Xbox Console: any way to enable hardware mouse input?

Originally posted by TheElixZammuto November 1, 2023 Hi everyone, I tried succesfully to run a WebView2 on my Xbox console. The only problem is that the cursor does only work when using the gamepad and not an attached hardware mouse. The mouse does work fine on apps like Dev Mode home. Is there any way to make it work and listen to events? I thought this was possible since the Microsoft Edge does detect the connected mouse and respond to its events. I'm more than happy to know if there are any workaround to this too (like some native APIs that must be bridged or something similar). Thank you and have a good day!

This would be very helpful for my UIs

Sounds good to me. Perhaps useful in emulated DOS games or light-gun games.

Useful for FPS and scummvm games

Yes, mouse and key is a must!

It would help a lot with ScummVM and DOSBox!

We definitely need this! Not just full mouse but also keyboard support should be enabled, if not already.

This would be great! Could use it for my light gun games perhaps! Been dying to play house of the dead and time crisis!

This would've been great if they did support it!

I would love this, as I play DOSBOX games and can't play Worms Armageddon without mouse and keyboard.

+1, this will bring so much more possibilities!

YTReviveMe avatar Jun 23 '24 18:06 YTReviveMe

So much existing homebrew would benefit from this as well as potential future ports.

Dosbox (PC emu), Winuae (Amiga Emu), Hatari(Atari ST Emu), GzDoom port. Raze, Descent. Dark Forces II. Webview of course. Any future ports if people wish to do like Open RCT2, Open Transport Tycoon, Xash3d.. Quake, Quake 2, Quake 3the list goes on and on and on.

Going back to dosbox.. there are SO MANY great mouse based classic games for the DOS PC's that this alone would make it worthwhile!

This would open up so many possibilities for the Xbox One.

100% down to be a tester for some mouse implementation

Always up for testing this. Been waiting for mouse support!

Hey all - I appreciate all the passion here! Are these asks all related to WebView2 on Xbox? Or about Xbox mouse support in general? For example, does DosBox or ScummVM use WebView2?
