You can turn off mouse mapping by going into the app's PlayCover settings and unticking the "Mouse mapping" option. Is that what you are looking for?

this could cause some problems, such as you can not input any character into to one label. But this is not the biggest reason i gave up this setting, the biggest issue is while playing some games, such as the recent HonKai Star Rail, if some view (personally I think) which is not renderd directly by the game engine (Unity) itself, but as a web page, you just can't use you mouse (controlled by playtools) to click that web view anymore in anyway, instead, your mouse clicking is all captured by the game view or game menus/ui which is under the web page.
One thing maybe useful for your team I have discovered is that: while mouse with playtools can't click that web page, i switched to the macOS's native control tools for ios apps, called Touch Alternatives, and then i use two fingers touch the trackpad with a very little move just for simulate a likely click at the screen, i succeed and be able to scroll or click that web page, and easily close that web page then bring myself back to the game view. is that an known issue? I have seen your team working on some big change with playtools the other repo, so i wish all I know can bring you some thoughts.
