Battlefield 1 on Xbox....

Back to my question of keyboard and mouse in the game. I've not been into the 'meta' of keyboard and mouse on the Xbox One in regard to gaming. Restrictions were always in place to give fair play, all players have the same control method, the standard controller.

However it's been noticeable to me to see players in Battlefield 1 who are being controlled differently. I see the same reactions on PC because that's normal with a keyboard and mouse. But to see those same reactions on XBox, it's very noticeable. It's more than just quick reaction times. In an out of place way.

Akin to the difference on PC in WoW between a mouse and a keyboard turner.

Normal Xbox controller turning is slower than anything else, even with a pro-controller. With the best controllers there is no way a player can twist and turn and move so fast in such contortions, and, shoot so accurately. Of course there's something else 'at play' and in use.

So yes you can attach a keyboard and mouse to an Xbox, especially using the Microsoft Insider program app. But that doesn't make them usable in the game.

So to answer my own question it's simple, there's more hardware allowing connection of a keyboard and mouse that makes their input recognized as a controller. Like this device. Interesting but expensive. The game is good but it's not worth doing this... Depends on the gamer I guess. It's a lot of hassle to go through to gain superiority....
