2 React Cursor Effects
React Cursor Effects demos demonstrate how to create unique visual effects that react to mouse movement. The main focus is on a component-based approach, where the cursor itself is moved to a separate component, managed by context or state. Examples show how to use useRef for direct access to the cursor’s DOM element and animate it with libraries like GSAP or Framer Motion for complex, non-CSS transitions.

React Animated Custom Cursor
This custom animated cursor implementation employs a dual-layer system where the inner dot follows mouse coordinates instantly via mousemove events, while the outer ring utilizes requestAnimationFrame with coordinate interpolation to create a smooth trailing effect.
Cursor Menu Button Morph with React and Framer Motion
This demo shows how to create a responsive and interactive cursor using Framer Motion that smoothly follows the mouse. The main feature is the “magnet effect,” where the cursor morphs into a part of the button on hover, providing a unique user experience.
