Looks like, Microsoft plans to undergo a complete transformation, and its XBox One platform won't be an exception. In a twitter conversation with a fan, Xbox chief Phil Spencer revealed that the company is working to bring mouse and keyboard support to the current iteration of its console.https://twitter.com/XboxP3/status/623516307137269760Previously, the Xbox One is known to support keyboard for the use of basic text inputs. However, the console has never been compatible with the mouse. Though there have been third-party adapters for both PS4 and XBox One, but for the first time the Xbox One will get complete in-house Microsoft integration.“I suppose the Xbox One could benefit in non-gaming ways from mouse and keyboard support if someday if ends up running a full or almost-full version of Windows 10 where those devices could be useful. Though again, PCs have been able to be hooked up to TVs for years now, but it’s still a pretty niche practice to sit on your couch with a keyboard and mouse on your lap,” points out a Forbes report.However, currently Microsoft's focus seems to be Xbox One to PC streaming, and the mouse-keyboard support may have to wait for some more time.
