Sadly no, there is no way of doing this. If anything i'd recommend going into control panel>mouse>pointer options then tick show location of pointer when i press the CTRL key. This will make it easier to find!

Is there any way I can make it so two mice plugged in gives me two mouse cursors?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

I've always wondered about this but I don't think I've ever found a way to do it.
Also, most operating systems would get really confused about having more than one active window.

Sig under construction.

Windows only supports 1 keyboard and 1 mouse.

The OS was not designed for multiple users on the same system at the same time.

It could be implemented, much like how the system supports multiple printers, scanners, game controllers, etc, but I don't see it being in Microsoft priority list, maybe not even any sort of list for that matter.
