Keeping mouse cursor inside a Windowed game?

OrbitzXT · Nov 17, 2012, 08:58 AM

I'm wondering if there is any method to keeping the mouse cursor within a windowed game, lets take Starcraft 2 for example. I only have one screen and like to play games in windowed mode so I can watch shows/movies right next to it. In a game like SC2, moving the mouse to the border of the screen to move the camera is troublesome in windowed mode. It'd probably make more sense to post this on the SC2 forum, but I can't because my forum account was banned (Inappropriate name if you're curious). So might anyone have any ideas?

He said games like SC2. Have you ever tried to play an RTS with a controller?

Controllers aren't always an option.
