The two portrait monitors are 1920×1080, the top middle is 2560×1440, and the bottom middle is 3440×1440.
I just want my mouse to cross the gaps created by the ultrawide. Does anyone know a way to do this inside Windows 11? Or is there a piece of software that handles multiple displays better than Windows itself?
I thought I’d be able to deal with it, but it’s really driving me crazy!

As much as I’d love a feature like this, it simply isn’t possible in Windows. The only solution I can remember that somehow works is from displayfusion, but last I heard they only offer the option when you buy the paid version.

I have my monitors misaligned in windows specifically so I can move my cursor between them easily. I have a 1440p main and a 1080p side one. Physically, their bottom edges are aligned. In windows, their top edges are because my cursor kept getting stuck in the top left corner of my main one when I wanted it to move to the side one.
So what I’d probably do is put the side ones in the corners created by the middle two. Assuming that’s even possible. Yeah now you’d have to move your cursor to the top corners of your bottom middle monitor to move it to the side ones, but at least for me it’d be preferable to it getting stuck in some corner

I think you should extend your screen by using Win+P and choosing extend option

Might work with this program called littlebigmouse.
If you are using an Nvidia GPU setup DSR factors and “I crease” the resolution of your top monitor so it in software scales more properly with your setup your computer with think it’s a bigger screen. If on AMD use virtual super resolution.
After either rof those are turned on go into windows display and your top monitor will have exposed to it like 20 extra non. Native resolutions that it can use. It doesn’t affect picture quality at all if used in conjunction with proper scale %

Use xrandr 🙂

Get a wider top monitor, otherwise no.

Make Screen 1 the same resolution as Screen 2. Unfortunately.

There’s a checkbox to “ease cursor movement between displays” I take it that doesn’t help. Sorry I only have two screens. Also, 2 is offset a little bit to the left.

Hey! any chance you can send or post a picture of your monitor setup? I’m looking for a multi-monitor with ultrawide setups for reference. Thanks anyways:D

Not sure what version of windows you’re on but Win11 supports this feature:
I only have two screens and it isn’t what I’d call a good use-case for that, but in your case, might be worth a try.

Settings -> System -> Display -> Multiple displays -> Ease cursor movement between displays
Does something very similar.

In the simulation, drag them up into the red areas. Yeah, you’ll lose the ability to go from UWD laterally over to the outer monitors but at least you can move the mouse around to all 4.

It won’t work if you are using a virtual display driver though
Little Big Mouse allows this
You can try mouse unsnag it works
