Are you facing the mouse problem (mouse not working) in GTA San Andreas Game on Windows 10 platform? Well, here is the solution for this.

GTA San Andreas was released in 2004 by Rockstar Games and one of the popular open-world game. After sixteen years, the game is still popular. Recently, the game was offered for free for a limited time with the official Rockstar launcher. That’s why a lot of people download the SA game for free.

Lost the ability with the mouse right click and view option in the cockpit earlier, also my view was ever so slightly moving left. Turned out it was my xbox controller (which I use for Drone cam), nothing was touching it, but as soon as I moved the right thumb stick and let go the mouse started working again - so it was like the game was seeing input from that rather than the mouse. 'x-mouse button control' not working with this game long story short, my m1 button on my mouse broke, instead of buying new mouse i got a program called 'x-mouse button control' assigned m5 button as m1 button. X-mouse button control doesn't want to work with dead by daylight. X-Mouse Button Control is a handy little application that allows its users to configure and modify the buttons on a mouse. The main interface of the program includes a lot of different options, most of which many users would probably not use but all of which extend and improve the capability of a mouse connected to the system. If the problem stays with the same button it is a hardware issue. If a single-click always double-clicks, check the settings (Windows mouse settings and/or in Logitech SetPoint/Options/G HUB/Control Center/Gaming Software) to verify if the button is set to Single Click is Double Click.

Well, most Windows 10 users are facing the mouse not working problem in the SA game. However, if you download and install the game from authentic sources like Steam and Rockstar launcher, there are fewer chances to get this problem. But, if you download the game from the internet, there are higher chances to get this problem.
