Besides this, you can also use ChatGPT to design your custom mouse cursors.

1. Download a Custom Mouse Pointer

If you want a unique look for your cursor, you can download a custom mouse pointer from the internet.

To do that, open your web browser, go to Google, and search for “mouse pointer.”

Click on RW Designer. It’s one of the first websites you should find.

Browse the available mouse pointers or use the search bar to find a specific design.
Click on the pointer pack you like.

Now, scroll down and either download individual cursors like the basic pointer.
Or, you can download the full set as a ZIP file. You’ll need WinRAR or another extraction tool to open it.
If you downloaded an individual cursor, save it to your Downloads folder.

If you downloaded a ZIP file, extract it using WinRAR or another tool.

2. Adjust Mouse Settings

You can also customize your mouse pointer by adjusting settings directly in Windows.

To do that, click on the Windows search bar and type Settings.

Open Settings and go to Bluetooth and Devices.
On the right panel, click on Mouse, then select Additional Mouse Settings options.

In the Mouse Properties window, go to the Pointers tab.
Select Normal Select.
Click on the Browse option and navigate to where you saved the custom cursor.

Now, select the downloaded cursor file and click Open.
Then click on Apply, then OK to confirm the change.

You can also select cursors provided by Windows. For that click on the Browse menu from the Pointers section and then choose a cursor from the list, then select Open. Then click on Apply then OK.

3. Customize Other Pointers

You can replace other pointers for example loading icon, text cursor by repeating the previous method for each one.

You can also download and select different cursors for each function as needed. Like if you want to change the Text cursor, in the Mouse Properties window, go to the Browse option.

Then in the Customize section select Text Select.
Now click on Browse and navigate to the cursor file you have saved. Select a cursor.
Then click on Open. Select Apply, then OK to save the changes.
