Unobtrusive yet hightlights cursor when needed!

"myPoint Light S” is a beneficial, yet unobtrusive “cursor” highlighter that only appears when needed! Otherwise, the cursor is the normal “arrowhead." I have purchased other cursor highlighters which are constantly streaming “stuff." They are a “waterfall” of irritation! With "myPoint Light S,” if your “arrowhead” cursor becomes “lost,” just rapidly “circle” or “jiggle" your mouse or finger on your trackpad, and the cursor pops into sight with the "myPoint Light S cursor view” you selected. I use the “circle” in the first example above. Options are available for other “myPoint Light S” cursors.

I use two monitors. “myPoint Light S” activates when I pass the cursor from one monitor to the other! This is a Five Star Cursor Enhancement for my usage! The $2.99 has not been an expense, it has been an investment in my time spent looking for: “That stupid lost cursor!” “Where did it go this time?” I don’t guarantee you will like it! I guarantee that I like it, and find it worthy of my purchase!

Great Cursor Enhancement!

More than just halo effects!

This handy little app that does a lot more with your mouse than just halo effects. You get different arrows (transparent, black, red), rulers for measuring things (vertical and horizontal), line highlighters for reading, and all are scalable in terms of size and transparency. You can also flip the effect so it’s pointing the opposite direction. This is ideal for anyone with aging eyes or other vision disabilities as well as educators or marketers in need of screenshares or captures for explainer videos and tutuals. Regardless of what you need this app for, once you install it, you will never, ever, be able to “lose” your mouse again!

I looked at several other mouse halo apps, but their reviews were mixed. Basically, the other apps were reported to be glitchy and/or unsupported as well as having severely limited, uncustomizable effects. myPoint Light S had the best reviews so I took a chance on it. I’m glad I did!

This guy with RP LOVES the FULL-SCREEN Crosshairs!

I'm a database developer who spends a lot of time working on the computer. I also have RP (Retinitus Pigmentosa) and have lost my mouse at lesat a 100x a day... to compensate, i've trained myself to move the mouse to the upper left corner of the display. This app just put an end to that! The crosshairs extend the whole screen and is fully customizable in thickness, color, opaqness, and you can even outline the crosshairs like the outline of the mouse.
