Can you use a custom cursor on ipad pro 2024?

Available information about customising the Mouse/Trackpad pointer can be found here:

Use a Bluetooth mouse or trackpad with your iPad – Apple Support

For iPad, the touchpad/mouse cursor represents the relative "touch" point of the screen. While the cursor style cannot be changed to that of pointer, the cursor size and colour is configurable in iPad settings.

For iPadOS17 and earlier:

Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control

For iPadOS18, the path to the setting is slightly different:

Settings > Accessibility > [Accessories] Pointer Control

The screenshot above shows the pointer/cursor in its default colour - with the Pointer Size setting at its minimum.

Apple does invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. If you would like to see more control over the pointer style in a future version of iPadOS, this would be the most appropriate channel through which to direct your request:

While there are no guarantees that the requested change will be implemented, if sufficient requests are received by Apple, change is perhaps more likely to occur.

I don’t like the grey circle. Can you change it to a pointer arrow or a custom cursor?

No.

You can let Apple know it's something you'd like to see in the future here:

Hello, the pointer can be adjusted from the iPad settings, but you will not be able to exchange it for a pointer arrow or some custom shape. I hope I have answered your question 🧑🏻‍💻.
