Xbox One may get mouse, keyboard support
Looks like, Microsoft plans to undergo a complete transformation, and its XBox One platform won’t be an exception. In a twitter conversation with a fan, Xbox chief Phil Spencer revealed that the company is working to bring mouse and keyboard support to the current iteration of its console.
Previously, the Xbox One is known to support keyboard for the use of basic text inputs. However, the console has never been compatible with the mouse. Though there have been third-party adapters for both PS4 and XBox One, but for the first time the Xbox One will get complete in-house Microsoft integration.
“I suppose the Xbox One could benefit in non-gaming ways from mouse and keyboard support if someday if ends up running a full or almost-full version of Windows 10 where those devices could be useful. Though again, PCs have been able to be hooked up to TVs for years now, but it’s still a pretty niche practice to sit on your couch with a keyboard and mouse on your lap,” points out a Forbes report.
However, currently Microsoft’s focus seems to be Xbox One to PC streaming, and the mouse-keyboard support may have to wait for some more time.
