I like how my cursor randomly enlarges itself for like it's moving between a high-DPI and low-DPI mode despite being entirely on one display and nowhere near the edge between my internal and external. It gets big for maybe 1 second and goes back to normal.

That sounds like the "shake to locate" behavior and I would be totally lost(heh) without it since I have 2 4K monitors plus the onboard display, and that black cursor gets lost very easily. Shake the mouse, get big cursor, find cursor, be happy

It appears that one can disable it if it bothers you enough to comment about it: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/make-the-pointer-ea...

And while there, I learned that I can change the pointer color, so hopefully everyone has learned something valuable today :-D


Oh, neat. I had no idea it was intentional but I can see how that would be a useful feature. It felt like a bug to me because it felt disconnected from any intentional cursor movement on my part.


I believe it’s also optional, so you can turn it off.
