When switching from keyboard & mouse input to a controller (connecting it), it should hide the OS cursor like I'm pretty sure it did in previous versions (don't quote me on that, I'm not sure if this is a bug or a suggestion if it was never in the game).
Once connected, the cursor stays present on all inventory/setting pages while connected on controller. If the cursor is moved to another monitor, it will reset to the middle of the screen as shown in the video below. I should not be putting up with the hassle of placing my cursor just near the bottom corners of my display, as to not pop up the task bar.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Invalid.
There is currently no option to hide the mouse cursor while in a game UI. However, the mouse cursor is hidden while in the game itself outside of a UI. Many players use both controller and a mouse, since selection from a UI can be much faster with a mouse.
So, this would be a feature request to have an option to hide the mouse cursor.
