DxWnd
- Great for Win95/98 like games such as StarCraft, Diablo and Quake. Many presets are already included.
- DxWnd will automatically apply any configurations while open, by simply opening the desired game.
- Slightly unintuitive interface, the in-game performance might get worse.
Mouse locking
- Certain games do not lock the mouse inside the actual window, this can result in some rather annoying behaviour on multiple screens.
Cursor Lock
- Utility program that locks the cursor to window borders or whole screen.
- Locks only when window is focused, doesn't interfere with task switching.
- Allows creating custom shortcuts for automatic cursor locking.
- Ability to open one program and lock another to support launchers.
Clip Cursor
- Small utility that allows locking the cursor to any currently open windows.
- Program doesn't see windows that were opened subsequently.
Borderless Gaming
- Open source and simple to use application.
- Features hotkeys for locking or hiding the mouse cursor.
- Lacks automatic mouse lock during game focus.
- Default hotkey may not work on some systems.
