Comment (by i30817):

 Analyzing the current design, the virtual gamepad gets hidden and has a
 bit of movement slack that starts at the center deadzone of the key group
 because

 The vast majority of adventure games don't need it all the time
 People are imprecise touching the right keys without a visual cue, so
 starting at the center in a neutral zone is a safe default.

 This design is bad for

 games that need another device than the mouse at the same time, so they
 need to reduce further the slack zone to allow mouse cursor touches
 games that need speed and precision at the same time

 I'd suggest that since the majority of games using mixed mode mouse cursor
 and gamepad only want the arrow keys it could be valuable to also be able
 to set the visible\active gamepad groups in this mode, or less rule
 based... if a virtual gamepad key is NOT mapped, it could be
 invisible\deactivated in this hypothetical mixed cursor\ virtual gamepad
 mode.

 I'd also suggest maybe being able to decide if you want invisible or not
 in general. Disabling the invisible setting would turn it fixed.
