Use of a wireless mouse with the x box series x controller

I have a HOTAS One on a 3m USB extn + a wireless mouse and keybaord (Leadsail) running though a wireless USB dongle on the front of the XBox. FS on XBox with this setup runs really well and behaves more like a PC flight sim experience. 100% better than XBox controller experience IMHO.
HOWEVER: there is an ongoing issue with many FS mouse users encountering mouse cursor freezes, often on the flight planner/ world map but sometimes in the cockpit too. The issue is described in a (now long) thread/post and we are trying to get MS to acknowledge it / fix the issue. It is random in occurance but affects a lot of players using a mouse (wired or wireless). Mouse cursor loss experiences vary from user to user, from those who can’t game at all as it freezes so frequently/quickly, to others like myself who can get 2-3 days gaming in before encountering a cursor freeze.
Good luck with your new setup, but just be forewarned of this known issue. The thread on the whole issue is here if you want to find out more-
