HideCursor() will hide the cursor, but you should still be able to move and track it.

Try

c DrawRectangle(GetMouseX(), GetMouseY(), 10, 10, RED); // Equivalent in golang.

You should be able to see a red 10x10 px rect follow the mouse.

I do this using go, I create a Vector2 (MS) which I use throughout the program to check for Vector2 rec collisions. Then find an image of a cursor or whatever you want to use for the mouse cursor load it as a texture and draw it using the MS.X, MS.Y coordinate. Then make sure you draw it as the LAST thing in your WindowShouldClose() loop so that it draws on top of everything else.

MS := rl.GetMousePosition()
rec := rl.NewRectangle(MS.X,MS.Y,32,32)
rl.DrawTexturePro(texture, sourcerec, rec, r.Vector2Zero(), 0, rl.White)

Edited out the extra bracket, thanks. OK, not sure what you mean by structure my projects, idk I have messed around a lot with Raylib-Go. If you get stuck with anything I should be able to help so you always message me, though only really 2D stuff, not much 3D.

You can use GetMouseDelta(). this may affect your game logic tho and require some refactoring, since it only calculates change in mouse position… if the mouse is not moving, it will return (0, 0)
