Could you build this?
No Replacing the OS cursor with a low-latency GPU-accelerated cursor featuring motion blur across games requires low-level Windows API hooking, driver-level rendering, and anti-cheat circumvention.
What it would actually take: The app must be written in low-level C++ or Rust using raw Win32 mouse input, DirectX/Vulkan overlay rendering, and custom HLSL motion blur shaders. The primary hurdles are maintaining zero-latency input responsiveness, drawing over exclusive-fullscreen games, and preventing detection by game anti-cheat systems (like BattlEye or Easy Anti-Cheat). This demands specialized systems programming, Windows kernel/graphics pipeline expertise, and graphics shader development.
