Gamepad desktop controls

I'm looking for a package that will let me use a gamepad as a mouse for a PC getting hooked up to a tv. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

AntiMicroX. I use it for the same reason.

If you have a mic, also consider using Talon to navigate with voice. Saying "talon wake" and "open freetube" instead of navigating with a controller saves a lot of time.

I think you can do that with AntiMicroX.

Use steam, setup a desktop profile in settings while in desktop. https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/Handheld_Wiki/ search for desktop controls.

SteamOS does this when Steam is running somehow.

Maybe https://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/ still works?

It wouldn't be the end of the world to reimage it but I've got it set up with bazzite already.

Try using a PS4 controller. The touchpad works as a mouse.

I'd also recommend getting a wireless keyboard + mouse combo.

PS5 controller also works.
