On Mate, there's an option that if I hit the CTRL key the mouse gets
animated bubbles drawn around it.  On a Mac, there's an option that if
you shake the mouse it makes the pointer very big.  On some desktop (I
can't remember which), an aid for the vision-impaired draws crosshairs
from the mouse pointer to every edge of the screen.

*Some* kind of find my mouse function is *very* handy.  I've got those
googlie "eyes" on my taskbar.

Every now and then mine goes nuts and madly scrambles around the
screen.  The optical sensor gets confused by my (real) desktop, and if
fluff or a hair gets curled up and caught under the optics that can
make things erratic.

On an older PC, that still had PS/2 mice, Linux was very bad at
handling my mouse, whereas Windows was perfectly fine.  If you made any
slightly fast movements Linux would send the mouse darting all over the
screen madly clicking on things.
