[PD] 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)?

[Peter P.]

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
