computer mouse/joystick question

is it at all possible to set a pc ot use the joystick/controller as a mouse?

Yes, there are joysticks made for computers, like this .

If you mean for use outside of gaming, I believe you could, though I’ve never done it myself.

Thanks!

yes i mean for outside of gaming. I would like to be able to use the control pad on my gaming controller to move the windows cursor.

I haven’t tried it personally, but I did find this that might help:
