Change Mouse Cursor Size

Please implement this, BioWare! The cursor is lost ridiculously easily when a bunch of stuff is flashing on your screen. It's surprisingly annoying. I'm on a 4K IPS 120Hz G-Sync gaming monitor, no way am I going back. It can't be that hard to make the cursor a scalable HUD element, can it?

On Windows 10, open the Start Menu and type pointer. Pick the option to change the mouse pointer size:

OK, that's interesting, but why doesn't SWTOR adjust it automatically like GW2 does? (The "size 1" pointer is just fine in Windows itself, but results in a cursor that's too small in SWTOR, and one that's about right in GW2.)

Will that change it in game too, or will swtor revert it back to what it was? Persoanlly I don't have a problem with the pointer, but it's an issue I've seen here, and in some guild chats. :)

It changes in-game. Setting it to 2 or 3 seems to give good results. Going all the way up to 15 is way far overkill.

 

It also changes *live* - if you have the settings window open on a second screen, you can try different sizes without reloading SWTOR.

Thank you for the help. I just starting playing again and kept losing the cursor. This made playing very difficult, so thank you.

Playing on a 55 inch tv @ 3840x2160 the cursor is like a speck moving around…

I have Win10 and did what you said and it opens up Mouse Properties. There is no place to change the pointer size, though. I searched all of the tabs. There's a place to change the pointer speed, trails, what type of pointer it is, but that's about it. I tried using the Magnified (system scheme) setting under the Pointers tab inside Mouse Properties. That changes the pointer outside the game to a larger one, but does nothing to the cursor inside the game.

 

UPDATE: Nevermind, I found it, it wasn't under Mouse Properties. ROFL. A little more info on what to click might have helped but in the end, I did find it. BTW, outside the game, setting it to 3 is insanely huge and annoying...ROFL!
