The entire black border around the Big Big Cursors is made of conductive foam, i.e. the thing that makes the stylus work with capacitive touchscreens, so you don’t have to “point” them on the touchscreen the normal way like you would on a desktop computer. Don’t be fooled by their comically large size too, because as the video below proves, they can be used to click, draw and point precisely.

The only thing I don’t buy in the vid is the dirt-free part. Sure, if you use a stylus all the time your device won’t get fingerprints, but if you use your hand to pick up food you can bet some of that will still find its way on the screen even if you use a stylus. You can order the Big Big Arrow and Big Big Pointer for $13 (USD) each at the Big Big Cursor website. Mike should also release a Big Big Hourglass and a Big Big Ball of Death.

The pin is made of metal that’s coated with silver and then painted with enamel. Non-techies will look at it and see a mouse cursor. But both Apple fans and haters will look at it and see a Mac mouse cursor.

Point your virtual cursor to Nalden if you want to get your hands on this real world version; the Cursor Pin sells for €12.50 (~$18 USD). Unfortunately for iOS device users, the Nalden website is Flash-heavy, which is kinda ironic if you think about it. Etsy does have a couple alternatives, and both are cheaper too, although they’re not made of metal and have a pixelated look.

…because his enemy wasn’t real. Whoa. That was Zen-like.

Don’t fear for the insect folks, it was released into the wild after the enlightening encounter, hungry but wiser than ever before.

There are four cursor sculptures in the series. They are rendered in three dimensions and made more colorful than we’re used to. The designs on the side are fantastically pixelated and lovely to look at.

The sculptures were created by Ben Fino-Radin, and are made of plastic needlepoint canvas and yarn. He is a big fan of combining technology and yarn in interesting ways. You can see more of his work at his website.

Bringing the hand cursor into 3-D and making it pretty huge is super cool in my book. I’d love to have one of these on display in my office!

Designed by Deviantart member allewund, the cursor set contains reproductions of every Wii cursor I can think of. Just about the only thing missing is the ability to turn the cursors over as you lay your mouse on its back.

You can download the Wii cursor pack here.
