For about a week, I had my coworker's face as my cursor. Just because I could. I wanted to see how long it would take people to notice. I share my screen a lot. I was surprised it took that long.
In my early edgy metal phase I used the Sign of the horns as a custom cursor.
Fun fact, in Germany this hand sign is often called Pommesgabel (fries fork)
I was stationed in [the former West] Germany from 1985-1988. Upon arrival we had a week-long quickstart intro to German culture. One of the lessons taught was srsly, don't pick up your fries with your fingers!!! I forgot about that until reading your comment. :-)

When my laptop is in presentation mode, I use this instead:
I'd love to implement my own cursor so I have things like cursor trail, but it's a lot harder than I thought. Something about hardware cursor.
Oh, thats so cute. Got a kasane teto one?
I use this one:

These are also pretty cool but I prefer the one with the chibis
default breeze, the black one
EDIT : Downloaded a win 3.1 dark version just for the hell of it , since you prompted me https://store.kde.org/p/999998
Volantes.
Quite fond of it. To the point where I kind of have to use these cursors on any PC I seriously use. Ordinary cursors just look out of place. At the very least, I always want tailless cursors. Seeing a tail on my cursor just feels old-fashioned, vestigial, and cringe to me.
That's interesting, i guess i'm the old fashioned type then cause i'm the reverse of that. Cursors without a tail always look off to me. It's why i never liked things like bibata eventhough it seems to be pretty popular.
That actually looks okay
I use the same and for the same reason of wanting it to be tailless.
Fuck Shit Cunt --
Edit oh whoops cursors oops
Why hasn't that been invented yet? Cursors that curse at you when you click.
People downvoting because now they have to customize their cursor and never considered it before lol

How do you know when you have a coloured orb vs there being colour under the cursor?
I really like Mocu.
Sweet cursor

This one does not spark joy for me
Loving just the stock KDE Breeze theme
I like posy-cursors
His video convinced me
Call me weird, but the cursors are just about the only visual element of my desktop that I don't customize. Boring default X cursors all the way!
Polarnight:
Looks pretty; I might try that one out myself.
banana cursor ftw. banana cursor github page
This fucks!!
I've been using the Pacman cursor for a couple years.
Do they actually look like stickers in use, or is that just the presentation on the GitHub page?
They look the same
Vimix
Same, this or the Breeze Snow cursor, depending on my overall theme at the moment.
Brood war cursor best https://store.kde.org/p/1680392/
They look great but I fear i'll never find them
They're great but too small. I wish the size was increasable.
After downloading tons of them, and trying them out on various computers over a range of screen sizes and resolutions, and also considering what fits with the vibe of my theming, I have ended up with Breeze. Pretty basic, but I love it. I have to use Windows at work, and got Breeze on there as well.
Same. For whatever reason, I kind of hate all cursor themes. I disliked Breeze the least, then thought about how I'd want to change Breeze to improve it, realized that would look much worse, and since then I've been content with Breeze.
Phinger Cursors, was using Capitaine Cursors before that but i didn't like that the pre-built binaries were hosted on pling, or atleast i couldn't figure out how to get the actual download url from there for the sake of packaging, and building from source takes so long, so i ended up looking for something that had pre-builts hosted elsewhere.
I love how over-engineered phinger is
using capitaine here, from store.kde.org, which does have archive downloads available.
Might have to look into that! As i was looking up capitaine again i found out that there's a fork with some cool colorschemes like gruvbox, which i really like the look of as well.
I use Posy's

Eyyyy there are dozens of us! I used to manage IT for a school trust - about 2000 endpoints - and I actually pushed it out to every single one of them. They're more pleasing to my eye, they scale perfectly and are easier to track. I got compliments from art teachers and SEND workers which is about as high a praise as you can imagine.
Haha I love that! They really are much more pleasing to the eyes and I love his video on it.
I'm actually on Windows (please don't murder me), but I use KDE's Oxygen cursors, and have for about 12 years.
The one with the blinking white block. Except when I'm in insert mode of vim then blinking white line
I use PearDarkCursors
Elementary os cursor
I was looking for the obligatory 'I use a tiling WM btw' comment but it seems that everyone is touching grass here
Genuine question why do people do that? What workflow is it better for? I'm sure past a certain learning curve it's good for stuff
some people are more comfortable doing all of their computer actions from the keyboard without reaching for the mouse. tiling WMs tend to make that easier to do at the cost of requiring some learning
I guess I'm satisfied with keyboard shortcuts and Emacs as my super two-handed keyboard weapon. When I have mouse fully disabled there's always annoying moments where I'm like holding my phone or a drink etc in the left. Can definitely see that though
Shortcuts and organization:
i can instantly jump to exactly the window i want with a single shortcut
Everything is open maximized by default which, like, why shouldn't it be?
Hmm maybe it's like switching to KISS Launcher instead of Android home screen, but more so. Worth the setup in that case

Buuf cursor, it fits with Buuf icons.

Standard breeze, but I use light cursors on a dark background. I think that makes more sense.

Red alert 3 cursors

Bibata Original Ice at day & Bibata Original Classic at Night
On windows 11 you can turn your regular cursor various colors, including green and pink, and I wish KDE could do that. I could edit cursor vectors myself, but I don't wanna. Too lazy. I like colorful cursors because they're easier to find and track, but I don't want those big bloated cutesy cursors.
page through these.. you should find a few different cursor themes that would work for you:
https://store.kde.org/browse?cat=107&ord=latest
Not yet mentioned:
Polar cursors - long time classic. The download seems to have a wrong extension, correct is .tar.bz2.
I also just noticed Oreo cursors - not sure if I like them yet:
I use Beat Cursor Pack by HeroOfYore https://github.com/HeroOfYore/Yore-Cursorpacks/releases/tag/v1.1.0-beat
Qogir
Oxygen light
Since I deleted reddit, can't seem to find the post where someone shared adult themed cursors
Catppuccin Mocha Pink
catppucin machiato blue
Gif
Yep, I'm a catppucin Machiato user too. I must say the whole theme is quite nice.
Neutral for both Left and Right Handed https://store.kde.org/p/999823
Rosé Pine Dawn Cursor https://github.com/rose-pine/cursor

Oxygen green
catppuccin mocha dark https://github.com/catppuccin/cursors
I still have PTSD related flashbacks to working at geek squad when the stupid fucking dinosaur cursors (absolutely chockablock with viruses) were all the rage... I use the default one build into KDE.
Some round one, I forget the name. I love it.
