How to Change Your Mouse Pointer Size and Color (Windows 10 and Windows 11)

A not-so-well-known feature of Windows allows you to customize your mouse pointer size and color. You can make the mouse pointer very small or very large – or any size in between by using a size slider. And you can make your mouse pointer any color you want.

Windows 10

In the Ease of Access > Mouse pointer settings page, you’ll find a slider that lets you make your mouse pointer as big or as small as you like.  And you’ll find an option that allows you to change your mouse pointer color.

Once you click on the “color wheel” option (see above) Windows will display seven color boxes showing you pointer colors you can choose. But if you don’t like any of those colors, just click the plus sign + next to “Pick a custom pointer color” and choose any color you like.

All you need to do to get the “Mouse pointer” settings page is:  Press the Windows Key + U to open the Ease of Access Center. In Ease of Access click on “Mouse pointer” in the menu on the left.

Windows 11

Once you choose a mouse pointer style, you can choose a color by clicking on any of the colored squares. If you don’t like any of the available colors, click on “+ Choose another color” and you choose any color your want. And just as in Windows 10,  you’ll find a slider that lets you make your mouse pointer as big or as small as you like. 

The fastest way to get to the mouse pointer settings in Windows 11 is by typing “MOUSE POINTER AND TOUCH”(without quotes) in the taskbar search and pressing enter when you see “Mouse pointer and touch” appear in the search results
