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.
