Does remapping functionalities in a mouse tool violated the Windows Store policies

Question

Hello,
i've programmed a mouse tool with that i can remap my mouse keys. Is that allowed for a Windows Store app?

(I'm not sure if I understand everything correctly in the policies and before I waste my time I'd rather ask)

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Is that allowed for a Windows Store app?

There are no other Store policies that mention remapping mouse keys. But aased on Store policy 10.2.8, you must obtain user consent to change any user’s Windows settings, preferences, settings UI, or modify the user’s Windows experience in any way. So please make sure you've gotten user consent before the app uses its function.

Thank you.
