How to Use Mouse and Keyboard in Overwatch 2 on Xbox

Want to use a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller in Overwatch 2 on console?

Mouse and keyboard are arguably easier to play with than controllers, so it makes sense to use them.

Overwatch 2 was released on October 4, 2022.

Since its release, the game has had many known issues.

Some known issues are server disconnects, cosmetics, items, currency not showing up, and others.

In this guide, you will learn if Overwatch 2 supports mouse and keyboard for Xbox, PS4 or PS5 and how to use them.

Does Overwatch 2 have mouse and keyboard support for consoles?

Overwatch 2 only partially supports mouse and keyboard for consoles such as Xbox, PS4 and PS5.

If you plug a mouse and keyboard into the console (using an external adapter), it may not work properly.

For example, you cannot turn to the extreme right or rotate 360 degrees while moving.

Also, you won’t be able to look down completely in the game.

According to one Reddit user, if you’re playing against a PC player (in the same lobby as them), your mouse and keyboard should work properly.

However, other players say this doesn’t work after the latest update.

To use the mouse and keyboard in Overwatch 2 on Xbox, you need to plug them into an external USB hub/adapter.

Next, plug the adapter/hub into the Xbox USB port and the mouse/keyboard icon will show up in the game.

After connecting them, you will only be able to perform some actions in the game.

For example, you should be able to use the keyboard to type.

However, you will have limited movement when using the “WASD” keys on the keyboard or moving the mouse.

This is because Overwatch 2 does not fully support the use of mouse and keyboard for consoles.

It’s extremely buggy and almost unplayable, so it’s not recommended.
