Good job

Plugin is simple and easy to setup, gives out some nice default cursor options for absolutely free, kudos to the developers!

Needs a “disable on phone option”!

The cursor works on phone, which looks really bad! I dont want the cursor to pop up whenever i click the screen on my phone, because it blocks the content on the page!
