Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like cursor-pointer and cursor-grab to control which cursor is displayed when hovering over an element:

<button class="cursor-pointer ...">Submit</button>
<button class="cursor-progress ...">Saving...</button>
<button class="cursor-not-allowed ..." disabled>Confirm</button>

Using a custom value

Use the cursor-[<value>] syntax to set the cursor based on a completely custom value:

<button class="cursor-[url(hand.cur),_pointer] ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</button>

For CSS variables, you can also use the cursor-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<button class="cursor-(--my-cursor) ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</button>

This is just a shorthand for cursor-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

Prefix a cursor utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<button class="cursor-not-allowed md:cursor-auto ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</button>
