Variable cursor in prototypes

+1 - would love to be able to change the cursor. I find that during UR, users scan the page and more easily find the clickable areas in the prototype, because the cursor is changing.

I currently consider this a confound in our UR - I have been trying to add more clickable areas to represent reality more, but it makes prototyping much longer.

Adding other existing ideas to this thread. We often show desktop and mobile prototypes in the same page and therefore do not set any device type, just the max height. This results in mobile prototypes being shown to clients with a desktop cursor which is not very realistic…

+1!! I have solid need for: upon click → change mouse cursor to custom cursor

Adding to the thread – I’m looking to record a prototype demo showing a mobile app concept, so I need the touch indicator cursor, but I’d prefer not to use a phone frame to keep it independent of any specific device. (The Android Large frame is actually pretty generic, but all the device frames require a device-specific frame size and aspect ratio.)

This appears to be a pretty standard ability among other prototyping tools, so it would be nice to see Figma fill this gap.

Meanwhile, it would also be good if Figma can let us choose the right cursor pointer in prototype player. Having an arrow pointer for phone/tablet/touch-device mocks is unnatural. Principle has circular tap cursor.

+1 Looking forward to this hopefully being a thing!

This would be helpful, I add the device frame later when I’m making video mocks.

The way I get around it now is by setting a touch device (in prototype options) that’s too large for the design. So I get the touch cursor, but without a device eating into my screencap.

need this feature!

+1 - custom cursor would be great!!!

This is especially important in prototypes as default behavior for some controls should change the cursor (i.e. buttons should be arrows, not hand pointers)
