I’m having trouble with the wow mouse cursor not being hidden during combat, I’m just noticing this, I don’t know for what reason but I thought that the mouse cursor automatically hides once u engage in combat and it shows up again when u tap the mouse maybe to target something. But for some reason my cursor is just on my screen all the time is there something I pressed or is there way to make it go back to only showing up when I’m targeting with my mouse?
The norm is for the mouse cursor to be visible in combat and even with the Advanced Interface Options addon there are no options to hide the cursor in combat. There was a bug in older Windows bug where if you used larger text size in the Windows display options it would cause your mouse to disappear in some directx games.
Given that most healing is done by selecting characters to heal with the mouse or moving the cursor over them, be glad that it works that way. Also, wow macros have 2 different mouse cursor related targeting functions, @cursor and @mousecurosr, which would be impossible to use if you couldn’t see the mouse cursor in combat.

So the problem actually lies with the in game mouse settings itself. Firstly you’ll want to use these commands in game.
/script SetCVar(“rawMouseAccelerationEnable”, 0);
/script SetCVar(“rawMouseEnable”, 1);
Now here is the tricky part. You CAN NOT adjust your mouse look speed or mouse speed at all in game. You have to actually change your mouse dpi in your mouse application via logitech, razer, corsair or with some mice on the actual mouse itself via a dpi button (final mouse for example). 1600 dpi is the base wow dpi and usually doesn’t have issues.
If you want to adjust your look speed to slow down a bit or your mouse sensitivity, simply go into the windows search bar:
Search “Mouse Settings”
On the upper right hand side select “Additional Mouse Options”
Select the “Pointer Options” tab at the top of the window and move it to the 4th line. (Adjust the line to whatever you desire)
