Microsoft supports native keyboard and mouse support to Xbox One, delivering a viable controller alternative for select titles. Fortnite, Call of Duty, and more are compatible with these accessories, enhancing precision and increasing familiarity for PC converts. We've rounded up the top keyboards compatible with Xbox One.
Made for Xbox
The Razer Turret for Xbox One is the first (and only) officially licensed Xbox One keyboard and mouse. It features a lappable wireless design for comfortable couch gaming, lined with mechanical keys, a dedicated Xbox button, and Xbox Dynamic Lighting support. It's weighty and feels outstanding in hand if you can overlook that expensive price tag.
Cut the cable
Cut the tethers with the Logitech G613 wireless keyboard, positioned as the ultimate cable-free solution for gamers. Wireless is increasingly appealing, with Logitech boasting a one-millisecond report rate and its in-house Romer-G mechanical switches. And with up to one year of battery life, this is the best hassle-free keyboard for Xbox One.
Best on budget
Razer's hit BlackWidow line goes fun-sized with this mini model, ideal when looking for a more compact keyboard or simply cutting back the cost. That includes Razer's orange switches for high performance without disruptive noise, a removable cable for secure storage, and all the RGB lighting you'll ever need.
Try it for cheap
Want to try Xbox One mouse and keyboard support, but wary of the limited pool of titles? Logitech bundles a wireless keyboard and mouse combo for less, pairing perfectly as an entry-level buy. It's nothing glamorous but covers the essentials.
All you need
The Apex Pro packs all you need from a gaming keyboard, although paired with an equally premium price. It's a sturdy RGB-draped peripheral built for daily gaming, with changeable actuation on a key-by-key basis for insane customization. Moving custom profiles from PC to Xbox One is also simple too via onboard storage.
Couch gaming
Corsair's K63 is ideal for living room gamers, offering a couch-friendly, "lapboard" alternative to Razer. This setup centers around its mechanical K63 mechanical keyboard, featuring Cherry MX Red switches. With its accompanying detachable lapboard, this creates a cohesive surface for mouse and keyboard use.
The keyboard for you
The Xbox One has a growing list of Xbox mouse and keyboard games, enabling title-wide benefits like increased precision and improved ease of use for some gamers. These also make up the best Xbox Series X|S mouse and keyboards, with backward compatibility with all accessories across the console generations.
The Razer Turret for Xbox One isn't budget-friendly, but as the first officially licensed keyboard, it delivers on its premium price tag. Buyers will secure Razer's leading mechanical keyboard and mouse technology, compacted into a lap-friendly design for living room gaming. Topped with Chroma RGB lighting and a dedicated Xbox button, no other keyboard offers a comparable experience.
The Logitech G613 is also considered among today's top gaming keyboards, with its wireless feature well suited for a clean setup. It's a more affordable mechanical alternative with low-latency connectivity and a sleek finish.
