Phil Spencer: XBOX ONE Adding Mouse Support
Looks like Xbox is continuing the transformation of its Xbox One. First they announced backwards compatibility and game streaming to Windows 10 devices...and now it looks like you will soon be able to use a PC mouse on the console! Engadget saw that Phil Spencer let the news drop on Twitter, saying mouse support is "not far off" on being added to the growing list of features on the One. His exact words?
@lgriao @PNF4LYFE @Tak225Th Yep, keyboard and mouse support for Xbox would need to be there for this to work, those aren't far away.

The addition of that feature and a mouse would allow PC exclusive games to appear on your television screen via Xbox! Games like Starcraft, Hearthstone...basically any Blizzard game for that matter. It would be a game changer for sure.
