In a series of exchanges with fans via Twitter, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has teased that mouse support for the Xbox One isn't far off:
@lgriao @PNF4LYFE @Tak225Th Yep, keyboard and mouse support for Xbox would need to be there for this to work, those aren't far away.

As Spencer subsequently notes, keyboard support is already available, which just leaves mouse support.
With the release of Windows 10 later this month it will also be possible to stream the Xbox One onto Windows 10 PCs.

Agreed, Luke. It looks like Xbox One wants to take the PC route. I guess this is good for accessibility for Window 10 games. It's hard not to like Xbox One as more and more features are being implemented into the system. Talk about your all around entertainment system. Xbox has it...hands down!
And so it begins. The slow but inesorable transiction for XBox from Home Console to PC...
The Dreamcast had it's own keyboard and mouse. lol
the original Xbox was more PC in a box than the X1
MS giving up in the console space?
Revenue for Xbox went up 27% from 3 months, so no.
Now they just need people to buy the XBOX One...I'm sure this news will help!
Handled.
