Xbox keyboard advice

[james_TW]

My son (13) has decided that he wants a keyboard and mouse for his Xbox Series S after trying it at mine, for Christmas - I know it's just a USB connection, but I'm not sure which one(s) to pick up so I'm after a little advice/suggestion. I don't want to spend a fortune (I've spend a crapload on Lego already) but I'm not sure which to get - The ones on Amazon look decent, but I want to look at wired ones for response, but happy to be debunked on that one.

Any advice is welcome - One question though - if it's an RGB keyboard, will it remain lit even when the xbox is off as it will/may retain power when off?

Thanks JTW

I picked up a TECKNET Mini Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Set, 2.4G Cordless USB recently to use on an Xbox, it was £19.

Very lightweight construction but works well with MS flight simulator 2024 (apart from a bug with cockpit mouse view they need to fix.)

I’ve also used wired mouse’s and keyboards, but they’re a pain to use as the wires have to be plugged in and there’s just one port on the front. With the wireless keyboard and mouse the transmitter can be plugged into the rear and left in.
