📋 About This Mod
The mod allows the player to fully control the broom with the mouse (rotate, descend, ascend). Vanilla keys are preserved, you can still use them alongside the mouse, if you want to.
Comes with two versions: normal and inverted. Use just one!
Unpack the 7z you downloaded before installing.
To install copy zBroomMouseNormal_P.pak OR zBroomMouseInverted_P.pak to where your game is installed:

The Army of Two returns: we went away after Gotham Knights, but we're back for Hogwarts Legacy to mod yet another Warner Bros game. That said, we're not tied to WB games only. Next ones could be Atomic Heart, maybe Kerbal 2 (we are fans of Kerbal 1), and Starfield.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community approval (3,474 endorsements) — clearly a must-have for broom users.
- Simple, focused purpose: no bloat, just better mouse control.
- High download count (153k) shows it's widely used and trusted.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2023 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only affects broom controls; if you don't use brooms often, this won't matter to you.
For players who find keyboard-controlled broom flight clunky and want smoother, more intuitive mouse steering. If you spend a lot of time flying on a broom, this mod is a no-brainer. Skip it if you're fine with the default controls or rarely use brooms.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to check if the mod requires any script extender or framework; if not, just drop the files into your mod folder.
- Test the controls in a safe area first to get used to the new mouse sensitivity.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable the mod and check for conflicts with other broom-related mods.
