Microsoft PowerToys Adds Fancy-Ass “Cursor Wrap” Because Apparently Moving Your Mouse Normally Was Too Fucking Hard

So, the geniuses over at Microsoft have decided that people are too goddamn lazy to move their mouse across a screen like normal human beings. Enter the latest PowerToys update — the “Cursor Wrap” tool. Yeah, you heard that right — a bloody teleportation gimmick for your pointer. When your cursor hits one edge of the screen, it just *magically* reappears on the opposite side. Because god forbid you have to drag your mouse another two centimeters, right?

The update (version 0.84 or whatever they’re calling it this week) also brings in a few other tweaks and bug fixes, but really, the big shiny bauble here is this edge-hopping nonsense. Great, now you can lose your cursor twice as fast! Works across single or multiple monitors too — imagine the joy of your mouse vanishing into the digital abyss and popping out on another screen like some kind of caffeinated ferret.

It’s basically for people who think “I need *more productivity*” but what they really need is a nap. Still, I’ll admit, if you’re juggling a wall of monitors like some deranged stock trader, this thing could save your wrist from early retirement. Or maybe screw up your spatial sense forever. Either way, congratulations, you’re now teleporting your mouse like a cheap magician at a kid’s party. Bravo, Microsoft, another truly world-changing feature we didn’t ask for.

If you’re desperate to try out the digital equivalent of teleporting your coffee cup across the desk, you can grab it via PowerToys on GitHub or straight from the Microsoft Store — because of course they want you in their goddamn ecosystem.

Reminds me of the time some poor sod in the office asked me to “make the mouse faster.” So I cranked the sensitivity to max, installed a random macro script, and told him it now anticipates his movements. He spent the rest of the day swearing at the cursor like a lunatic. Some days, I really miss the smell of burnt temper and broken hardware.
