Xbox Series X Testing Keyboard Key Mapping for Enhanced Accessibility and Versatility

To utilize the keyboard key mapping feature, Xbox Insiders can access the Xbox Accessories app, create a new profile or modify an existing one, select a button to map, choose Primary or Shift, and then move to the new Key tab. While this offers greater accessibility, users should note that each controller button can only be mapped to a single key, along with any combination of modifier keys (Win, Shift, Ctrl, Alt). For instance, mapping Ctrl+Alt+W is possible, but not Ctrl+Alt+W+E.

As this feature is still in beta, keyboard input support remains limited and game-dependent. While a full list of supported titles is yet to be released, Microsoft may expand this list over time. Some users have reported a glitch where certain titles display a “trial” tag if the functionality is claimed but not available. Additionally, the “learn more” button is not functional at present, but this is likely to be addressed in subsequent updates.
