Keyboard works on Xbox, just not a mouse!

i have my roommates keyboard and my mice, I am able to select space to continue, move around, pick up and drop survivors, open the menu, but not look around and use the mouse at all. I would love this as an addition to DBD, as I would be able to play the Nurse and Huntress with significantly less hassle!

    Xbox and PS4 are strictly against being able to use a keyboard and mouse on console as it give an advantage over controllers. The fact that you can't use a mouse is probably Xbox/PS4's doing, not BHVR's.

    I believe Xbox has stated that it is up to the developers if they want to implement mouse support for Xbox for their game

    Well then! I sure hope they allow a mouse soon.

    It's developer's choice when it comes to input. Keyboard and mouse can be used on games, such as fortnite being the most popular. One thing I don't get, if PC can plug in a controller and play like it was a console, why can't a console do the same with keyboard?

    As far as I know you need a Microsoft xbox certified mouse in order to use it on your console
