What is a Custom Cursor?

A custom cursor is changing the default icon design of the mouse cursor “pointer”.

With the help of HTML, CSS, and a little bit of JavaScript, You can create unique cursor designs for websites and add great interactions like hover animations, click effects, and more. All that would make a memorable experience for the websites.
