CursorFX offers a rich suite of customization options, allowing users to create and apply unique, animated cursor themes that enhance the visual appeal of their desktop.
The built-in editor provides users with full control over cursor design, enabling them to import artwork, adjust animations, and layer effects, making it a powerful tool for personalization.
The software is lightweight and performs smoothly on modern systems, ensuring that the responsiveness of the mouse remains unaffected while providing high-quality graphics for high-DPI monitors.

The application is reported to be buggy, with issues such as frequent license verification problems and crashes that disrupt the user experience.
Users who prefer minimalist interfaces may find the animated cursors distracting, and the software does not provide any functional enhancements to Windows beyond aesthetic changes.
Some users feel that the limited scope of cursor customization does not justify the cost, especially if they do not plan to utilize the more advanced features or create custom themes.

The application is reported to be quite buggy, with users experiencing persistent errors that prevent proper functionality, such as issues with mouse settings not saving. Many find it easier to manually adjust settings through Windows rather than relying on the app.
- “The application is really buggy; for me, at least, I changed it, closed the tab, and when I tried to open the app again, it would run into the same error over and over, and my mouse wouldn't change.”
- “Buggy; it's easier to just download mouse files and change them yourself via the Windows menus.”
