General / Off-Topic Okay, definitive answer needed. Native mouse & keyboard gaming on Xbox. Will it happen?

[Deleted member 110222]

Title. Some people in other channels say it will, some say it won't.

Is there any statement from someone who matters at Microsoft regarding this question? If so, could you provide a link?

Cheers.

Thanks.

I will say this. If it does happen, I don't think we'll be seeing Razer Blackwidows or Corsair Kxx's on Xbox.

I predict an official Xbox One keyboard and mouse. At this point I'd settle for that. Actually, if such a thing did happen, and it also offered a lap mount, like Corsair's Lapdog, I'd be all over it.

Yes it will happen, it's in the pipeline, Mike Ybarra from Xbox has confirmed it just yesterday. But no one knows exactly when. I don't think many people will use it, though.

Answer is yes, as I have stated many times battlefield 1 and astroneer have full keyboard support so MS having confirmed mouse support I guarantee it will happen unless developers decide that its unfair and force a specific peripheral.
