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.

The lag you're experiencing is a common trade-off with these tools. Unlike a native mouse, gamepad input is routed through additional software translation layers, which can introduce small delays.

That's great to hear! Using a gamepad as a mouse can be a handy workaround, especially if your primary input device is malfunctioning or you're looking for an alternative. While the feature may have some lag and limited capabilities, it's a useful tool for basic navigation.
