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?

SteamOS does this when Steam is running somehow.

Maybe 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.

I think you can do that with AntiMicroX.

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.

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

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.
