Windows, by default, uses a white cursor. Mac, by default uses a black one.
Despite using Windows for a long time, the moment I switched over to the penguin side and started using a dark cursor, it just felt more natural and comfortable. These days I use Plasma's "Breeze Dark" cursor theme, which is grey with a short rounded tail and a long rounded head. It looks nice, modern and is unintrusive.
Have you ever tried anything other than the defaults? Do you think getting poked by the cursor would hurt?
I discovered custom cursors a few years ago and I fell in love with BlueGuy's cursors
My current cursor is Crystal Clear (https://www.deviantart.com/biueguy/art/Crystal-Clear-v5-Aero-298678459), but I occasionally switch to their Dim Nitrogreen (https://www.deviantart.com/biueguy/art/DIM-v4-NitroGreen-578318821) style as well
Night Diamond (https://www.deviantart.com/biueguy/art/Night-Diamond-v3-0-Opal-White-350470831) is also one I used a lot, the first custom cursor I used actually, though it's not as clean as the others
