Painter Mouse

The success of a presentation, regardless if it is live or online, depends on many factors. The preparation is important, and so is the speaker's ability to convey the message in a clear and organized way, but there are other little details that make a huge difference.

When it comes to some presentations, online streaming sessions, or educational videos, tutorials, and demos the ability to highlight the cursor and keyboard inputs can go a very long way.

That's exactly why Painter Mouse was created. It's not the first tool of the sort, and it's definitely not the most comprehensive.

However, it's remarkably effective thanks to its simplicity, and it's totally free.

We already said that it can help you highlight the mouse cursor, but that's just the beginning. You are provided with a high degree of control over the whole process. For example, you can control the colors of the cursor highlighter, its size, and its transparency.

You can choose different colors for the cursor highlighter, but also for actions such as left- and right-clicking.

The app also has a free drawing mode which can come in handy when the presentation requires you to go into greater detail. You can create lines, arrows, and circles to further emphasize aspects of your presentation or simply draw attention to important areas.

Painter Mouse has something called a spotlight mode. This is yet another tool that can help you showcase specific areas of complex presentations. Last but not least, it can also allow you to showcase SHIFT and CTRL button keystrokes.

Taking everything into account, Painter Mouse is a good application that does its job right. It's not the most customizable or the "flashiest" or "gimmicky" app of this sort out there, but the most important thing is that it can really help you create better presentations for your audience.
