Have you ever wanted to try out using your keyboard and mouse on the Xbox One? Well, you’ve come to the right place, because today I’m going to explain a simple way of doing this and how to take full advantage of using your keyboard and mouse on the Xbox One.
I’ll first show how to do this with a traditional wired keyboard and mouse and then how to wirelessly connect them to your Xbox One. Do check that your Xbox One has been fully updated before trying to connect your mouse and keyboard as the earlier versions might not support it.
How To Connect Wired Keyboard & Mouse To Xbox-One
nnnnnnnn
Connecting your wired keyboard and mouse to your Xbox One is a fairly easy process. All you have to do is plug them in the back of your Xbox One as shown below and it should immediately start to work. Now if you notice that your mouse doesn’t work on the homepage, that isn’t because it’s broken or anything but the Xbox One homepage is only controlable with the keyboard. Apart from that the mouse should work in any games you want to play, but do check you’ve selected mouse and keyboard in the settings of the game you’re playing.
One downside is that there isn’t much control for the keyboard and mouse in the settings of the Xbox One. You can only adjust the pointer speed and swap the primary & secondary mouse buttons.
