Press any button on the preferred game controller to link it to Xmouser. Press VIEW + MENU to disable/enable the Xmouser features when needed (e.g. while gaming). There is also an auto-disable feature for full screen applications (see menu). It will play a short confirmation sound. It will warn you when the battery of the controller is almost empty.

Xmouser for Xbox Controller gives you access to mouse and keyboard input on your Windows PC through your Xbox game controller. No actual mouse needed. The left analog stick controls the mouse pointer, the d-pad mimics the cursor keys, button A performs a left click, etc. It also supports quickly moving and resizing windows among other useful features. Please check it out and be sure to check the controls summery below.
