[XFCE4] How to lock mouse on Dual Monitor setup? / Switch monitors with key

Recently, I started using a dual monitor setup, but I'm having trouble with the fact that I can't switch monitors/lock the mouse on a monitor, and this has been messing up the sensitivity of my drawing tablet

Is there any way to make so I can lock the mouse on a single screen and switch between monitors with a key press or something similar?

I do not know how far you have searched, I was curious and tried.

I found some explanation here:
https://9to5answer.com/lock-the-mouse-cursor-to-one-screen-in-linux-ubuntu

From which the 3. option is interesting and the tool might be useful.

I tried the 3rd option but I couldn't configure hax11 no matter how much I tried
At this point I'm probably just going to disable the 2nd monitor whenever I need to draw anything.
