Minecraft Legends supports keyboard and mouse on the Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X game console. So, if you are used to playing real time strategy titles with this combination, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can enable this input.
How to enable keyboard and mouse for Minecraft Legends
Minecraft Legends offers a plug and play connection when it comes to enabling keyboard and mouse input.
Therefore, you simply need to connect these control options to the USB ports of your Xbox console. While a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse won’t work, those that use a wireless USB dongle may be compatible if you plug the dongle into the USB ports of the Xbox.
Once the game detects input from the keyboard or mouse, it should automatically switch to those inputs. At that point, you can turn off your Xbox controller in order to save on its battery life.
When we first connected our wired mouse to the Xbox to play Minecraft Legends, we found that the mouse pointer moves a little bit too slow for our liking.
If you feel the same way, then you can change the cursor speed from the Settings menu of your Xbox. From there, select Devices & Connections > Mouse. You can then use the slider to change the pointer speed.
