How to reset mouse cursor size

Configuration Help & General Discussion
1

I use BTT through Setapp and I love the feature 'Toggle between Big and Normal Cursor', which I mapped to a 5 finger tap on my magic trackpad. However, every now and the cursor does not return to 'Normal' and stays big and the tapping only switches between big and even bigger.

I have to go into the System Preferences (I'm still on Monterey, and need to stay there for a while), Accessibility, Display, Pointer and move the slider back to the left.

I've tried setting this through 'defaults write com.apple.universalaccess mouseDriverCursorSize 1' but although the setting changes using 'defaults read', the cursor size does not change.

Update: if I add killall cprefsd I can even see it change in System Preferences, but the cursor still doesn't change size.

Any idea how to fix this?
Or is there a BTT action I can use?

Currently there is no way to do this, but I can add an option. Might make sense anyways to not only have the toggle action, but an action that sets it to a specific size.

That would be awesome. Thank you!

I just found out that you added it to the newest version of BTT. That is AWESOME! Thank you SO SO much!
