Let’s get one thing straight: The Xbox One (including the One X and One S) is a PC in everything but name. It runs a modified version of Windows 10 on commodity x86 hardware using a GPU developed for the mainstream graphics market. True, the exact specifics of the SoC are unlike anything you can buy today at market — but so what? A low-end Atom SoC and a 28-core Xeon Platinum are both capable of running Windows, despite being utterly unlike each other in virtually every practical respect. And that means it’s long past time that keyboard and mouse support came to the Xbox One, since there’s no reason why anyone should be stuck gaming with just a controller.

Now, there’s signs that’s finally happening. Supposedly, Microsoft has worked with Razer to prepare a new line of gaming peripherals with support for Razer’s Chroma lighting scheme in-game. If you’re unfamiliar with it, typically how this works is that the keyboard backlight or mouse light changes color to reflect what’s happening in-game, turning green when your health is good, yellow when you’ve been injured, and red when you’re near death.
