[MEH] lock mouse cursor

    I guess for the onboard keyboard i discontinue this feature.
    The analog stick controls of the gamepad should be slow enough to precisely stop at every key and the mouse as it is should be exact pointing (if the keyboard is really needed here)
    But as mentioned maybe there are more possibilities for me to use this feature in another scenario.

    Thanks anyway

    Controllers are never that accurate. I like playing games with controllers where possible & I will even play FPS games with controllers but multiplayer FPS where you are playing against other players is just impossible as they have severe advantage over you when it comes to quickly aiming whereas with controller it takes a lot of practice to get a feel for exactly how much pressure to apply & lots of quick wiggles & waggles to counter-adjust when you move the cursor / camera too far or too little.

    I will also always prefer keyboard / mouse over gamepad -especially for point and click games.
    But there are times where sitting on the couch and playing it with a gamepad is more satisfying and comfortable wink

    Also its a good practice for upcoming ps4 support i guess...

    I guess so. It's also possible to play from the couch with those keyboards with built in trackpads that manufacturers such as Logitech create. K830 Illuminated keyboard or the cheaper non-illuminated one that is about €20 or so.

    I remember a friend of mine back in highschool had Broken Sword 1 for the PS1 & he got stuck on the goat part & asked me to help, damn what a pain that was on the game pad considering they didn't even have the analog sticks at the time.

    yeah this is possible, too. I have also a mini keyboard for my raspberry pi. These were also good to play adventures, not very comfortable. Also not everyone has such stuff at home. Mostly users have their big keyboard/mouse and a gamepad =)

    Aye maybe not. I don't have one either, unless you count the one on my laptop. Ok going to go completely out the ballpark now... TV dinner tray table thing. wireless keyboard + wireless mouse. Oh the possibilities again.

    I don't have a choice in where I play as my hd monitor is both my TV, secondary screen for laptop, primary screen for mac or TV for xbox. In other words: I'm sat at my desk regardless. Before I built this desk I was having to use my laptop on my bed which was bloody uncomfortable.
