I know I can use e.clientX, but that gets the cursors position, which is the center of the cursor, not the hit position, which is usually at the tip of the pointer finger/edge.

1 - Hit/Click position
2 - Cursor position

Can anyone help me on this? I am not sure it is possible. I suppose I could just get the size of the cursor and subtract it, but you can set your cursor size, so that gets crossed out, unless I can get the size of the cursor too.

It does return the tip of the cursor. I guess that you have a margin on the body and it offsets the values – Konrad Aug 25 '23 at 05:39
@Konrad Oh! I didn't know the margin offsets it! How could I keep the margin, but remove the offset? – ArcadeSmasher Aug 25 '23 at 21:06
