Forums - Microsoft - XB1 Getting Keyboard And Mouse Support

I'm not an Xbox fan. But dangit, I hope you guys catch a break soon on not becoming a Steambox. KB/M by itself isn't bad, but compiled with everything else, it seems like MS just wants to turn XB1 into a Windows 10 PC.

 

This could be something. Imagine a console that gives you games you buy on that console also on pc, is backwards compatible, can be used as a pc and you can play psx games on it, via an emulator, for a small price.

On Topic: cool stuff. This was known for a long time though...

I'll keep my opinion to myself but I'm sure a few people will reflect my thoughts on this:

Really? As if we already need to know the obvious? Anyway, microsoft said it was coming, so obvious it'll be here soon.

This "who needs a Xbox, I got a PC" thing is getting old. Advice for the mods, lets consider calling a form of trolling. Its becoming an issue in many threads.

No. This has been said of other platforms before in some shape of form, but it is only a problem now because its Xbox. Preferential defense is wrong. And as another user indicated, this would be a problem even if it wasn't preferential. Saying you prefer a controller option on another platform or saying Microsoft is showing a pattern of melding the console and PC, isn't the same as something like there is no point to getting an X1.

I understand your point BUT has for me i'm new here and never heard of that story. So everyone start somewhere and older user should understand that.

p.s. my opinion wasnt about flame war or anything (so i expect Wisdom of older user comprehension with new user)

ignorance of the rules doesn't excuse violation of them. Especially since they are readily available to you. I personally want to beleieve you were flamming based on a couple of recent threads, but honestly this comment isn't even flamebait. However, the thread became heated regardless.

Boy, they're really giving people no reason to own an X1.

By giving them more control options that they promised a while ago? Don't think so.

Well then consider the situation at hand now. This has gone on for far to long in the xbox discussion. You don't see people on the Nintendo or Sony Discussions consitantely trying to squeeze these things in.

I tend not to visit Sony threads so I don't know if this is true on that front. However on the Nintendo front, you are either as ignorant as I am with Sony threads or are downplaying. ex: "Hmm this is a thread is about a Wii U game. I know!" ...

"Nintendo should go third party and bring this game to the PS4/X1/PC."..

"This Wii U game is nice! I can't wait to buy it on the NX!"

"They should really save it for the NX as a launch title and abandon the Wii U owners waiting for this or any future game. Do they really matter?"

"Great game, but I don't want to buy this console as I find it expensive, underpowered, not supported enough, or all three :/"

These are among the general posts I see or have seen regularly that I don't or mostly don't speak up on.  Some are flammatory. A lot are non-flammatory opinions that can be perceived as an attack depending on current events. However, am I going to say policy that the mods should adopt is that they should end those cases and ban people regardless? No. Cases by case basis you can tell who is flamming, just becasuse current events have shifted the general viewpoints of the Xbox does not mean everyone should be banned by their consistent opinion of that case. Much like when the NX was announced people have the viewpoint of the Wii U onwards had a more definitive shift. 



If they allow key mapping for games that would be pretty neat. I remember getting a mouse and keyboard for my Dreamcast and kicking arse in Quake 3 against other players; who probably only played on the pad.

Saying that though.. it seems as though MS is slowly but surely wittling away at Xbox, as brand for consoles and slowly moving it more towards PC territory. Which tbh, is proabably the best direction they can go at this point.



This was already known a long time ago. Were you living in a cave?



Proud to be a Californian.

Well this thread got entertaining fast. Good feature though ill keep an eye on it.

At that point rather go with my PC.

Anyhow, a mouse and keyboard would make using things the web browser more appealing. Maybe some games will even use it like Halo Wars 2.

its true though. its not trolling its just facts.

Halo 5 wasnt even that good. everything else I can get on PC and have it be far superior.

 

The user was warned for this post - VXIII

but fortunally your aint a mod. and it my opinion and i'm allow to speak up live with it.

People agree with me, maybe mods will consider warning people, and we'll see what happens.

I don't want to stop you from speaking, I just want to see less of that in every Xbox discussion.

Horrible idea. 

You can't protect one console over others on a forum about all the consoles, games and so on.  



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.  

 

 

 

 

I am on the other side of my sig....am I warm or cold?  

Marco....

Better not be supported in multiplayer games or people with KB+M will have a distinct advantage.

Try reading the tweets again. The first one was when Spencer mentioned it and the second one is more recent and verifies it. Clearly I wasn't 'living in a cave' otherwise I wouldn't have dug up the original tweet to help frame the second tweet.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


Just for shits and giggles at all the haters, I'd love it if this made Age of Empires, Starcraft 2, Total War, etc. come to Xbone as console exclusives



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
