Multiple monitor setup mouse troubles

I recently got hold of a few old monitors and plugged them all in to try out. Never done anything like this before so apologies in advance if this is a stupid question but:

 

What program could I use to stop the mouse from changing screens without an intentional input from me?

 

I use the edges of my monitors a lot to navigate around and having to consciously stop before reaching the edge is really putting me off the whole experience. Just want something to stop that from happening so I can switch what screen I interact with at will. I've tried DDMM and found that it's too buggy to achieve consistent results.

Are you using the edge of the screens to size windows? Could just use Windows Key + Arrow keys to do that, assuming you're on Windows.

Not just sizing windows, stuff like finding the scroll bar, changing tabs, or any button around the edge like show desktop etc. I could learn shortcuts for these but I would still have problems with things like my mouse wondering while I'm playing a game which would tab me out of it so I want to find a better solution

I see, I'm assuming your playing windowed / borderless? Your mouse can't wander out of a full-screen application.

Not always. Might just be the DDMM acting up but I've had the mouse wonder out of fullscreen apps before, hence why I was looking for an alternative
