Windows 11 Now Lets You Easily Type With an Xbox Controller

Summary
While constantly reminding Windows 10 users that support for the OS will end soon, Microsoft has highlighted enhancements in Windows 11, including a new keyboard that facilitates easier typing with an Xbox controller.
This will be available with the next Windows 11 update.
Despite both being Microsoft products, Xbox controllers have previously been difficult to use with Windows.
The new keyboard is more compatible and includes useful controller shortcuts, aptly named “accelerators” by the Windows Insider Blog.
To use the gamepad keyboard, Windows 11 settings can be accessed to enable it, then select the Keyboard layout followed by Gamepad.
Microsoft seems to be dangling this upgraded basic functionality to those with Windows 10, which the company no longer supports.
