Mouse Locator

While we’re in a mousy kind of mood….

I was turned on to Mouse Locator while listening to the Typical Mac User podcast, hosted by Victor Cajiao.

This free application is elegant and simple; after a configurable duration of mouse inactivity, it briefly draws a bullseye around the mouse pointer as soon as the mouse is moved.

I find this to be tremendously useful on a large display, where there’s a lot of real estate in which to lose the mouse pointer. The bullseye makes the pointer instantly visible — no more wiggling the mouse around in order to locate the pointer.

Brilliant.
