Windows 10 finally lets you use a game controller as a mouse!

Now you can finally use a gamepad as a mouse in Windows 10. Although there’s a bit of lag and the features are fairly basic, at least it works.

    Just go to Settings > Bluetooth & Other Devices > Game Controllers and set the controller to mouse mode.

    That's great to hear! Using a gamepad as a mouse in Windows 10 can be a handy workaround, especially if you're looking for an alternative input method or have limited options. Although it may have some lag and limited features, it can still be useful for basic navigation or accessibility purposes.
