Open the original- What it measures
- Microsoft cites Gears 5 as an example of a game whose text-entry box opens an on-screen keyboard when the right stick is clicked. The example is about chat, and the keyboard types into the game's chat.
- What it does not show
- This is one game. Microsoft's guideline does not say that every Xbox game uses the same control, and it does not describe the keyboard's speed.
