This one does exactly what the name says. It swaps the default white arrow for a clean red one, same familiar shape, just a solid red fill with a subtle outline so it stays visible on light and dark backgrounds. If you keep losing your cursor on a busy screen, or you just want a small pop of color without anything flashy, this is a good pick. Made by scarthowe, it runs as a live desktop cursor via Mouse X on Steam and is included with the app.

How to get it

  1. Install Mouse X from Steam. The free demo works too.
  2. Subscribe to this skin on its Workshop page, or find “simple red cursor” in the in-app browser.
  3. Select it in Mouse X and your Windows cursor changes instantly. No hooks, no injection.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the simple red 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.
