Change Macbook Mouse Pointer with Shake to Find
In Mac OS X El Capitan, Apple added a feature to dynamically customize the mouse pointer size when it’s hard to find it on the screen. It’s called Shake to Find.
This feature helps you locate the cursor on the screen when it is too small to be detected. Shaking the mouse or moving your finger up and down on the trackpad will make the pointer temporarily magnify and you can easily locate it on the desktop. When shaking stops, the pointer will return to its original size.
To enable Shake to Find, check the box next to Shake mouse pointer to locate it in the Accessibility panel above the cursor size slider.
It’s done. Now you just need to shake the mouse or hover your finger on the trackpad keyboard to zoom in on the pointer. The faster the shake, the larger the pointer. Stop shaking, it will return to normal size.
If you don’t want to set a larger mouse pointer size as a default setting, but only need a large size in some cases, consider enabling this mouse shake feature, because perhaps the large pointer will bring A little difficult to use during use.
