There doesn't appear to be a limit to the maximum size the KDE cursor can get when you shake it.

I find this hilarious. Is this an easter egg? When shaking my mouse cursor, I can get it to take up the whole screens height.
This is KDE Plasma 6.
I just turned it on the other day out of curiosity, now I'm jigglin' my mouse to see how big I can get it.
Nah baby, I swear! You just gotta jiggle it.
It's PNG? I was hoping it would be a vector image to have unpixelated monster mouse pointer goodness.
Newer Plasma versions use Vector pointers when available

And that's a good thing!
Why would shaking the cursor make it bigger in the first place? Is this an accessibility feature to find the cursor?
Yeah, and Windows and OS X both do it as well.
Though there being no upper limit to the size is amusing.
Yes. It was enhanced and enabled by default in KDE6
Noticed this a few weeks back as my mouse was dying and needed a shake. Not sure what causes it, but I found it entertaining enough not to complain. Still enjoying it tbh
To me it makes sense. If you shake, the cursor gets bigger. If you are not able to see and find it, then it makes sense to shake more until you find it. There is no harm, so its fine (but also agree on being hilarious).
Dude I love that feature soooo much, I found it like 2 months ago and I shake it all the time. Its like a normal thinking thing for me now, spin it while I use my thinking meat on things.
I always just slide my mouse to the top left, and eventually I see it.
