- Animated cursor skin
Your pointer cycles through classic Half-Life style icons, the lambda symbol, crowbar, headcrab and other familiar shapes pulled together by creator Nap from fan art, with credit to the original artists. The animation runs as a live desktop cursor via Mouse X on Steam, so it moves everywhere, not just in one app. Anyone who spent late nights in Black Mesa will get a small kick every time they glance at their mouse. This is a fan tribute, not an official product.
“Made up from the most popular half life icons, I did not make most ofg these, all credits to their original creators” (Nap, on the Workshop)

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Half life cursor 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.
