About This Software

Overview

MykrosCursor is an OS-level cursor replacement (not an overlay) for Linux and Steam Deck. Swap out obscure or hard-to-see cursors—even in games that include their own cursors—with the theme you choose. This functionality was previously almost exclusive to Windows; MykrosCursor bridges the gap, working seamlessly in both Desktop and Gaming Mode.

Key Features

Lag-free swap – hooks standard X11 / XWayland calls; zero added input delay.

Built-in theme pack – Ships with several ready-to-use themes.

Import or create – load Linux XCursor themes, Windows CUR files, or generate a cursor from any image.

Steam Workshop integration – browse and subscribe to new themes inside the app.

Resize and customize – Resize or recolor any of the cursors.

Works everywhere – Linux desktop apps, Proton/Wine games, and Steam Deck (Desktop & Gaming Mode).

Multi-monitor support - Multi-monitor support with no FPS impact.

User-space only – no kernel drivers; compatible with common anti-cheat services.

Anti-cheat compatibility

MykrosCursor operates strictly at the desktop/input layer on Linux and Steam Deck. It replaces the cursor with your chosen pointer whenever a game asks the system to display one—without touching game memory, altering gameplay logic, or requiring elevated (root) privileges.

We’ve tested MykrosCursor with the various anti-cheat systems and encountered no issues. Policies can change, so please review your game’s Terms of Service before use.
