*Sorry for the desk noises, the mic is really sensitive and setting the controller up and down is not helping.

In this video I show you how to make a gamepad virtual mouse cursor that can navigate around the scene and interact with the UI. This works with the new input system, any canvas scale and canvas type, the PlayerInput component, and you can adapt it further to fit your needs easily.
We use a gamepad or controller and pipe the input to a Virtual Mouse in the Input System. In our Input Action Asset UI map (created from the PlayerInput component), we add actions for the position and click of the Virtual Mouse. That input action asset is used in the Event System to replace the system mouse values.
