years ago i read that the reason for the lopsidedness of the cursor was because of the old crt monitors. it just looked better having two edges being ‘straight’; one exactly vertical up and down, one exactly horizontal, left to right; as those edges would have no ‘jaggies’
rotating the pointer straight-up makes it look even more off-kilter.

I fear no man but that…
I switched to a circular cursor and I love it so much. https://github.com/ful1e5/Google_Cursor
I’m about an hour into giving this circular cursor thing a try, and I think I’m a convert. You think it’d be hard to click on things given the overlap, but the color swap when you’re over an interactable really sells it. Thanks!
You might appreciate this one too:
I might try that. Did it take much getting used to? What do you like about it more? Is it hard to “aim” sometimes?
I’ve had literally no problem with aiming in fact aiming is easier. It took no getting used to whatsoever. I changed it because I was doing a video demonstrating a feature on a touch screen but using a mouse and it seemed closest to the touch tracking while doing a screen recording on a phone. I found I liked it and had no desire to go back.
I like the symmetry quite a bit as well as how easy it is to identify things I can interact with (black dot inside) vs things that I cannot (black border). I also really dig the thick text cursor. My only complaint is the resize handle is not super obvious. It’s kind of a lemon shape.
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
At least back when it was pixelated you could still pretend it was centered
