I have a mouse on each side of the keyboard, so changing the mouse pointer shape was never even considered.

It might be fun to set up your system to switch between left and right-tilted cursors automatically, depending on which mouse you're using.
Also make it maintain 2 cursor positions and switch between them depending on the mouse. It would be pretty neat with multiple monitors, with focus following the (active) cursor. (Assuming you're ambidextrous, of course :))
The steam deck has a keyboard that supports input from both trackpads at the same time. Always surprised me this is not really supported by most desktop environments.
Woah! I may be ambidextrous, but no way am I ambicursorous!
Bi-cursorious might matter more when using a stylus on a iPad or similar. I wonder.

In 30yrs of IT support, this is a thing I have never seen. If I had, I'd be forever inserting into conversations about end-users. Strictly for the novelty.

The real deal is keyboard mouse keyboard mouse keyboard.

Then both hands can mouse and access a “near half” of both sides of the keyboard.
