Potatos_are_not_friends, Does anyone else move their mouse like a bat out of hell to look for the cursor?
dansity, That’s the whole point. Human vision is more sensitive to movement than to still elements. When you move it batshit crazy your inner hunter instinct kicks in and you find the cursor
CreeperODeath, It’s on the TV that you use as a third monitor that is usually turned off
NBJack, Yeah, and this only gets worse with bigger monitors. Want to use that 43" TV as Monitor #3? Wigglin’ isn’t going to help.
Real users give up and start using keyboard shortcuts to move crap around until they find it again.
Or just get a wireless gaming mouse with adjustable DPI, crank it up to 11 billion, and try to catch it doing near lightspeed as it goes through all four monitors at once. The only drawback is that, according to physics, it will likely have experienced time dilation, which means your mouse cursor has aged significantly in the short time it was in flight.
otacon239, I’m about to change (and possibly ruin) your perspective on mouse cursors in Windows: youtu.be/YThelfB2fvg?si=JvS-iAQ4-tJ1w60Q

YES, I’m using one of the ones they made right now.
BorgDrone, On macOS if you wiggle the mouse quickly the cursor gets bigger.
aBundleOfFerrets, Windows lets you optionally use CTrL to highlight the cursor for a moment
a253040, One of us needs a review on relativistic physics (but it’s probably me). Shouldn’t the cursor experience less time than you?

In Windows you can add a pulse effect to the mouse that’s triggered by pressing Control. It’s under the visibility settings.

WarmSoda, In my culture we invoke the ancient rune drawing of a bunch of really fast circles with the mouse.
chase_what_matters, For Apple people, there’s a setting in Mac OS to make the cursor giant if you shake it.
odium, For Linux people, it depends on your distro/DE/WM
bdonvr, Actually I’m pretty sure that’s enabled by default now
sjmarf, Yep. It’s enabled by default, actually
pm_me_your_happiness, Or even easier: right click
chase_what_matters, Too dangerous.
Agent641, I have accidentally deleted my operating system.
Synctrex, KDE can do that as well

And make it bright yellow while you’re messing with the settings.

It's hiding in the white space of documents! It's invisible!

slackassassin, The only serious solution.

Too bad this becomes less effective as time goes on, this wont affect wyaland windows, only xwayland/X
kbotc, Apple’s shake to find is plenty effective.
slackassassin, Maybe, but it’s not serious enough.

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
Unaware7013, 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.
jeffw, I hate this because whenever I’m copying and pasting shit, I get stupid circles on my screen
Taztrophe, 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.
istdaslol, 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
STUPIDVIPGUY, acreate
jus wiggle that shit
istdaslol, ngl, best feature in macos
rob64, Yes! I remember when they first introduced it and I had to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating that the cursor was blowing up.
