Mouse for games - fails to work in some

I plugged a USB corded mouse into an OTG adapter into my Android's USB. It works fine in the OS, in the game Merge Mansion, and in the shopping app AliExpress. But the two games within the AliExpress app, the mouse is ignored. Is there a way games can access the touchscreen input directly so they don't see a USB mouse? Can this be corrected somehow? Would a bluetooth mouse work better?

I tried the emulator Octopus (an Android app which makes the mouse behave as the touchscreen in the game), but Aliexpress closes quickly within it, just as it closes quickly within Bluestacks on the PC, it seems to hate being fiddled with.
