Razer and Microsoft are working on an API that makes PC peripherals compatible with the Xbox One and Xbox One X

One of the advantages that PC users always refer to when they refer to why they opt for that platform to play, is the number of peripherals with which they count to take advantage of all kinds of games: keyboard, mouse, control pad, joystick... the list is huge and offers interesting alternatives.

Historically in the case of video consoles this has not been the case. We have found exceptions, of course. We can use a steering wheel, some models of keyboards or mice, to name just two examples, but nothing comparable to the versatility that the PC offers in this regard.It is a gap that Microsoft and Razer want to end

And it is that both companies are working hand in hand to offer the compatibility of Microsoft consoles, be it the Xbox One or the Xbox One X, and thus use the _gaming_ peripherals that the well-known company has on the market, which are compatible with the PC world.

Information has been brought to light thanks to the folks at Windows Central. Some images that show how even you can use Razer accessories that connect via wireless or those that use the well-known LED light systems to create a more immersive environment .

The technology responsible for achieving this compatibility is called Razer ChromaIt is an API developed to make Razer's wireless peripherals work on Redmond's consoles and although it will offer support for some of the most interesting configuration options, it will not prevent us from facing certain limitations.

So, for example, in the mouse we can use all those USB models compatible with Windows, including mice with wireless connection ports Limitations They arrive because they can only support the use of a maximum of 5 buttons on a mouse and those that make use of a Bluetooth connection could not be used.

For now there is no more information about it and we will have to wait for more news about when this improvement will reach the consoles of the American company.
