Mouse Cursor Size with DPI Scaling


Recommended Posts

After upgrading, from 1080p to 1440p (after 10+yrs) 🤣 I was expecting to be amazed, but the only thing I see is that it's much sharper in games. I have a rare monitor it's 24" 1440p IPS, gsync 165hz and a 123 ppi screen. (AOC Q24G2A) This is the only size that will fit my desk. Now the issue is, I'm sure it's been posted before is the mouse cursor is just too kitten big when I use DPI scaling. When I turn off DPI scaling and use the large setting the text in chat sometimes get cut off on the bottom of the words, a tiny bit. Anet if you see this, can you please have an option in the settings for small, medium, large mouse cursor? I know there are 3rd party programs but I don't want any of that.

You have only 2 options to workaround this:

1. The "Cursor Contrast" setting under "General Options" (The high setting is ugly, but the low setting might help you).

2. When the ingame DPI Scaling checkbox is set, then the GW2 UI and cursor scales with your Windows scaling setting. At 1440p / 24 inch you are supposed to set the scaling at 125%. This should even be the default setting if I remember corretly. It pretty much (the exakt mutiplier would be 133%) matches the text size you would get at 1080p / 24 inch with 100% scaling.

Yes I have it at 125% it was the default. Yeah the cursor contrast is just ugly meh, any setting for me actually.  I guess I can kinda live with no DPI scaling and set it to large for now. I hope Anet makes a mouse cursor setting, small, medium, large.
