hello!
I am currently running two displays. I have been having a big issue with my mouse "wandering". When I am playing swtor GSF the mouse can be used for turning and banking. someimtes I yank my cursor all the way to the right to initiate a faster turn rate(the farther from center the cursor is the faster the rate of turn) if my cursor off my screen and onto the neighboring desktop, if I clk I am totally screwed because that means i just gave up total control of my ship. Is there not a way where I can set up some type of edge barrier so my mouse doesnt wander. my latest brainstorm on this was to offset the physical position of the displays narrowing the space in which my mouse could wander down to a tiny piece in the corner. I sure hope my babble is making some sense. I apologize to whoever reads this message and still doesnt know what I am talking about. ill check back later regardless of whether or not I get it fixed.

thanks TONS in advance you guys

Shiv

in the graphics settings of the game, look for an option to "confine mouse cursor"

It also sounds like you're running in borderless windowed mode, you might have to switch to full screen.

I tried that, the thing is if it wanders while in fullscreen it automatically alt-tabs and minimizes my game, NOT GOOD. hehe.

unfortuneatly the game doesnt have a "confine mouse" setting running windows 8.1(64). It has to be a setting somewhere. Being in Fullscreen doesnt help it makes the problem worse because instead of the mouse just wandering off screen, in FS mode if you click on the other desktop it minimizes the game and auto alt-tabs you.This has become frustrating. I was having the match of my life and lost it because I lost control of my ship a few times due to its stupid idiotic wandering. How can I corral this dis-obedient mouse?

Unextend your display to the other monitor when you're going to play the game?
I also run dual/triple monitors, and I never have this issue. I do see my mouse go onto the other monitors and move around and such, but it doesn't have any control. (but it will do things like bring up the controls of a fullscreen movie, but it can't touch them)
Have you checked the settings for your mouse in control panel?
