Why is my scuf Xbox controller moving my mouse cursor?

good evening

This issue is likely caused by the controller being recognized as a mouse or other pointing device by your computer. This can happen if the controller's drivers or firmware are out of date or if there is a conflict with other drivers on your system. Here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:

Unplug the controller and then plug it back in to ensure it is properly connected.

Update the drivers for the controller. You can do this by going to the manufacturer's website and downloading the latest drivers.

Check for any Windows updates and install them. This can fix any conflicts between the controller and the operating system.

Try using the controller with a different USB port or on a different computer to see if the issue is isolated to your current setup.

Check the controller settings on your computer and see if there is an option to disable it from acting as a mouse or other pointing device.

Disable or uninstall any software that may be causing a conflict with the controller.

Hi, I just tested and with a controller, there is no issue. Just when using a mouse to move the cursor around, the cursor will disappear over the map.

Thanks Jason for you’re answer !

But when i move my cursor by Microsoft, it jerks. I don’t think its the Game compatibility.

What’s the polling rate of the mouse on Xbox Serie X ?

What’s the delay to the answer of the keyboard and after the mouse ?

Normally, the controller can perform basic functions on the desktop like moving the mouse cursor, left and right-clicking, etc. Suddenly all these functions ceased to work and it won't work in any games now either.

That isn't default behaviour. To get the controller to also work in Windows as a mouse you'll need a third party application. Xbox controllers don't function as a desktop mouse by default.

Sounds like something you're using to get the controller to emulate a mouse is misbehaving.

But when I have the reticle fixed at the center, shouldn't the mouse cursor stay in the center too? When I move the reticle down (reticle is still centered), if I keep moving it down my normal cursor pointer will appear, as will the taskbar even though the reticle is still in the center
