How to Connect a Keyboard & Mouse with Your Xbox

Xbox supports keyboard and mouse input, giving you alternative way of control while navigating the Zone. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get your setup working.

1. Using a Wired Keyboard & Mouse

     If you’re using a wired keyboard and mouse, connecting them to your Xbox is simple:

     Step-by-Step for Wired Setup:

• Step 1: Plug your keyboard and mouse into the USB ports on your Xbox console. It’s recommended to use the rear USB ports, as the front panel has only one USB port.
• Step 2: Your Xbox will automatically detect the keyboard and mouse. There’s no need to install any drivers or software.
• Step 3: Once connected, you can start using your keyboard and mouse for navigation.

     Why Use the Rear Ports?

     Since the Xbox console only has one USB port on the front, you might need to use a USB hub if you connect both a keyboard and mouse to the front. To avoid any potential power or connection issues, it's best to use the two USB ports located at the back of the console.

2. Using a Wireless Keyboard & Mouse

     If you prefer a wireless setup, make sure your devices are compatible with Xbox. Here's how to connect them:

     Step-by-Step for Wireless Setup:

• Step 1: Ensure that your wireless keyboard and mouse are Xbox-compatible. Some wireless devices might not work as expected, so check with the manufacturer.
• Step 2: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to pair your wireless devices to the Xbox. This may involve using a USB receiver that comes with the keyboard or mouse.
• Step 3: Plug the USB receiver into the USB port on your Xbox console.
• Step 4: Your Xbox should automatically detect the devices once they are properly paired.

     Manufacturer's Guide:

     If your wireless devices have a unique pairing process, make sure to consult the manufacturer’s guide to ensure proper connection. This could involve pressing certain buttons to sync the device, installing drivers, or setting up a Bluetooth connection.

     Now that you're all set up with your keyboard and mouse, it's time to dive back into the immersive, eerie world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl!
