I would like to opt in because I like the new Xbox cursor design.

This is opt-in by studio, thereās an option to enable this or not. Do you really see anyone here requesting to opt in?
So for example in the game (and Iām sure many other simulator games)
We have billboard UI that pops up once the player is near the pet capsules so they purchase a new egg to unlock a pet, though in order to do that they need to click on a button in the UI.
As for surfacegui, there are a few things, first would tie back to the scrollingframe not being working yet (leaderboards would be a good example of this) another thing is having 3D boards which use SurfaceGui to show some IAPs to the player, so these would usually again have both scrolling frames and/or buttons players need to interact with.
So here are a couple use cases made me weary of this,
-
Having tools that are very important to the core game loop, where players must equip and use, the number of tools or what they do can vary/differ.
-
Say as an example we have some building tools where players can equip them and then click on a place on the map to place down items, would this cursor be able to function properly as a mouse would (Given we use UserInputService, etcā¦)
Hope this helps 
No I donāt see anyone saying āopt inā

Okay, but yeah. Go into studio, StarterGui, Properties, Youāll find something saying VirtualCursorMode. Either choose Default (Disabled), Disabled, or Enabled. You can find it here on the first post.
Is there a way I can force this on the player, instead of them having to press a key to activate/deactivate? I highly doubt any kid would know that they are required to press said key to have this enabled. Would be good for some sort of property that we can force enable/disable.
For example, an in game menu should have it enabled, but when the player closes the menu, it should disable. Also allows us to prevent player from turning it on when we donāt want them turning it on.
Player can turn it on when playing game (first person), which I obviously donāt want to happen. (canāt get a screenshot without it disabling cause Iām using keyboard)

Done some recent testing with this, hereās some information I gathered:
-
ScrollingFrames are still incredibly hard to use. I believe they should function similarly to how they do on desktop, where the mouse wheel is used to zoom the camera in and out unless itās hovering over a scrolling frame, where it will be used to scroll up and down that instead.
-
Some mouse events are triggered with ButtonR2, some are triggered with ButtonA. I have no idea why, but it was extremely confusing at first and not intuitive at all. One button for as many actions as possible is the best case.
-
This might not be related to the gamepad mouse, but setting DevComputerMovementMode to KeyboardMouse stops gamepad users from being able to move their character with the default controls.

While I personally wonāt use this, itās great to see improvements to Roblox on Xbox! Are there any more improvements planned for Roblox on Xbox in the future, such as private servers, the loads of UX issues and the plentiful of bugs in #bug-reports:xbox-bugs that still have not been fixed?
How did you manage to get this to work? ScrollingFrame donāt work at all for us with this new cursor.
I understand that Roblox is still working on improving it, but you solution would be good enough for us.
We have enabled this on our game Splash
Itās great!
My wish list:
- Ability to programmatically turn the cursor on and off. On our lobby screen, Iād like to turn on the cursor by default
- All the features planned: scrolling support, text box support and billboard/surface support (in that order)
Iāve written a module that enables basic gamepad scrolling using the DPad. You can find it as a Gist here.
Copy the code into a ModuleScript in ReplicatedStorage and then activate your ScrollingFrame like so:
local GamepadCursorScrollUtil = require(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('GamepadCursorScrollUtil'))
GamepadCursorScrollUtil:addGamepadScroll(SomeGuiElement.ScrollingFrame)
The addGamepadScroll returns a table of callbacks. So if you can manually disconnect them if need be.

Got this weird error (I donāt have Virtual Cursor enabled)

Will we have the ability to change the cursor to a custom image in the future?

Existed to hear, we will enable the feature back when itās ready for testing or finished at all.

Iāve noticed that the scrolling frame now automatically scrolls if the virtual cursor is near the edge of the scrolling frame. It would be great if we had the option to disable this automatic scrolling for certain ScrollingFrames, since it can be sort of annoying in certain cases such as this one:

This is a really nice tool! I have a couple requests for this to be perfect though:
-Ability to activate the cursor on a player. I donāt want the player to be able to bring up the cursor while theyāre playing, only when theyāre in a menu. Instead of having the player bring it up, it would be great if we could bring the cursor up when needed and put it away when done.
- Change the cursor icon (or at least make the default icon smaller). Itās a bit large compared to the full size of the screen.
