  • Animated cursor skin

Pixel turns your pointer into a chunky pixel art arrow that loops through a short animation as you move around the desktop. Laeta built it from big visible squares with a retro palette, so it stays easy to spot even on a busy screen. It runs as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam, replacing the standard Windows pointer everywhere. Anyone who grew up on old computer games or just likes blocky art will probably keep this one on.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Pixel 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.
