Xbox One Xbox One Gets Keyboard & PS4 Controller Support With USB Device (UPDATED)

[KN1GHTMARE]

Those eager for a way to interact with their Xbox One using something other than gestures, voice control, and the Xbox One controller will soon be in luck, thanks to a third party device which now enables different input devices to be used on the system. This new functionality is offered as part of the CronusMax, a third-party USB device that was previously known for enabling Xbox 360 controller support on PlayStation 3, DualShock 3 support on Xbox 360, and keyboard and mouse support on both 360 and PS3, among other things.

The latest update for CronusMax features what's described as "full Xbox One support." What this means is a wide variety of input devices are now compatible with Xbox One, including keyboard and mouse, the Wii Remote, DualShock 3, DualShock 4, and the Xbox 360 controller. Xbox One support will be included in a free update for all CronusMax owners, as well as to new buyers of the $59.95 device.

Well if this works then I will be very tempted and intrigued. Can't say I'll be using a PS4 controller on my XB1 (I should hopefully have a PS4 for that soon enough), but the Mouse/Keyboard function would be great. Maybe this will go the other way as well so that I can use my Xbox controller on everything including my future PS4. One can always hope.

Hmmmm... didn't know they'd finally do this. But I'm not the kind of guy to move in and do this. I'll just stick with the normal controller when I get my Xbox One until it's easy to do it with breaking my warranty. But if my warranty is expired, hehehe, I'll do this. I especially would love to mod out controls for fighting games.

This looks exciting. I might mod my future XB1. I won't go for the PS4 controller but the fighting game controls, I'll go for. C'mon, sometimes, the joystick controls are what make fighting games awesome, so yes, I'll go for this.

Mouse and Keyboard control is awesome for me. I'd love to try that when I get my own Xbox One. It might be a bit clunky but hey, once I get the hang of it.... oh yeah, Titanfall here I come! This mod will be definitely be awesome.

Just so everyone knows this is an illegal hack of Microsoft's athroization protocol for the Xbox one controller and if u use this u can be subjected to being banned on Xbox live. Ps4 plans on authorizing 3rd party companies so u Dont have to worry about being banned but Microsoft does not allow third party companies at this moment.

U also Dont have the ability to use a mic with this product and u will need to buy additional Microsoft wireless dongle for it to works with wireless Xbox controllers and Bluetooth wireless USB adapters for PS controllers. I would do my research and read up on this company and see what they have to say about repercutions of using their equipment on xboxone and see what t Microsoft has to say if your caught using third party controllers on their system.

Yeah, I agree. Kinda miss having a wireless keyboard and a mouse for my system. May have to look into this functionality more.

Oooh... well, then... I'll just wait for the official Xbox One fighting joystick then. I forgot yeah, this can in fact wreck warranty and may ban me too. I'll just wait until they announce official fighting controls.

......... You make a point. I'll just wait for the official controls that can do these. Stuff that Microsoft will support. I forgot that it can definitely wreck my warranty. Thanks for putting it out man. Anybody else reading, heed this guy's words.
