Default two mice, one for each monitor hooked to one desktop?

I've recently begun using two monitors on my Win 10/7 setups that use
a single desktop. Apparently, the standard configuration is to use a
single mouse to scroll between monitors. This works to some extent,
but is it possible to use two mice, with each mouse having control
over what appears on each monitor? Surprisingly, I found little
after googling other than this:

Tried the software suggested there and it works, sort of.
Unfortunately, some key apps I use become buggy when using that
software to control the mice.

Any suggestions for a free equivalent that would do a better job
welcomed.

Thanks.


This seems to do what it says

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the portable version. Thought we
had a winner, but clicking is erratic. If I create a circle in Affinity
and hold while using the other cursor to play a video, I get sudden
extra lines at random well outside of the circle when I press play.

If I could figure out how to keep VLC media player active even when
switching back to Affinity, then I could just use the space bar to pause
the video and forget the extra mouse entirely. However, once I start
working within Affinity, space pause function of VLC is lost.


What about using alt-tab to switch to another window ?
Would that work ?
