Gaming Cursor Crosshairs & Overlays
Many FPS games have limited crosshair options. A custom overlay ensures you always have a consistent, high-visibility center dot or crosshair, regardless of the weapon or game state.
🎯 Why Use a Custom Crosshair? In-game crosshairs often bloom (expand) when moving or shooting, which can be distracting. A static overlay stays fixed in the center of your screen, helping with centering and pre-aiming.
How to Set Up
Xbox Game Bar (Windows)
- Press Win + G to open Game Bar.
- Use the Store widget logic to finding 'Crosshair X' or similar widgets (some are paid).
- Pin the widget to your screen so it stays visible during gameplay (ensure 'Click-through' is enabled if supported).
Dedicated Software
Apps like Crosshair V2 (Microsoft Store, free) or Crosshair X (Steam, paid) offer highly customizable layers. Microsoft PowerToys also has a 'Mouse Crosshair' utility for accessibility focused users (Win + Alt + P).
⚠️ Anti-Cheat Warning
Most overlays like Xbox Game Bar or monitor-based crosshairs are safe. However, avoid aim-assist cheats that hook into game processes. Pure visual overlays are generally accepted, but always check game Terms of Service.
