My Bazzite install will progressively make the mouse cursor bigger and bigger if you shake the mouse violently. Its a nice feature.

    Ill admit the first time it happened I was like "WTF?". But I have 4 monitors on that machine so it has been pretty handy.

    I like jiggling it when I'm bored. Have you gotten it to fill all four monitors yet? You will!

    I rest my hand on my mouse a lot while I'm watching youtube and my laughs jiggle it and make it bigger the more I laugh.

    It's in the limbo space between the monitors.

    I low-key love that Plasma added the "shake your mouse to enlarge the cursor" feature from macOS. Mostly for the comedic relief when you're frustrated

    Does it grow larger the more you shake it? 😏

    Yeah, if you're bored waiting for something, see how large you can grow your cursor!

    I really like that feature and one that allows you to hold a couple keys and then you move the mouse, it'll draw a line using whatever colour you chose. Both features are super useful in helping me find my cursor.

    KDE: Shake the cursor to make it bigger

    And for Windows people, there's a PowerToys thing where double clicking control highlights it.

    Worth noting that on some setups the cursor can straight up disappear until it's moved. It's not even just that you're dumb and can't see it, it often gets hidden by certain types of content.

    This seriously messed me up when I didn't realize it had been added and then tried to crouch in a video game. Thought it was some bizarre feature of the game.

    Huh. I don't think it's come up in a game for me, but maybe I just don't use that input enough for those. You can remap it, anyway (including to the mouse shake thing, if that's your bag).

    I like the "press control to circle the cursor" feature. It helps a lot in BTD6. :P

    I've wondered something related and maybe someone here knows. When using breeze dark and shake shake in Plasma, it seems still pretty sharp even when becoming massive. However using other themes, (like Layan) and shake shake, you see it get quite blurry as it gets bigger.

    It has just been a curiosity of mine.

    Fun fact. I had this problem and in the Windows settings I found an option to have the cursor have a circular animation when I hit the Ctrl key.

    I just change the cursor to a larger size and make it cyan. I'm basically dead already.

    I use the accessibility feature that allows you to set a key to make the cursor flash on command. By flash it has a bunch of circles around it on command.

    I never had an issue with losing my cursor on Linux, but I always lose it on windows despite them basically acting the same, is it because of the cursor colour or something?
