Pointer Lock API

Last updated on : 2023-03-20

Note:
Pointer Lock API shows a browser compatibility score of 75. This is a collective score out of 100 to represent browser support of a web technology. The higher this score is, the greater is the browser compatibility. The browser compatibility score is not a 100% reflection for every browser and the web technology support. However, it does give you an estimate on how much you should rely on a particular web technology in terms of browser compatibility.

Overview

The goal of this API is to provide a way to access raw mouse movement data via mouse input. By ignoring boundaries resulting from screen edges where the cursor cannot go beyond, this API provides proper control for first person or real time strategy games.
