Razer and Microsoft are teaming up to bring mouse and keyboard to Xbox

Earlier in the year, Microsoft gave a presentation to developers detailing keyboard and mouse support on Xbox One.

Update, September 25, 2018: Razer posted this on their twitter teasing the imminent announcement of the partnership, and Xbox's Mike Ybarra confirmed mouse and keyboard support is on the horizon for Xbox One. We'll find out more during Inside Xbox this November.

Keyboard and mouse support for Xbox remains a hot topic, despite never fully materializing. Support for keyboard and mice would open up Xbox to a far larger array of games, potentially, since many titles like Age of Empires DE simply won't work well with a controller. Minecraft (Bedrock version) already supports mouse and keyboard on Xbox One, but so far, that's it.

Earlier in the year, Microsoft spoke to developers about its plans for keyboard and mouse support on Xbox One. Leaked documents we've recently received detail how Microsoft was at least planning to bring mouse support to the April update of the Xbox dev kit. Redmond showed off the sofa-friendly Razer Turret keyboard and mouse peripheral in partnership with Razer, who joined Microsoft for the presentation.

Whether these plans are still set to go ahead or not remains a mystery, but we can at least get a glimpse at what the two companies might be working on.
