There is no option to hide the mouse pointer the samsung native mouse pointer anywhere.
I have a s25 ultra and a tab s9 ultra both of wich I use mainly for emulation gaming .
I have the same issue, when I use apps like winlator or whatever emulates and I try to use mouse and keyboard ! I cannot hide the native mouse cursor and so I cannot use mouse for emulation games or whatever . There should be a switch (on and off )somewhere that could easily either decide to go off when a specific app runs in foreground or just let me manually do that please ...it's a huge deal breaker for me and it could change my dex or emulation experience !

Hello, I don't think you can remove the mouse cursor sadly, I have just plugged my mouse into my s25 Ultra and I have tried a few things I'd seen online in the developer options and it wouldn't remove it.
So you would be unable to remove it sorry, if I do end up finding a way to remove I will glady let you know.

I know that it's impossible and that is why I posted here. For a new possibility... sad... there are so many emulation possibilities lost why aren't people talking about that problem when the solution would be to just add a setting in the developer options.... just an on/off for start....

You should definitely make a suggestion to Samsung and if they would add that in a feature update.
Definitely seems like a good idea.

It looks like there's currently no built‑in way to hide Samsung’s persistent mouse pointer when running emulators on your S25 Ultra or Tab S9 Ultra. This “touch emulation” behavior has been part of DeX and One UI for quite a few versions—Android 9 and onwards—meaning even right-clicks often register as taps.
A couple of workarounds that users on Reddit and Samsung forums have tried:
Disable DeX mode entirely and use standard tablet or desktop mode—this restores normal mouse behavior, but it defeats the DeX interface.
Side-load an older version of the emulator or app that isn’t being forced into touch-emulation.
Switch emulator apps: some, like ExaGear on DeX, fully override pointer logic; others rely on pointer-for-touch behavior.
Given Samsung hasn't added an option to toggle this, if you need full mouse support in emulators, your best bet may be using a third-party emulator with explicit mouse input support or avoiding DeX mode for emulator use.
