A small JavaScript and CSS experiment that hides the real user cursor and paints a fake, controllable cursor instead, including fake :hover styles. It is a demo/playground project rather than a production library.
Use cases
- control the user's cursor with javascript
- create a fake custom cursor on a webpage
- animate the mouse pointer with css and js
- build playful cursor-driven ui experiments
- hide the native cursor and render a custom one
When to choose
- you want to experiment with custom or scripted cursor behavior on a demo or art page
- you need a lightweight starting point for cursor manipulation in the browser
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, accessible cursor solution
- you want broad browser support or long-term maintenance
- you dislike UX patterns that take control away from the user
