Xbox boss says keyboard-and-mouse support isn’t ‘far away’

For this round of consoles, both Sony and Microsoft went with internal chip architecture that behaves much more like the guts of a traditional gaming PC. But a potential addition to the Xbox One may make it almost indistinguishable from a computer.

Microsof gaming boss Phil Spencer implied on Twitter that the Xbox One is getting keyboard-and-mouse support. Really, that means the system will work with a USB mouse because the system already has keyboard support. Sure, a few companies like Xim4 have released adapters for systems like the PlayStation 4 to enable you to plug in a keyboard-and-mouse setup, but Microsoft is talking about adding official support.
