Looking to use Xbox one controller as a mouse on windows 7

[Helpful Tech Witch]

After a faithful conversion of my old Acer aspire 5532 to a desktop, I need a mouse. I only have to one for my family's desktop, so that's a no go. What I want to do is use my Xbox one controller as the mouse, but everything else seems to use it as a mouse and on screen keyboard. Is there any free program that lets you use a Xbox one controler as only a mouse, that works with windows 7?

Also if you happen to have a Dualshock 4 controller as well, the DS4Windows program has the controller trackpad automatically set up to be used as a laptop type trackpad

You can use Steam to do that:

Settings > General Controller settings

Then make sure to enable "Xbox configuration support" with the controller plugged-in:

Lol, doesn't that just let you use it for steam?

Not just Steam,Valve in their wisdom thought of people who want to just use the controller without a mouse or a keyboard,you can even write similarly to how it's done on consoles.

It works on desktop as long as steam is open in the background.

Controller Companion on Steam. Couple of bucks, very customizable and doesn't need Steam to be running.

I used gopher360. It works fine, and I have it autostarted. It's also free, so...
