# Cloud Keys

> Cloud Keys is a Chrome extension for keyboard, mouse, and gamepad remapping on Xbox Cloud Gaming. Built by Stackframes.

- **Availability:** Private beta. Public downloads and purchases are not open yet.
- **Price:** The planned launch price is 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; Dodo Payments handles checkout and license delivery.
- **Publisher:** Built by Stackframes. Cloud Keys is independent software and is not affiliated with Microsoft or Xbox.
