  • Animated cursor skin

Gesp made this one to look like a cursor pulled straight from a 90s operating system, a dark pixel-art arrow with chunky blocky edges. It reacts when you click, flashing a small highlight in your choice of eight colors (purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, and blue). The animation runs as a live desktop cursor via Mouse X on Steam, so it follows you everywhere in Windows. Good pick if you miss old-school interfaces or want something quieter than a bright white pointer.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Pixel Dark 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.
