Do you want to connect the mouse and keyboard to your Xbox devices so that you can play games, use applications and navigate in the dashboard? Not all games are supported, and all Bluetooth keyboards will not work. Here is what you need to know.
Delivery of the mouse or keyboard with Xbox devices
This applies to the Xbox One family (including One X and One S), the latest Xbox X and S series control devices.
The easiest way to connect your mouse or keyboard to your console is to use a wireless USB connection. You can connect the mouse or keyboard in the USB ports in the front or background of the console.
The wireless mouse and keyboard should also work, provided that they use the wireless USB Dungel. No Xbox control unit can connect directly to the Bluetooth keyboard or a mouse that does not come with Dungel. This also applies if you want to connect wireless headphones to Xbox.
Once you connect your mouse, you can create things like the indicator speed and swap buttons by pressing the Xbox Guide button and moving to the definition files and system> Settings> devices and communications.
Some terminal Dungel combined combined for both the mouse and the keyboard. Some users have reported problems to get these two donglene in one working on Xbox, so the number of miles may vary. You should consider using a USB wireless connection if you encounter these problems.
What games support the mouse and keyboard?
Microsoft does not maintain a database for gaming that supports mouse control and keyboard. There is no way to see if a game can use these inputs on the store page as well, so the only way to know is definitely is trying yourself (or searching the web in advance).
Supports many mouse games and keyboard, including archers from the first person like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Warzone), Gears 5, Metro Exodus and Warframe. Several other titles are also supported by Sea of Thieges, Fortnite, The SIMS 4, Minecraft and Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Go and write with the keyboard as well
The keyboard is very useful for entering the text, and this is one of the main reasons for connecting the keyboard to your Xbox devices. You can use an actual keyboard to enter a text anywhere you are required to enter the keyboard using the keyboard that appears on the screen.
You can also use stock switches to move in the dashboard as if you were using a Xbox controller (unfortunately there is no mouse index support to wrap the user interface).
There are also some useful keyboard shortcuts that you can use to wrap faster. These are closely similar to Windows, so if you are aware of the Microsoft desktop, it will not be surprising to you.
