Keyboard and Mouse Support

Open Thomastrainiac opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Something cool would be the ability to use a keyboard and mouse with moonlight; Xbox has the ability to use a keyboard and mouse, I see no reason for it not to be implemented here. (Unless of course it's stupidly complicated.)

I've done a couple of Proof of Concepts. Keyboard input is easy (and I know some contributors are working on that)

Mouse is not an option due to the fact the the Xbox OS does not send to us the Mouse data, so we cannot handle this in any way

Yeah but you can use the mouse in the edge browser so it might be possible

Unfortunately that is not the case. The Edge Browser is not a UWP app like Moonlight, but it uses a win32 sandbox. The API for mouse support on UWP does not work on Xbox

What about games like fortnite or call of duty warzone? You can use mouse input there.

Edit: In Minecraft it straight up shows the mouse pointer.
