The system would need to be added by Microsoft first, and they have indeed been talking about it. Lets wait for E3.

Nope the option for keyboard and mouse is there for Xbox one, Microsoft has already said developers need to add it, Minecraft works fine with it and fortnite is slowly getting it aswell (edit) fortnite keyboard works as in you can run, change weapons ect.. just like on pc on ps4 the mouse works and there's talks epic games is adding the mouse to xbox, the software is there jist need developers is add it, I love keyboard and mouse but find consoles better for relaxing on

Yes

Wouldn't let me post the picture but I'll copy and paste
"But according to Mike Ybarra, Xbox's engineering lead, Microsoft could theoretically disable keyboard and mouse support — it won't do that, though. Why? Well, the company wants developers to be able to make that decision themselves. They must make their games compatible with the controls as they see fit. Aside from that, keyboard and mouse setups benefit some players who might have accessibility issues."

No

Nope =( I did much better with KB/Mouse once upon a time, but old age, overuse, abuse, and hard working has left my knuckles and fingers in a state where I can type reasonably well, but for a game that requires fast reflexes, I have to have a controller, and even that is getting problematic (light attacking requiring quick, repetitive trigger pulls or button presses... I prefer heavy attacks because then I can at least play for an hour or so without needing ibuprofen for my hands)

So, nah, I have to stick with controller. But, the option should be there for those who want the other way.

It actually does just need developers to add the controls for it

That's a relief, but still kind of unfair PS4 with keyboard. We are able to type and text in chat box in game. Unless if it's like movement only for example, final Fantasy. Then ps4 don't have movements as well. In honestly, ever sense removing windows xp, I see its greatly possible. For keyboard and mouse movement in game, instead of controller. But wouldn't pc be better for those whom want to use keyboard and mouse movement, especially with addons?

You make a good point, at the moment the only game that has keyboard and mouse fully working on ps4 is fortnite, other games coming soon. As for the pc part i used to own a pc and its to much effort haha love consoles but would love more games on console to consider having the option

I know this thread is a year old. Sorry for the necro. But I just saw that Razer put out a wireless keyboard and mouse for the Xbox One. Any chance of keyboard support being added to Xbox to support this?

xAk_MoRRoWiNdx

dont care about kb/m. Just gimme addons!

Starlock

Other - do not care. Would not use it.

I use the Keyboard on Xbox One when people don't have a mic and or not using it. So I use the keyboard to type in the message.

Wait I'm confused. Does ESO currently support mouse and keyboard on either ps4 or xbone?

All text boxes can be filled in with a keyboard, eso with a chatpad is godly, devs decide to enable mouse or keyboard for the gameplay its, ESO is undoubtedly better with a controller then a keyboard/mouse.
I raugher get add-ons and some more settings customizing options

Blaqk_EyeD

Yes

I'd like to see keyboard and mouse on Xbox but I read something that said ESO won't be getting it because they would have to change the UI to make it work. I also doubt they would want to have two separate UIs for key and controller people. The PC UI is radically different.

Devil_Keyz

No

No, I moved from over from pc to Xbox because controller vs controller is more even in pvp then m/kB vs controller

They already support the controller UI on PC, so I don't see why it would be a big deal to support the kb/m UI on console. FFXIV did it.

Yes

Why would anyone say No?

If you didn't want to use the mouse/keyboard then you'd just stick with the controller....

Completely agree. It is great to have options.

Danikat

Yes

It doesn't really affect me since I don't have an Xbox, but I voted yes because I think everyone should be able to choose whichever inputs they prefer.

I could understand if a game which was exclusive to consoles and was never designed to work with a controller didn't support keyboard and mouse, but that's obviously not the case with ESO.

(Also even then there could be a way around it. On PC I can play any game with a controller if I want to, or even use it to do things like make an Excel spreadsheet. I'm not saying I'd want to or that it would be better than using the keyboard and mouse, but it is possible and I'm sure the same could be done on a console.)
