i do gaming on PC only using XBOX 360 Controller even for shooting games, and its annoying when mouse moved/keyboard touched accidentally, because it will change in game buttons..(for example RE 5, GTA 4)

is there any way to disable mouse and keyboard only in certain games?

i have small files named "dinput8.dll" which is if i put it games directory it will disable gamepad, im curious is there any file like this that will disable mouse+keyboard?

Just buy yourself a cheap KVM switch and flip it when you want to turn your K&M off. concept should still work for USB K&M's

Otherwise - sell the PC, buy a laptop and use those extra funds to buy a 60" TV and a Xbone = Sorted.

I mean are you sitting on your keyboard? I thought one of the advantages of a controller was you could back away a bit.


One of the switches mentioned above would work, or just unplug it while gaming for the same effect.

Try unplugging the Xbox controller and using your keyboard and mouse for true control and elitism! ;)
