If you miss the days when cursors were a handful of black and white pixels, Alto brings that back. CenterPoint Gaming drew a chunky retro pointer in the style of the earliest GUI computers, with a subtle pixel animation as you move. It stays clean and readable, so it holds up fine during a workday. Runs as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam, and it is released under CC0.

“Reminiscent of the earliest computers with Graphical User Interfaces. License is CC0 1.0 Universal” (CenterPoint Gaming, on the Workshop)

  2. Subscribe to this skin on its Workshop page, or find “Alto” in the in-app browser.
  3. Select it in Mouse X and your Windows cursor changes instantly. No hooks, no injection.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Alto cursor?

Install Mouse X from Steam, then subscribe to the skin on its Workshop page (or inside the app). Mouse X downloads it and you can apply it with one click. No .cur files, no Control Panel digging.

Does it work on Windows 11?

Yes. Mouse X supports Windows 10 and 11, uses very little memory and CPU, and doesn’t hook or inject into games or other apps, so it runs quietly alongside everything else.

Is this cursor free?

The skin itself is free, like everything on the Mouse X Workshop. Mouse X is $2.99 on Steam, and the free demo lets you try custom cursors before buying.
