A mouse utility tool for PC
Lock Cursor Tools is a free utility tool developed by Digola for PC devices. This piece of software helps users lock their cursors to a specific location or portion of their desktop screens. This mouse cursor tool lets them mark a part of their screen to keep their cursor contained.
Similar to other programs, such as Mouse Lock and Cursor Lock, Lock Cursor Tools can help restrict your cursor's movements to a set area on your desktop, preventing accidental mouse hovers and clicking on the wrong program if you have multiple windows opened and stacked on top of one another.
How do I use Lock Cursor Tools?
Lock Cursor Tools does not require a lot of storage space for installation, and it is easy on system resources. Once installed, you can enable it with the use of a keyboard hotkey, which is set to Ctrl + Alt + F12 by default. Alternatively, you can also toggle it by click on its app icon located in your system tray.
The program offers three methods to be able to lock your cursor. The first one is defining an area in your screen (in pixels) or manually drawing a selection box. If you run multiple monitors, the second method is selecting a specific monitor your settings will take effect on. Lastly, you can limit this tool to work a specific application only.
There is a particular issue that you should be aware of if you plan on using Lock Cursor Tools. Some users have reported that they could not disable the tool when used with native applications such as Notepad and Windows Explorer. They were forced to manually end the program's process via the Task Manager to regain control of their cursors.
A handy mouse cursor tool
All in all, Lock Cursor Tools is a handy little app for managing your desktop mouse cursor. It's easy to use, offers multiple methods to lock your cursor, and is easy on your system resources. There is that small issue that it has with native applications, but aside from that, this is a tool that is worth trying out.
