Microsoft is enabling keyboard and mouse support on
the Xbox One. Select Xbox testers will be able to trial this
new support in the coming weeks, and Microsoft is teaming
up with Razerso Xbox One users can purchase hardware
hat taps into the company’s Chroma lighting effects. Most
wired and wireless USB keyboards and mice will work on
the Xbox One, and it will be up to developers to support
this in games.
“Mouse and keyboard input is not enabled by default for
games,” explains Jason Ronald, director of program
management for Xbox. Each development team knows their
titles best and we support them in creating the right
experience for their games as they see fit, to ensure an
optimal and fair gaming experience.”
This fair experience of keyboard and mouse vs. Controller
will be key for developers to get right in the console world.
PC users typically have a movement advantage over players
with controllers in games like first-person shooters. Microsoft
has been working closely with big and small studios on this
new keyboard and mouse support, and it’s now looking for
feedback from Xbox testers to perfect this before it’s available
later this year.
Microsoft is planning to share more about its Razer partnership
during the company’s Inside Xbox stream on November 10th .
