So basically, i have a laptop and i like to play keyboard and mouse games on it and when i want to play games with an xbox controller like castle crashers, i have to switch the primary monitor to my second monitor (which both have the same resolution). Its annoying to do and i REFUSE to play games in windowed mode because it looks bad and is distracting to me. Any help would be great on how to change the secondary monitor to the primary game monitor. Thanks.

I know how to play the game on the secondary screen but only in Full screen border-less. Here is how:

1. Launch the game.
2. It will launch on the primary monitor.
3. Change the game to border-less window mode.
4. While in the application, hold windows button, shift and then...
5. Press the arrow keys to transfer the application the the different screens. The direction of the arrow key will be where the monitor is.

Eg. If monitor 1 is on the left and monitor 2 is on the right and the primary screen is on the left, hold windows button, shift and then right arrow key. The application will then move to monitor 2. This will only work if it is launched in border-less window mode.

Hope this helps.
