Date: 16 January, 2026
Time: 13.30-14.00 CET

Join us for a journey through the wildest custom cursors on the web – and discover why they are a nightmare for accessibility. We show how these “creative” design choices clash with magnification, inverted colours, and user settings. Expect some laughs, some horror, and one simple request: please stop making custom cursors.
Speaker:
- Robert “Robban” Lindblom, User Relations
- Malin Hammarberg, Senior UX Designer and Accessibility Specialist
