Keep the cursor locked on the main screen while playing in fullscreen mode
Hi, I have three displays and I need to keep my cursor fixed on the main screen while gaming in full screen. I don’t want to use Windows mode. When I play, I can move the cursor left or right across the other displays, but it affects gameplay. I’ve also tried adjusting the display area by angling the other two screens. The issue is that I can switch to another display by moving the cursor at an angle, but it’s difficult to return. I’m unsure how to get back to the main screen. Maybe there’s a quick solution or software that lets me toggle between displays easily.
There seems to be some respectable options available, including open source tools.
My setup looks like this:
System
Windows 10 Home
GPU
Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 Extreme (special edition, 4GB)
Intel HD Graphics 530 1GB
Motherboard
MSI Z170A Gaming M5 (MS-7977)
Thanks.
I used displayfusion software to configure a key function that locks the mouse cursor on the game screen, which appears to work well so far. Then when I finish gaming or switch displays, I can simply run the key function again to bring the cursor back to its normal position and move it to another screen.
Windows mode:
I believe you're looking to avoid displaying the Taskbar when using Windows Mode - is that correct?
Can you hide the Taskbar?
Simply right-click an empty space on the taskbar and choose Taskbar settings.
