Once, on mac there was a third party software : OSCulator. https://osculator.net/

I don't have a mac and I don't know if its updated and works with recent OS version.

On Windows there was glovepie but this seems definitively outdated. ... Maybe autoHotkey ?

Still interested if you find a solution...

Hi list,

I am trying to use a USB mouse to control a patch with the [hid] or
[hidio] objects without this mouse being a mouse pointer in the
operating systems OS X and Linux. This is to avoid this USB mouse doing
accidental clicks in the OS. The [hid] objects are working, I am looking
for a way to have these two OSes not use a certain mouse as pointer.

Replying to myself that on Linux this can be done using the xinput
command.

Still looking how to do this on OS X and also on Win7 and Win10...

cheers, P
