CursorEqualizerDownload for WindowsCursorEqualizer is a Windows tray app for tuning cursor size on each monitor, so moving between screens can feel more consistent.
Version 1.0.0 preview for Windows x64. About 47 MiB. .NET runtime included.
Different screens and scaling settings can make the cursor feel different. Choose a comfortable size for each display, compare it visually, and let CursorEqualizer keep your settings.
A mouse pointer can look larger on one monitor and smaller on another because screens differ in pixel density and Windows scaling. Pixel density describes how closely the pixels are packed. Scaling changes the size of on-screen content so text and controls remain readable. A pointer drawn with the same pixel dimensions can therefore look different across multiple monitors.
Windows offers pointer-size controls under Accessibility and scaling controls under System > Display. Start with those if you want a larger pointer everywhere or need to resize the whole desktop. Changing display scaling also affects text and apps, so it may not suit a setup where only the cursor feels wrong.
CursorEqualizer lets you choose a cursor size for each display. Compare the screens visually, save a comfortable reference in Calibrated mode, and adjust as needed. This is manual visual tuning: the experimental Auto formula does not establish equal physical size, and applications that draw their own pointers can behave differently.
| Option | What it changes | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Windows pointer size | Adjust the pointer through Accessibility settings. | Start here when you want a larger or smaller pointer overall. |
| Windows display scaling | Resize text, apps and other content on a selected display. | Use it when the whole desktop needs resizing. |
| CursorEqualizer | Choose a 16–128 px cursor size per monitor. | Use it to tune the cursor while keeping your display scaling. |
Move the Settings window onto the screen you want to tune.
Select Calibrated, then adjust the slider from 16 to 128 pixels. Repeat on the other screen and compare.
Changes save automatically. Close Settings or choose Hide to tray to keep the app running.
Pause or resume from the tray, or reload your registered cursor theme. Exit through the tray menu to restore the Windows cursor scheme.
A first look at CursorEqualizer: per-display cursor sizing, familiar controls, and a small place in your Windows tray.

CPU and memory usage were recorded on a Windows 11 PC, both in the tray and during a short session of rapid movement between monitors.
Measured on the portable CursorEqualizer 1.0.0 build. The bundled-runtime installer build has not been benchmarked separately.
Sample length: 61.06 seconds.
In the background tray sample (61.06 seconds), portable CursorEqualizer 1.0.0 averaged 0.016% total CPU and 82.63 MiB resident RAM.
Sample length: 10.15 seconds, user-driven.
In the rapid monitor crossings sample (10.15 seconds, user-driven), portable CursorEqualizer 1.0.0 averaged 0.837% total CPU and 84.30 MiB resident RAM.
Recorded on 25 October 2026 using Windows 11 Home and an Intel Core i5-14400F with 16 logical processors and 31.76 GiB of OS-reported RAM. CPU is normalized across all logical processors. Readings were taken about once per second from a warmed-up process while other desktop apps remained running.
These are short samples on one PC, not guarantees for other hardware. Monitor-crossing frequency and response latency were not recorded. They do not establish long-term memory stability, battery impact or cold-start performance. MiB describes binary memory units; resident RAM includes shared pages.
Read the measurementsCursorEqualizer requires a Windows x64 PC. The current setup has been tested on Windows 11 and includes the .NET runtime, so there is no separate runtime installation for the installer. The app is intended for tuning multiple displays.
In CursorEqualizer, you choose a comfortable size on each display and compare it visually. Calibrated mode then uses the saved reference when Windows scaling changes. The separate Auto formula remains experimental.
CursorEqualizer reads custom .cur and .ani paths from your registered Windows cursor scheme and uses them for sizing. Rendering can vary by theme and application; animated-theme behavior still has open checks.
CursorEqualizer’s standard startup appears in Windows Startup apps, where you can enable or disable it. The advanced Elevated option uses Task Scheduler instead, so it is separate from that toggle. Removing an existing elevated task may request administrator approval.
Closing Settings keeps CursorEqualizer in the tray. Use Exit & Restore Default Cursors to exit and restore the registered Windows cursor scheme. Forced termination cannot run the normal cleanup.
Yes. Exit the tray app, then uninstall CursorEqualizer through Windows Settings. The installer is designed to keep your calibration settings, though settings retention and cleanup are still being verified.
CursorEqualizer 1.0.0 is a public preview. Installation, launch and uninstall through Windows Settings have been tested. Version upgrades, downgrades and some startup checks are still being verified. The installer is unsigned, so Windows may show an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen warning.
CursorEqualizer uses your registered Windows cursor scheme. Rendering can vary by application and theme; compatibility with Adobe apps, OBS and games has not been verified. Apps that draw their own pointers may behave differently.
CursorEqualizer’s current installer has been tested on Windows 11. Windows 10 compatibility has not been verified.
CursorEqualizer lets you choose a comfortable cursor size per display, but it has not been validated as an accessibility aid. Windows also offers pointer size and color controls in Accessibility settings.
Download CursorEqualizer, tune a size on each display, and keep your settings in the tray.
