So i have two displays connected to my PC and like everyone who has more than one display i sometimes lose track of what display my mouse cursor is on. I would like there to be a software that can put your mouse in the center of your main display after some time has passed (when your PC is idle of course). i don't know if this exists but if it does I'd like to know where I can find it. I sometimes forget what display I left my mouse cursor on and i spend a few seconds all the time moving my mouse around to try and find it and its annoying.

 

EDIT: The windows tap control to display mouse thing isn't what i'm looking for.

there is a mouse setting in windows that will allow you to tap ctrl and have a large ring move inward around your mouse's position.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Yea but thats stupid. Personally i don't want to see that I'd rather the PC just move my mouse cursor to the middle of my main display when its idle so I always know where it is when i come back to my pc.

Refresh your page. Lol. And I don't think there's a program like that.

Yea the image wasn't showing up. It would be really cool if someone with the skill to code something simple like this could make it, I'd do it but I'm no coder.

Tip for when that happens, move the cursor in one direction, like move it to the top right, just constantly moving it up that direction and watch that corner of your monitors to see if you can spot it.

I guess that would work.

DisplayFusion allows you to set hotkey (or combination) for that.

 

On side note they have added quite few other features like switching audio devices on the fly.
