    Currently you can click buttons on consoles with a keyboard and mouse but you can't drag levers or switches etc. Is a dragging feature going to be featured in tsw7 or not?

    you can?

    hover over the lever, press and hold A, and move one of the sticks (i forget which one) in the direction shown by the bar that comes up.

    We're a bit behind on consoles because mouse sticks haven't been invented yet....I think he was referring to playing with just a mouse & keyboard;)

    Yeah, this sounds like an issue with incomplete KBM support on console.

    Ah I misread - we do not support Mouse at all currently, no plans at this time to do it but I will ask engineering what's involved!

    You'd be surprised just how many games on XBox have a solid degree of keyboard and mouse functionality just at the OS level, without the devs having even tested it or necessarily realised it's there. But the ones who do put in the time to optimise it, it can be pretty good.

    I use a keyboard all the time for TSW on XBOX in addition to the gamepad and I seem to recall that there is some mouse functionality although I never use it.
