  • Animated cursor skin

Bogus started as a random Blender experiment by mnkn and grew into a soft, animated pointer with a retro shape and layered shading. Every layer's color is yours to change, which also makes it easier to spot on dim screens, and the settings still include the original pointer plus a crosshair. It suits people who want something cute on an otherwise businesslike desktop. The whole thing runs as a live desktop cursor via Mouse X on Steam.

“Random blender creation. upd. New pointer is better imo, but you can still choose an old one in the settings. upd2. Colors! We’ve got colors now, and YOU can customize them however you like! It also makes the cursor…” (mnkn, on the Workshop)

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Bogus cursor?

Install Mouse X from Steam, then subscribe to the skin on its Workshop page (or inside the app). Mouse X downloads it and you can apply it with one click. No .cur files, no Control Panel digging.

Does it work on Windows 11?

Yes. Mouse X supports Windows 10 and 11, uses very little memory and CPU, and doesn’t hook or inject into games or other apps, so it runs quietly alongside everything else.

Is this cursor free?

The skin itself is free, like everything on the Mouse X Workshop. Mouse X is $2.99 on Steam, and the free demo lets you try custom cursors before buying.
