If you listen to the podcast, one of the developers clearly states that the Minecraft beta on Xbox One supports mouse and keyboard input. You can view the video above which is bookmarked to that statement. Heres hoping that mouse and keyboard support makes its way to the final release too and its not just a perk for beta testers. Well let you know as soon as we know more.

Fantastic development, something I'd love to see in more console games going forward.

TechnicPuppet · Aug 23, 2017

Not an issue for me but they should block it games where it would be a big advantage.

Greigor The Fellhand · Aug 23, 2017

would love for full Mose and keyboard support so RTS's could be ported to Xbone,

would love to play dawn of war 3 on my tv

--------------
on the game case they could show a mouse and keyboard icon

And so it begins

No excuses for AoE4 now

Interesting.

I wouldn't put it to use myself, but it's an interesting inclusion.

Blam · Aug 23, 2017

This is awesome.

Jaguar Victory · Aug 23, 2017

Make it part of the OS so developers can choose to enable or not. I want it in Minecraft/RTS. Don't want it in Overwatch unless paired against other KBM users console or PC.

Lom1lo · Aug 23, 2017

I hope if they enable it in every game, you only get matched against other people with mouse and keyboard. Crossplay between xbox and pc for everygame + matchmaking only with current input method would be very good

If they put this shit on the Switch version for when I feel like it, it would be GLORIOUS

I know it's highly unlikely and a very minor use case, but I felt like I should mention it anyway.

Kind of fucked up, won't M/KB users have an advantage?

Yeah, they can't block XIM4 because it disguises itself as a controller so Devs can't detect and block it

But this way however Devs can hopefully openly see if it's controller or M+K they're using and can do changes based on that because of that this is good

An advantage ... in Minecraft?

The is crossplatform with PC so this would have been happening regardless.

My bad, I read Minecraft as Halo 5 Guardians.

Ah that's fine then

I know... but the imagery was too funny too resist 😀

El Sabroso · Aug 23, 2017

nice, now please test support on gears of war or halo MS so more shooters follow this route

Exactly.
AoE on Xbox please, Microsoft! Should not be too difficult if Xbox supports mouse and keyboard and it's sold via Windows Store (UWP).

TechnicPuppet · Aug 23, 2017

So potentially stream RTS games to my laptop and play them there with mouse.

<< Do they already have something out like this but with Joy-Cons?

There actually is a keyboard that will slot between the two joycons!

Yup! I really hope this happens

LukasTaves · Aug 23, 2017

Okay, I'll take Age 1, 2 and 3 DE with mouse and keyboard support, but I demand controller support for age 4.

Head.spawn · Aug 23, 2017

Awesome.

Finally, but still awesome.

Hopefully this is just the start and xbox gets mouse and keyboard support across a wide range of games.
