Also, are malware-free cursor applications still a thing? Or does it make me an old man to want to do it in 2023?
Who uses a mouse? I function all applications with just a keyboard, my custom arch based distribution doesn’t even support mice because I removed all drivers from the kernel. /s
You use a keyboard? Cringe. I just pull up a virtual keyboard on screen and click every button that I need to type.
It’s 2023, gramps.
Oh, look at Ms Fancy over here. I use a morse code telegraph to make all my inputs. Ones and zeros, that’s all a computer needs. Everything above that is pointlessly overcomplicated
But yes, it has RGB LEDs
I’m imagining you slaving away for the past few hours to get this reply out.
Imagine if instead of VOIP we used TOIP (telegraph over IP)
Yeah, I did have to look up what these morse code klicky things are called
Ahhh, the steam deck experience, I relate.
You mean double touchpad typing superiority?
signature look of superiority
Who uses a keyboard all I need is a saxaphone
Do you use a keyboard? All the cool kids use punch cards
i mapped a ps5 controller for mouse-heavy games 😅
I have removed all except U,D,L,R,A,B and perform all input using variations of the Konami code
Me too thanks
You would’ve loved black and white 2 then. The basic concept of the game was you are a god and you can choose to be evil or benevolent. Like if roller-coaster tycoon and Age of empire had a baby. The pointer was a hand that moved depending on what you were doing in your world. AND it changed the more evil or good you were.
I think I spent most of my time with that game on the intro screen :D
That sounds familiar! I think I watched a video on it years ago.
B&W 1&2 were legendary games! Definitely worth downloading and playing even today.
i’m not very sure about Windows aside from DeviantArt, RealWorld and similar galleries, but for KDE you can get a catalogue built into the cursor settings
No problems in Windows, you can download and use a ton of cursors from Deviantart and a lot of other sitees, there are even some Cursor Manager, with which you can change the cursor set with one clic, also some editors to make your own sets. The cursor image format is the same for Linux and Windows.
Don’t install cursor applications, just add cursor packs for your respective operating system.
Change the OS cursor, i don’t know about mac but you can do that on windows and linux
I’ve been using MouseCape on macOS for years and it’s worked flawlessly
I think I might actually do this
On windows it’s Settings > Themes, then click the “Mouse pointers” item. That should bring up the Pointers tab of the Mouse Properties window. Then it’s just a matter of getting .ani or .cur versions of the pointers you want.
Depends on the platform i guess? Windows cursors vs. Linux cursors.
It takes a lot of willpower for me not to make my ubuntu desktop look like a virus riddled win7/xp desktop
Oh shit. I wanna do this now.
Ooh, the top left ones are from Ultima Online. Haven’t seen those cursors in a long while.
I came here to see if someone mentioned this fact and was going to do so if I didn’t see anyone beat me to it lol.
Lol talk about nostalgia straight into the veins…
This song immediately popped into my head after seeing them

It’s beautiful
You can find some on deviant art, that’s where I got mine. https://www.deviantart.com/tag/cursors

I think this is the one I settled on? It just looks better than default windows lol https://www.deviantart.com/spysees/art/Mac-Os-X-El-Capitan-Cursor-Pack-For-Win-By-SeeS-573756719
This seems legit? I haven’t tried it but the firefox extension for it has a lot of users https://custom-cursor.com/products/custom-cursor-for-windows

Whoa, I didn’t know deviant art also had useful stuff like this on it. Thanks!
I didn’t either until I went looking for mouse cursors 😅 You learn something new every day!

I believe fate (wild tangent) does
Brings me back to the MapleStory days. That little white glove brings back such happy memories.
It’s next when you click and the printer finger moves. Serotonin please
theres malware on cursor applications? isnt it possible to just change the cursor with the .cur files if youre on windows?
I’d always heard it was one of those common ways that people get malware on their PCs. That and toolbars.
I don’t know how common it is anymore, but it definitely was a few years back. You knew a computer was infected with everything when you saw a stupid cartoon dinosaur or something as the mouse cursor as soon as the pc booted to windows… I think it was more about what was bundled in the download from scummy websites doing the damage though, not the actual cursor files. I still cringe though if I see a non-standard cursor in windows, like PTSD-esque flashbacks…
Listen is I want Banzai Buddy to mess with nuclear launch codes on my government laptop then that’s his right.
I have dreams of the RuneScape dragon scimitar cursor
You know a game is good when it does this.
