It is with the help of the cursor, which we can control via a mouse or trackpad, that we can easily operate within operating systems – we can browse websites, work in folders, play games and much more. Within macOS, there are several different options through which the cursor or its behavior can be modified in certain ways. Let's look at 5 of them together in this article.
