About the Objects cursor collection
Objects is for people who want a custom pointer but not an animal or a famous character. The packs are original designs based on ordinary items. Craft is covered by Pin & Yarn Pair and Stitch Buddy Pincushion. Post and delivery get Delivery Pack Duo, Parcel Pal Backpack and Picker Pal Bot, a warehouse scanner bot. School and office life shows up in Crumpled Memo Mate and Cheeky Grade Stamp. Sport is there with Feather Shuttlecock, Minimal Shuttlecock and Victory Finish Flag, and there are one-offs such as Prank Hourglass, Pagoda Tower Pal, Treadling Tire and Glossy Magenta Comb. It suits hobbyists, teachers and anyone who likes a small in-joke about their job.
Object cursors that match a hobby or a job
The quickest way through this page is to look for your own interests. Sewists and knitters have Pin & Yarn Pair, a green pincushion with two yarn balls, and Stitch Buddy Pincushion. Teachers and markers will recognise Cheeky Grade Stamp and Crumpled Memo Mate. Anyone who runs an online shop or tracks orders all day may enjoy Delivery Pack Duo, Parcel Pal Backpack or Picker Pal Bot. Badminton players have two shuttlecocks to choose from, racing fans have Victory Finish Flag, and cyclists or drivers might claim Treadling Tire.
Plain items and items with a face
Some packs draw the thing itself and some turn it into a character. Feather Shuttlecock and Prank Hourglass are the straight ones, and on hover they swap to a gloved pointing hand, as does Delivery Pack Duo. Victory Finish Flag keeps the flag and adds a pointing glove. Packs named Buddy, Pal or Mate, such as Stitch Buddy Pincushion, Pagoda Tower Pal, Parcel Pal Backpack and Crumpled Memo Mate, are small mascots with a smile. If you want the most understated result, start with the first group. If you want something friendlier that still is not a cartoon animal, start with the second.
Which Objects pack to pick
Objects with a tapered form work most like an arrow. A shuttlecock and a flag both have an obvious end, so Feather Shuttlecock, Minimal Shuttlecock and Victory Finish Flag are easy to aim. Rounder items such as Treadling Tire and Stitch Buddy Pincushion feel less precise. The two shuttlecock packs are the plainest designs on the page. Glossy Magenta Comb is the most vivid and shows on both light and dark pages, and Cheeky Grade Stamp is a glossy red.

Where Objects cursors work
Object cursors show on the websites you work in through Chrome, Edge, Brave or Opera GX: Google Docs and Sheets, web mail, order dashboards, craft marketplaces and pattern sites. They do not appear in installed programs such as Excel or Outlook, on chrome:// pages, in the Chrome Web Store or across the operating system.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good custom cursor that is not a cartoon character?
Object packs are the place to start. Feather Shuttlecock, Victory Finish Flag and Pin & Yarn Pair are everyday items with no character attached. They change the feel of the browser while staying fairly neutral, which makes them a reasonable choice for a work profile.
Is there a sewing, knitting or craft cursor?
Yes. Pin & Yarn Pair is a green pincushion with orange tassels and two yarn balls, and Stitch Buddy Pincushion is a plump pincushion wrapped in yarn. Both are pointer and hover pairs, and they show on any pattern site or craft marketplace you open in the browser.
Can I turn my own object or logo into a cursor?
Yes. The site has a builder that accepts uploaded images, so a tool of your trade, a mascot or your own logo can become a pointer and hover pair. Simple shapes with clear edges work well. Use only images you have the right to use.
Is there an hourglass or loading-style cursor?
Prank Hourglass is an hourglass with sand frozen mid-fall, paired with a pointing glove for links. It is a still image, so it does not spin or mean the page is loading. It simply replaces your normal pointer on websites.
