A little pixel art praying mantis takes over your pointer, drawn in chunky retro style with a bright green body and raised front legs. The skin is static, not animated, so it stays crisp and readable even on a busy desktop. Made by michellechaniechan, it runs as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam, replacing the standard Windows arrow the moment you apply it. If you like insects or old school sprite work, this one fits right in without getting in the way.
Use this cursor on your desktop
Get Mouse X on Steam. There’s a free demo, so you can try it first.
Subscribe to this skin on its Workshop page, or find “Mantis” in the in-app browser.
Select it in Mouse X and your Windows cursor changes instantly. No hooks, no injection.
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.
