Pointy low contrast cursor

[Mouse.7382]

I bought for $4.00 on Steam, 'Yolo mouse cursor.'

Can change the pointer icon,  color, etc. It never disappears in combat.

After two days of using it, I reverted back to using the default sharp pointy one. The HD one is just too clunky.

HD? Did I miss something?

high contrast <> high definition

Curious how people feel about the change just now. It feels...a little bit better? But, it's still leaving me feeling like l have to aim too high to click on stuff. They also didn't add a way to increase the contrast if you wiggle the cursor around, so l continue to lose track of my cursor mid-combat because l'm too busy strafing to reach for left-alt in a split second.

You can't really tell until you're trying to click on the tiny up and down arrows like if you split a stack but it is a bit off.

I prefer the original one, it was lower but still easy to see during meta

This one though? Too bright and difficult to click precisely.

I totally agree with this post. It's a disaster to click small UI elements with cursor since there's no obvious (top left) click pixel.

I literally logged in solely to make this post.

 

I appreciate the devs making the effort to do things like this, but did no one ever actually try to use it before you released it?

 

I put it in high contrast mode. Try to deposit materials or condense inventory? Difficult.

Try to resize UI? Practically impossible with your normal mouse. Definitely impossible with the high contrast one.

Try to use the arrows in the trading post to change price. Good luck. You're clicking blind.

 

Just shift it down a little so the tip of the mouse is actually the tip of the mouse.

 

Also what someone said earlier about the mouse not disappearing when you move your camera with right click would be great too.

I haven't seen much evidence that suggests ANET is testing anything they release.
