Made by CarYapper for players who didn't like the popular Hearts of Iron 4 cursor, this one swaps your pointer for a pixel art take on the game's wartime style, complete with a small animated rifle detail. It runs as a live animated cursor on your actual Windows desktop through Mouse X on Steam, so the animation plays everywhere, not just in a preview. Fan made, not affiliated with the game's publisher, and included with Mouse X ($2.99 once, free demo to try).
“I didn't like the popular one so i made my own. HOI4 Cursor/Pointer/Mouse I really love how it came out! I made some of the assets myself :) Other names for the game (ignore this): HOI4, Hoi4, hoi4, Hearts of Iron 4,…” (CarYapper, on the Workshop)
How do I install the Hearts of Iron 4 Cursor [hoi4] 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.
