Availability

Available on the Chrome Web Store for desktop Chrome. Install the extension and use every feature free for the first 3 days of play, then keep it with a one-time license.

Price

Free trial for the first 3 days of play (a day counts only when a game is opened with Cloud Keys on), then US$5 once, with no Cloud Keys subscription. Xbox accounts, games, and any required cloud-gaming subscription are separate.

Keyboard and mouse

Keyboard keys and mouse movement become virtual controller input. Click a mapping to choose a key, adjust sensitivity and deadzones, and release mouse capture with Esc or F8.

Gamepads

Remap buttons on a connected controller that desktop Chrome recognizes with a standard layout. The extension includes controller detection and a live input tester. Custom-axis controllers, wheels, and pedals are not supported yet.

Game profiles

Recommended keyboard presets for Fortnite and Call of Duty come from the Cloud Keys server. Players can customize controls for each game and restore the defaults. Game detection depends on the Xbox page exposing a recognizable game identifier.

Personal settings

Custom mappings and selected controller identifiers stay in the browser. Personal profiles are not uploaded or synced between computers.

Limitations

Mouse emulation follows each game’s controller turn-speed and acceleration limits. It is not native PC mouse input. Use a game’s native keyboard and mouse support when available and suitable. Compatibility varies by game and controller.

Privacy

Gameplay input is processed locally. License activation and validation contact the Cloud Keys service; Razorpay handles checkout and payment details.

Name

Also written as “Cloud Keys for Xbox Cloud Gaming”. It is not related to other software sold under the Cloud Keys name, such as developer key-management libraries.

Publisher

Built by Stackframes. Cloud Keys is independent software and is not affiliated with Microsoft or Xbox.
