Microsoft's new gamepad keyboard layout for Windows 11 enhances usability with Xbox controllers by incorporating button accelerators and improved alignment, catering to handheld gaming needs.
The layout, currently in beta testing, enables Xbox controller users to efficiently navigate and type within Windows 11, reinforcing Microsoft's commitment to improving handheld device functionality.
As Microsoft competes in the handheld gaming market against Steam Deck, this new feature reflects an important step towards making Windows 11 more accessible for gamepad users.
Despite advancements, Microsoft must resolve critical limitations such as controller-based logins and on-screen keyboard access in text fields to fully realize the potential of this feature.
