TC Cursor Utilities - Cursor Tracker, Magnifier, Hz Bench & Overlays

TC Cursor Utilities is a desktop pointer inspection, pixel magnification, mouse polling-rate benchmark, and visual cursor overlay toolkit for Linux.

An independent Linux alternative inspired by PowerToys Mouse Utilities for desktop cursor tracking, live pixel magnification, hardware mouse polling-rate and click speed benchmarking, and visual spotlight or crosshair overlays.

Key Features:

  • Global Cursor Tracker: Real-time X/Y coordinates via QCursor.pos(), live pointer velocity (px/s), cumulative travel distance in pixels and physical centimeters using real monitor DPI, and multi-screen boundary detection.
  • Zoomed Pixel Crosshair Magnifier: Live 8x to 24x pixel-grid loupe via QScreen.grabWindow inspecting exact HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, and WCAG relative luminance under the cursor with pinned swatch history.
  • Mouse Polling-Rate (Hz) & Click Benchmark: High-resolution monotonic nanosecond event analyzer measuring real pointer report rate (Hz), frame interval jitter (ms), click speed (CPS), and switch hold/bounce intervals.
  • Spotlight & Crosshair Overlay Helper: Toggleable click-through transparent desktop overlay window providing precision alignment hairlines and cursor locator halo rings, plus Linux XCursor theme diagnostics and CSV/JSON/TXT report export.
