Manually-added Mouse/Cursor = Always Visible On Slide
It can be confusing. Where the mouse appears on the timeline is when the mouse effect (movement) will begin. Where it ends on the timeline represents the end of the movement. The shorter the length on the timeline, the faster the mouse moves.
If you add the mouse feature on subsequent slides, the mouse will always be present where it last ended on the previous slide. The idea here is to facilitate someone clicking through a software.
If you do not want to see the mouse on the first slide, you may want to experiment with the Enter From Option in Mouse Tools. Entering from the right or bottom usually prevents the mouse from being seen until it is moving.
You cannot adjust Enter from on subsequent slides, since it will start from where it was left on the previous slide.
For more control, you can try using an icon with motion paths.

Thanks for the suggestion on entering from and using an icon with motion paths. I think either of those would be suitable alternatives.
