How to Fix Roblox Mouse Cursor Glitch & Uncontrolled Camera Spinning
How to Fix Roblox Mouse Cursor Glitch & Uncontrolled Camera Spinning addresses the operational symptom where in-game mouse cursor refuses to lock to center, leaves the game window, or causes the camera view to spin uncontrollably in a circle. It is predominantly caused by multi-monitor display scaling mismatch in windows, dpi scaling conflicts, or conflicting controller / virtual joystick virtual input drivers. and is resolved by set windows display scale to 100% on primary monitor, enable "override high dpi scaling behavior" in roblox compatibility settings, and disconnect idle flight sticks/wheels.

How to Fix Roblox Mouse Cursor Glitch & Uncontrolled Camera Spinning
Are you using a dual or triple monitor setup with different resolution scales (e.g., 100% and 150%)?
Step-by-Step Diagnostic Checkpoints
Pinpoint the failure mechanism on your device before modifying files:
Are you using a dual or triple monitor setup with different resolution scales (e.g., 100% and 150%)?
Windows cursor clipping boundaries fail when crossing virtual monitor borders.
Virtual gamepad driver is outputting phantom analog stick drift.
Prescribed Action:
Match display scaling across all active monitors in Windows Display Settings or play in Exclusive Fullscreen (F11).
Do you have vJoy, DS4Windows, or an idle flight simulator controller plugged in?
Roblox detects raw DirectInput axes and maps analog deflection to camera yaw.
DPI virtualization issue within Windows compositor.
Prescribed Action:
Disconnect external controllers or disable vJoy virtual devices in Device Manager.
