Honestly, I don't know why anyone would need this, but there are special utilities that can hide and show the cursor with a hotkey. Let me tell you about them.

unclutter-xfixes
This is a rewritten version of a similar utility called unclutter, but with support for the x11-xfixes extension. For us, this means fewer issues when working.
xhidecursor
A simple utility that hides the cursor when a hotkey is pressed and shows it when the mouse moves. Unlike its counterparts, xhidecursor has fewer lines of code and dependencies. Additionally, the utility only listens for the first mouse movement to display the cursor, not all movements. All this means that it consumes fewer resources.
xbanish
This utility can automatically hide the mouse cursor while typing and display it when the mouse moves or a button is pressed. It has x11 support.
