ive been trying to out if i'm able to use my wireless xbox one controller as a mouse for pc since i have my pc also setup to my tv.

i know if i hold down the xbox button i can use the right stick to move the mouse cursor, but after a few seconds that just turns off the controller which is annoying.

Then i found youtube videos that demand i download a sketchy github file which, lol ♥♥♥♥ no.
Then i found some app on the microsoft store called "xmouser" which wants me to pay for it and again, lol ♥♥♥♥ no

and then i keep seeing posts and articles that claim steam can just allow that function by default, but it asks me to follow these steps: "Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings" which i guess is outdated because "general controller settings" just doesn't exist on my steam controller settings.

so is there a way to have my controller to act as a mouse cursor without downloading sketchy crap, paying for an app that may or may not work, or following outdated steps that take me nowhere?

Sounds like Steam Input is disabled for the Desktop Layout - see if this solves things:
Steam > Settings > Controller > Desktop Layout > Edit > Enable Steam Input

I am using a small free programm called "JoyToKey" for many years for that purpose.
https://joytokey.net/en/

It allows you to assign the buttons of your keyboard and your mouse to buttons and the anlog sticks of your gamepad. So i just assigned mouse movement to the analog sticks, left and right mouse buttons to a and b and some other useful keyboard commands and shortcuts to the other free buttons and triggers. Works like a charm, at least for me.

You can make controller macros to launch movies and such as well, check out Turbo Mode while yr at it.

10 dollar wireless mouse fixes all of this......and FYI windows updates can and will turn it off making it annoying if you do get the controller working as a mouse.....

That app Xmouser works wonders. More straight-forward to use than steam/more common sense) It has a free trial and is just a few bucks. Well, just another opinion ;l
