If you remember the Underwater theme from the old Windows 95 Plus pack, this one will feel familiar right away. The Celestial recreated that pixel art sea creature as an animated cursor, so the little fish wiggles along with every mouse movement, chunky retro pixels intact. It runs as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam, which costs $2.99 once (free demo available), and every Workshop skin like this one is included. Not affiliated with Microsoft.

How do I install the Windows 95 Plus: Underwater 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.
This cursor skin was created and shared by a member of the Mouse X community on the Steam Workshop.
