Is it possible to make mouse pointer bigger/enlarged when shaked (like in Mac OS), but in windows?

Question

It is very convenient to find a mouse pointer in mac OS as shaking of the mouse enlarges the pointer for a couple of seconds. I hope we can do the same for windows too. Can we?

I googled a lot but no luck!

BigMouse will do the trick... http://spinalcode.co.uk/2018/11/06/windows-shake-to-find-cursor/

Just give the mouse a good shake and a giant cursor will show where your mouse is. With the added bonus of tracking how many miles your mouse has moved!

There is Waggle my mouse it is paid thou. But cheap !

And then there is the old... "Click CTRL to show your mouse option"

You can see it in Additional mouse options on Windows 10. Like this

Solution 3

Another utility I found called Shake Mouse To Locate: https://github.com/nicolasdejong/ShakeMouseToLocate. Based on the BigMouse from @spinal mentioned in other answer. Little bit richer than BigMouse and it survives computer sleep!

There's an option in Windows to have it visually locate the mouse when you hit CTRL, have you tried that?

@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 well thanks friend. This will do. Just activated that from my mouse setting. :D

I've just tried "Waggle my mouse" but unfortunately found it to be buggy - the huge rainbow circle it makes often gets stuck behind windows and doesn't behave well with multiple monitors.

@spinal, Great work here. However, I found this to be very resistant to mouse movements. I need to move the pointer by a lot for the big trigger to happen.

Hi Spinal, great piece of code! unfortunately it does not survive computer sleep, need restart to work again

Sorry, but it doesn't do anything on my Windows 10 20H2. The icon appears in the systray, but the cursor doesn't grow no matter how long I shake the mouse.
