Ever since monitors, TV sets and other types of displays became every-day objects, a new measuring unit got created, specially for them. Pixels are used to determine the size of a screen, and the more there are, the better the quality. What’s more, pixels are used in programming and serve as coordinates, and you can easily map out your own screen with applications like MouseLoc.

One first aspect that makes it neat is that you don’t have to go through the nuisance of installing it because it can perfectly run the moment you finish downloading it. This keeps your system’s registries intact, and you can also carry it with you on an USB Flash drive to use on other computers.

On the visual side of things, we can say there’s hardly anything to look at. On the one hand, everything it has to offer is placed in a classic window design, with no shiny elements to distract or confuse you. On the other hand, the window it runs in is incredibly compact, can’t be resized, and you might have a bit of trouble identifying it the first time it runs.

The name doesn’t suggest anything other than it’s related to your mouse. As such, you might be interested to know that it’s core and only function is to display the X and Y coordinates of your cursor’s position.

Sadly, there’s no other detail to view, nor any options for that matter. Sure enough it can provide valuable info, especially in programming, but it would have been nice to see at least a few accessibility options, such as the possibility to make it appear with a hotkey command, or at least force it to follow the pointer for easy identification.

Last but not least, you might have a hard time making use of a specific set of coordinates, because values can’t be copied to the clipboard. This means you need to hold your mouse in position and manually write down coordinates of interest.

To sum it up, MouseLoc comes with good intentions and wants to wrap a useful set of info in an extremely simple interface. However, practicality is highly questionable because it lacks almost all it needs to aid as intended. With no possibility to copy values, the only use is to satisfy your urge to find out the exact coordinates of some pixels on your screen.
