…and they assume that the pointing device is a mouse.

inspiration: I’m using a trackball with my left hand because of a broken button. The pointer shape doesn’t make sense since i’m not clicking with my right index finger.

    I need the mouse cursor to be better at drawing attention to itself at times though. When you have a couple big monitors often finding where that cursor is hiding becomes a problem.

      fortunately, on macOS, all you have to do is wiggle the mouse a bit, and it’ll get really big for a moment so you can find it, lol… it’s super-helpful!

      edit: also, if out of your work is with apps in ‘dark mode’ (lots of black bgs with white/light text), consider inverting your cursor to be white instead of black. it helps it stand out a bit more without being too distracting.

      I do increase the size of the cursor permanently, and colour them brightly. It works wonders, a bright pink or cyan or orange cursor always makes me smile a bit when I stop to appreciate it.
