Your import of pynput.mouse.Controller shadows your import of pynput.keyboard.Controller, so you are attempting to use a mouse controller as keyboard controller on the line keyboard.press('1'); please use a different name for each controller.

In my tests I generally import the top level modules keyboard and mouse, and access the controllers with the qualified names: keyboard.Controller and mouse.Controller.
