If you are using a touchscreen you would, probably, like to hide the mouse cursor. It's possible to hide the cursor after a small delay or to hide it completly

Hide mouse after a delay

install unclutter

apt-get install unclutter

edit X11 configruation file found in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and add the following line at the bottom

unclutter -idle 0.01 -root

where 0.01 is the time in seconds the cursor should be visible

Hide mouse completely

Use the command:

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf`

to edit the conf file, uncomment the line and add the "-nocursor" to the end of the line

xserver-command=X -nocursor

Reboot and cursor won't appear.
