I switched to a circular cursor and I love it so much. https://github.com/ful1e5/Google_Cursor

I might try that. Did it take much getting used to? What do you like about it more? Is it hard to "aim" sometimes?

I've had literally no problem with aiming in fact aiming is easier. It took no getting used to whatsoever. I changed it because I was doing a video demonstrating a feature on a touch screen but using a mouse and it seemed closest to the touch tracking while doing a screen recording on a phone. I found I liked it and had no desire to go back.

I like the symmetry quite a bit as well as how easy it is to identify things I can interact with (black dot inside) vs things that I cannot (black border). I also really dig the thick text cursor. My only complaint is the resize handle is not super obvious. It's kind of a lemon shape.

I'm about an hour into giving this circular cursor thing a try, and I think I'm a convert. You think it'd be hard to click on things given the overlap, but the color swap when you're over an interactable really sells it. Thanks!

Yeah no problem. Circle cursor gang!
