PointerStick is a small, free software program that lets you control your mouse with a virtual stick. It makes mouse movements and cursor positions more visible, making them easier to identify. This tool is especially useful when you use a projector or larger LCD/LED screen. The program runs in the system tray and requires no installation and is compatible with most recent versions of Windows. The application has several customization options, such as a customizable size and transparency. It also has several shortcuts, and it is fully customizable.
The program installs as a free executable file. Once installed, it turns your cursor into a virtual pointer stick. The stick can take up the entire screen, allowing you to highlight the content you are working on. The best part is that you can customize the size, shape, and other features. You can even rotate and flip the stick as needed. There's no need to modify the settings on your computer as the application will automatically do it for you.
Users of PointerStick often complain that the cursor continues to drift after they've finished manipulating the stick. The good news is that some software will automatically detect this behavior and calibrate the pointer stick accordingly. Besides, most of the software will allow you to customize the pointer with different colors and styles. This is especially helpful when you're presenting a big-screen presentation. Once you've installed the software, you can customize your pointer using the app.
