If you have trouble seeing, or simply have multiple windows open at once, it can be frustrating to find the cursor. Here are some tips to try.
On computers using Windows
- Go to the classic Control Panel, then Mouse Options.
- Under the Pointers tab, you can choose Large or Extra Large.
- Under the Pointers Options tab, you can Display Pointer Trails to see the cursor as it moves.
- Still in the Pointers Options tab, at the bottom, you can choose to "Show Location of Pointer When I Press the CTRL Key."
- Remember to click OK to save your changes.
On many Macs
- Go to Universal Access (or Accessibility) in system preferences.
- Cick the Mouse tab, and use the Cursor Size slider to increase the size of the cursor. But you may not want a permanently larger cursor, so read on.
- If you use a Mac, OS X, v10.4 or later, you can download the free Mouse Locator app, which circles the cursor in green when you want to find it.
- If you have the El Capitan Mac OS, simply wiggle the mouse, and the cursor will temporarily enlarge.
