I have been having an issue that I have not found a fix for within 5.4. I am trying to set up the ability to use the gamepad to control the mouse cursor. I can move it around the screen, and when the cursor hovers over the buttons, it shows that it is hovered, but I cannot click using the gamepad face button bottom. In the past I know there was a way to add more buttons to the Click Event Keys array, but I can not find a way to add additional items into the array. Is there a solution that anyone can give?

hey @Sw1ftW1ngs how are you?
I think you can do something like this in your Character Blueprint:
As you can see, you can use Press Pointer Key and Release Pointer Key to convert any gamepad button into a “left click”.
“Widget Interaction” is a component you should add in your character blueprint and assign the corresponding widget to it.
Let me know if this helps you!
Hey. Unfortunately, I had tried this before making the post. I think my issue is that I am using UI widgets, and the widget interaction is looking for clickable items in the 3D world. At least that’s what it seems like with my lack of experience.

So it has been a while but I do have a way that seems to work for me, not exactly what I wanted but it does work.
I have the mouse cursor set to move with the left stick of the game pad, and I have the buttons set to focus when hovered that way when the face button is pushed it presses the button.
