  1. useful probably only if you copy the example itselft
    in ‘real world’ the custom cursor if far away from the actual one

  2. You wrote: “Custom cursors can be a great way to draw your users in, keep them engaged…”

    Here. I’ll fix it for you:
    “Custom cursors can be a great way to draw your users in, keep them ENRAGED.”

    Please don’t use them. They’re annoying and counterproductive.

  3. Instead of updating style property – just set beforehand custom properties and update them. And use those custom properties in css of your cursors.
