And now you know why it’s called a curser.
My coworkers make fun of me when I share my zoom screen and my cursor is big and bright green. I never lose my mouse cursor though.
How much time are you people losing to this? It takes me less than a second to find my cursor again.
I have 3 high res monitors and the middle is an ultra wide, so there’s quite a bit of area to scan for what is normally a tiny cursor.
Big cursor gang
This was driving me crazy so I made the cursor big and inverted colors, no problems finding it now.
At the beginning I also inverted it, but I have changed it to red, it also looks very good and also good if you want to indicate something in a Screenshot
I do this as well. Really helps when you share your screen and want to show where your cursor is.
I enabled the feature that shows you where the cursor is with a big circle when you press Ctrl. Works like a charm.
Powertoys!
It’s a default windows setting
Keyboard Focused Tiling Window Manager Users: 🤷
Yeah, this is me. With
unclutterinstalled to hide the cursor anyway. My cursor just follows the middle of whatever window I have focused at the time in i3wm
me everytime in bloonstg6 after round 40 or so
When are they gonna allow us to change the cursor to glow or something, it would be soo helpful, especially with fleets of airplanes in the sky
Bloons TD6 aka The Mysterious Case of the Missing Cursor
All 3 monitors slightly off brightness, exactly like my monitors regardless of how many times I fiddle with them!
I use powertoys and have the mouse highlighting tool enable when I shake the cursor back and forth.
Before this tool I also moved it around so I could see it, now it becomes highlighted when I do.
Didn’t know about this Powertoys feature, neat - think Windows actually has a built-in option you can toggle where if you hold down shift (or possibly ctrl? Haven’t had cause to use it for ages) it’ll highlight the cursor with a bright circle.
Isn’t that a Windows 11 thing?
Nah, it’s definitely available in 10 - used to use it a lot on my dual monitor setup at work and that’s still not upgraded to 11. Fell out of the habit of dual monitoring during the pandemic so it hasn’t really been necessary since…
Saving this to come back to it. Seems very handy
PowerToys is awesome
The Ctrl key shows where the cursor is, easy.
If you enable it in mouse settings
Recommended
I have it enabled as much as possible, also helps for recording how to videos, especially when not recording instructions.
TIL
I just wiggle my mouse like an idiot until the cursor hits my vision, because you know…i’m in control of the input device.
Also helps if you make it a bright green or yellow to make it stand out.
I’ve always appreciated the Mac OS feature that makes the cursor really huge if you wiggle it back and forth for this very reason…
Microsoft’s Powertoys includes a feature where if you press Ctrl repeatedly your cursor becomes highlighted. Very handy!
my pc has a glitch right now where the cursor ACTUALLY goes invisible until I move it to the other monitor and back…
acreate
jus wiggle that shit
ngl, best feature in macos
Yes! I remember when they first introduced it and I had to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating that the cursor was blowing up.
In Windows you can add a pulse effect to the mouse that’s triggered by pressing Control. It’s under the visibility settings.

KDE can do that as well
In my culture we invoke the ancient rune drawing of a bunch of really fast circles with the mouse.
Or even easier: right click
Too dangerous.
I have accidentally deleted my operating system.
For Apple people, there’s a setting in Mac OS to make the cursor giant if you shake it.
For Linux people, it depends on your distro/DE/WM
Actually I’m pretty sure that’s enabled by default now
Yep. It’s enabled by default, actually
And make it bright yellow while you’re messing with the settings.
There is a setting on Windows that lets you press a button (Ctrl by default) that will circle your mouse and get closer to door where your mouse is.
that’s why I use dual monitor tools. I click the home key ony keyboard and the cursor is right in the middle of my main monitor

I just use the built in windows feature that lets me hit ctrl and it puts a big shrinking circle on my cursor for a couple seconds.
I use that AND the mouse trails thing. No end of people laughing at me about the mouse trails but hey, I rarely lose sight of my cursor.
I hate this because whenever I’m copying and pasting shit, I get stupid circles on my screen
