We've long known that keyboard and mouse support was coming to Xbox One. According to a report by Windows Central, it could be coming in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, we've got the first keyboard and mouse officially approved by Microsoft. Made by HORI, the TAC Pro One really has more of a keypad than a keyboard, but that will be more than enough to play games.
