Microsoft has started testing a new controller keyboard layout that will allow you to type using a controller in Windows 11. The gamepad can also be used to navigate the operating system. reported on the company’s blog.
The new layout, which is being tested as part of the Windows 11 beta channel, includes button accelerators: the X button can be used to go back, the Y button can be used for the space bar, and the menu button can be used to press the Enter button. The keyboard keys are aligned vertically, making typing on a gamepad more comfortable.
This innovation will be especially useful for portable Windows devices like the Asus ROG Ally, but Microsoft still has some fundamental issues to solve, such as the inability to log into Windows using a controller or on-screen keyboard when clicking in text fields.
The launch of gamepad support in Windows 11 is likely aimed at keeping the operating system compatible with portable gaming PCs.
In addition, the updated accounts menu in the Start in the beta version of Windows 11 was fixed – developers made the logout button visible. The last update made it difficult to switch accounts, which caused criticism from users. Among other innovations, there is the emergence of a function to change the scrolling direction of the mouse wheel and others.
