[PC] Preventing mouse cursor from disappearing on camera move

Simple question: when I hold down the right mouse button, how do I prevent it from making the cursor disappear visually?

None of the in-game configuration options for mouse (Hardware FFXIV, Hardware OS, or Software) changes this. They all make the pointer disappear when holding this button. Increasing the size of the cursor isn't my issue either because I'm constantly holding right mouse button to turn the camera, point my character, and position at the same time during fights. It's a substantial problem for me because it's disorienting and an annoying mental load to sometimes have to search for it mid-fight, or even worry about where it is without letting go of camera controls.

Thanks

You can't. But I fail to see what the problem is, as when you're holding down your camera button your cursor stays locked in place and will be in the exact same spot it was beforehand when you release the button.

That's unfortunate. I still have legit need for it because "remembering" the mouse is not such a trivial task during a hectic fights. Holding RMB is like FPS gaming, otherwise the mouse pointer is standard PC usage -- both of which have reasons why I might end up picking up the mouse and repositioning it physically. However trivial either of these adjustments occur for me, when I am using both interchangably and can't actually see the mouse for periods of time, it becomes a non-trivial distraction to try find and adjust for where the pointer is, and my ideal solution is to trivially see the mouse. I get why most wouldn't need this, and it's a minor improvement, but a significant one for me and presumably some others.

I realize the only reason this didn't bother me as much before for years is because I was using a very high DPI setting (3300+) which minimized picking up the mouse and realigning since it was mostly wrist movements. I'd rather be able to lower my DPI setting so I can use bigger hand movements, and deal with adjusting subconsciously.
