Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

    FWIW, I play a lot of the sort of games where you use the mouse as a cursor to click on UI elements, so I actually like that it isn’t captured and I can still click on other programs’ windows. (For example, looking things up in the game’s wiki while playing something like Oxygen Not Included or Stardew Valley.)

    I can see how it’d be super-annoying in a shooter, though. I don’t recall it ever being an issue for me, but I’m not sure if that’s because it “just worked” correctly, or if it’s because I just happened to run my shooter games in “real” full-screen mode instead of borderless window mode without really thinking about it.

    Is there a reason why “real” full-screen mode doesn’t work for you?
