Keyboard remapping is now available for certain Xbox controller models compatible with PC and the latest consoles. Here is what you need to know.

Most multimedia keyboards come with a Windows driver disk to handle the keyboard events on the extra keys, but Linux is often left out in the cold.

Xbox says keyboard button mapping is coming to controllers but for the moment, it’s only for two options. This may roll out to more controllers in the future.

Xbox Insiders are now able to utilize a feature that lets them map keyboard controls to the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and the Xbox Adaptive Controller.

Stardew Valley, for instance, has its own keyboard controls for macOS, so why not let someone use those instead of mapping the controller buttons from the iOS version of the game to different keys?

In a significant stride forward, the Xbox Accessories app now supports keyboard button mapping for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and the Xbox Adaptive Controller, per IGN.
