Fun fact. I had this problem and in the Windows settings I found an option to have the cursor have a circular animation when I hit the Ctrl key.

One thing I like about mac is that if you wiggle your cursor, it grows in size so that it's easy to spot. It's on by default and doesn't require keyboard which is nicer UX.

KDE: Shake the cursor to make it bigger
-
And for Windows people, there's a PowerToys thing where double clicking control highlights it.
Worth noting that on some setups the cursor can straight up disappear until it's moved. It's not even just that you're dumb and can't see it, it often gets hidden by certain types of content.
-
There's a gnome extension for it as well.

Seriously, I was gonna say that this is a software skill issue at this point in computing history.

I never had an issue with losing my cursor on Linux, but I always lose it on windows despite them basically acting the same, is it because of the cursor colour or something?

I like the "press control to circle the cursor" feature. It helps a lot in BTD6. :P

I've wondered something related and maybe someone here knows. When using breeze dark and shake shake in Plasma, it seems still pretty sharp even when becoming massive. However using other themes, (like Layan) and shake shake, you see it get quite blurry as it gets bigger.
It has just been a curiosity of mine.
-
Probably a vector icon image in breeze and a raster icon image in Layan.
-
Yeah, I've read before that Breeze uses SVGs and other themes may not...

I have yo use a big ass cursor with auto contrast
-
I use the accessibility feature that allows you to set a key to make the cursor flash on command. By flash it has a bunch of circles around it on command.

Life pro tip make your cursor neon blue. 💦 Blue not 🌊 blue
-
Mines magenta because I kept losing it while playing games like PoE
-
I set my crosshairs to neon Blue in any game that allows you to do it

I low-key love that Plasma added the "shake your mouse to enlarge the cursor" feature from macOS. Mostly for the comedic relief when you're frustrated
Does it grow larger the more you shake it? 😏
It actually does lol. You can get it to cover most of the screen
Yeah, if you're bored waiting for something, see how large you can grow your cursor!
I really like that feature and one that allows you to hold a couple keys and then you move the mouse, it'll draw a line using whatever colour you chose. Both features are super useful in helping me find my cursor.
They also added it to iPadOS 26 (which is still in beta) if you use it with a mouse or trackpad.
