I have an idea:
Go to Control Panel, and search "mouse"
Select "Change how the mouse pointer looks"
Here's the one part I'm not so sure about. In theory you should just be able to find a blank .cur file online, and use that, but I'm not sure...
It's not quite on/off though, perhaps you could configure it to be a toggle with an ahk or bat script...

Ok I've found a way, but it's a bit tedious.
1) Download this. It's a blank .cur file (used for cursors).
2) Go to the mouse pointer options I previously mentioned.
3) Go to the customize box, and make sure "normal" is selected. (Like so)
4) Click "browse", and navigate to wherever you downloaded the blank.cur file to. Select it.
5) Save the scheme as something, and then hit cancel (so that you're not stuck with an invisible cursor). Also make sure "Allow themes to change mouse pointers" is ticked.
6) Create a theme with the invisible mouse pointer scheme, and make sure you have a different theme with the normal scheme to switch back to.
7) Write a small .bat file which will switch between them, or possibly an .ahk script, since I think that'd probably work better. I might be able to make the .ahk script for you if you tell me what you named the themes, and what drive they're on, but I'm sure there are other people here who are more proficient at AHK than me.
8) Obligatory triple question mark step: ???
9) Obligatory profit step: Profit
(Sorry again for the bootleg solution)

Nomousy perhaps? It's the only program I know of. Perhaps you could rig something up in AutoHotKey to run and close the program. I don't know too much scripting.

Yes, I did try these... Although what I am currently experiencing is a bit complicated to explain.
I never modded Skyrim outside from the workshop mods. So when I tried installed ModOrganizer and the mouse fix mod, and (being a total noob at modding Skyrim), I must have done something wrong...
Because whenever I start the ModOrganizer launcher, the game launches in windowed mode and I can't get it to go fullscreen.
TL;DR, I worked on the issue for a day, non-stop, and I fucked up.
So I just wanted a quick way to temporarily fix the issue, and not lose my whole day on it again. :P

Also, you made me realize that the first fix might just work, but I tried it using the MO launcher, which as you know, doesn't launch in fullscreen...
I'll give it a try, thanks!

That's about it. I'm looking for a tool or a way to hide/show the mouse pointer by the press of a key.
If it helps, here's the reason.
Since this morning I have been experiencing the "mouse pointer issue" in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Basically, my computer's mouse pointer won't go away when I launch the game. I've tried mostly every possible thing (I installed many mods to get rid of it, and even checked integrity. No results).
I've been at it all day and I just simply want to play Skyrim again...
Instead of getting rid of the issue, I'd like to just hide the mouse pointer whenever I want (example, when I want to play Skyrim), and toggle it back afterwards.
Please don't suggest installing a mod unless you are sure it'll work, as I have tried many already with no success.
Thanks!
