That chunky white arrow and the spinning hourglass from Windows 95 are back with this animated skin by astrodome1994, complete with pixel edges and the classic wait animation. It runs as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam, so the retro look follows your pointer everywhere. If you grew up on beige towers and CRT monitors, this one feels like home. Mouse X is $2.99 once on Steam, with a free demo, and every Workshop skin including this one comes with it.
How do I install the Windows 95 Plus - Windows 95 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.
