how to use a mouse or drawing tablet with [hid]-like objects AND disabling it as a mouse pointer in the OS (OS X, Linux)?
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.
Did anyone to do this already?
thanks P

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...
