Keyboard support support arrives 14th November. Will FDev support it?

though I would suspect that any mouse and keyboard that can work on linux would work on xbox,
Nope as shown in early topic posts console USB controller chipset are restricted in support...

Mouse use is very random and unsupported due to the polling rates on Linux being supported to higher number per second than the console USB does... (if you don't have a PC to lower the polling rate the mouse are useless.)
Keyboards can fail completely as the PC and linux can support Keyboards in the booted OS that don't work at all in the PC bios mode... These USB keyboards dont work at all on xbox one even for typing just plain text. you have to force them to Bios mode and then they work...
If the Keyboards does not include down grade modes in PC software or a key combo to enable down grades they fail to work... Its not just any mouse or keyboard...

Ew.....

considering you can get a linux that is near bare kernel and with just a few megs of stuff can have support for the bare input of near all existing keyboards, that meaning all normal keys + media keys generally work though not special keys, that does suck

Slightly related.

Halo is coming to Steam with full mouse & keyboard support!

RIP my Xbox. I had been thinking of getting the Collection on Xbox, but now that I can play Halo multiplayer soon without paying a subscription...

Yeah, my Xbox is just a media centre now.

I disagree. I hail from Poland and I must say that in majority of cases you cannot just afford a new gaming PC. Why? Thanks to the EU standarization that doesn't take into account the fact that not every country has the same wage. That's why I got Xbox One (S), because it was around three times cheaper than a reasonable mid-range GPU alone. That also impacts the prices alone (should we speak about digital purchases), as new games are usually 60-70 Euro... trick is, 60 Euro for a German is a bit different money than for someone in Poland, as average wages don't get often past 600 Euro.

Wage-wise, for Polish spending around 60 Euro is like a German had to pay over 210 Euro.

I am against keyboard binding stuff in Elite Dangerous' Xbox One. Why? Pad is enough to control everything and keyboard is an OPTIONAL input hardware. Yes, I know some of us use it for chatting (myself included if I go Open), but I prefer two hands on a pad. Another point is that players with a keyboard would have major advantage over players going pad only - as, once again, keyboard is the OPTIONAL device.

As good that idea might be, it comes down to making the skill-gap between players even bigger. We shouldn't put hardware differences into that equation, because PVP is about split seconds in many cases - and we have enough of "gankers" threads around.

Hotas allready broken that a long long time ago...

PVP games like fortnite have shown that they allready could have Multi instances for Hotas and K&M users and just controllers...
The PVP bios is no reason to punish PVE only , No Human vs human combat, only Human vs AI players groups, PG only players and solo players with a forced No Keyboard key mappings option...
Other titles as stated have full keyboard support allready as the other posters allready have stated... other developers allready added Keyboard mapping to games...
 
I still prefer the controls that are adapted to pad and work well due to its simplicity and more user friendly approach. If keyboard would be obligatory for new stuff in ED -- I'm likely to withdraw my support for ED on Xbox One and move to other games.

Why ruin the simplicity?

I doubt this option would be Obligatory.
Keyboard and mouse would be a great addition in Many games so it's an Option
Given the choice in Elite on console Hotas is Good... correct ?
So in other games wouldn't a KB and mouse look as appealing
Not a forced, but offered as an option
Yep its optional for all games...
People need to ignore the scaring and whining xbox press sites that post about this, as current games will not require K&M, developers have to patch it in as an optional add ons..

But if the titles were allready developed and built for PC K&M then developers no longer need to strip that from there title and can leave it in as optional usage...
Aka GEARS 5 is built for PC, so will not strip K&M controlls out of the Xbox one port this time... So its going to be K&M enabled for Xbox one...
