CrosshairEDGE — Custom Crosshair Overlay for PC
A professional custom crosshair overlay for Windows. Design FPS crosshairs with up to 9 layers, track ammo with a live bullet counter, hide on right-click, share presets through Steam Workshop, and organize your desktop — all in one safe, lightweight overlay.
Core Features
Custom Crosshair
Design your perfect crosshair with up to 9 independent layers. Mix 5 shapes (Plus, Ring, Square, Triangle, Dot), full color control, segment toggles, and 8 precision sliders — gap, length, thickness, outline, rotation, opacity, blur, and scale.
Bullet Counter
Live ammo counter built into your crosshair overlay. Three modes: Numeric digits, Circular ring of ticks, or Linear tick row. Configurable shot/reload delays, magazine size, colors, and a per-preset reload hotkey.
Right-Click Action
Hold right mouse button to instantly hide the crosshair — perfect for ADS or scope use. Configurable per preset, so it activates exactly when and where you need it.
Steam Workshop
Browse, download, and share crosshair presets with the community. Filter by Popular, Top Rated, or Recent. Vote, subscribe, and upload your own designs with custom preview images.

Desktop Organizer
Pin files, folders, and shortcuts to slide-out edge panels (Top, Left, Right). Drag items from your desktop to clean it up while keeping everything one click away — fully customizable icons, labels, colors, and opacity.
Complete Customization Control
20 Preset Slots
Save up to 20 complete crosshair configurations. Press F3 to cycle through them instantly. Each preset stores all layer settings, positions, colors, and per-preset options like Right-Click Hide.
Full Color Control
Separate color pickers for crosshair and outline. HSV color model with 2D hue-saturation selector and dedicated hue slider for precise color matching.
Segment Toggles
Each shape has individual segment controls. Toggle segments on or off, and right-click to switch between rounded and flat segment ends for pixel-perfect customization.
Position Control
Move individual layers with ↑ ↓ ← → keys when the menu is open. Move all crosshairs together with arrow keys (works during gameplay). Movement speed accelerates while held.
Global Scale Multiplier
Right-click the Scale slider to activate orange global mode. Resize all layers and shapes together from 0.25× to 2.5× while maintaining proportions.
Export & Import
Share your entire preset collection with others. Export all 20 presets, hotkey bindings, and settings to a file, or import someone else's configuration.
Bullet Counter — Three Modes
Track your ammo without taking your eyes off the action. Choose the display style that fits your game and crosshair.
Numeric
Clean digital display with a rounded frame. Shows current ammo count (e.g. "30", "--9", "---" when empty). Fixed-width digits for stable rendering.
Circular
A ring of ticks around your crosshair — one tick per bullet, up to 100. As you fire, ticks fade out, giving you a glanceable visual indicator.
Linear
Horizontal row of ticks with configurable rotation. One tick per bullet, up to 100. Rotate from 0° to 360° to position it anywhere around your crosshair.
Configurable shot delay, reload delay, magazine size (up to 999), per-mode colors, opacity, and scale. Works through pure passive key polling — no hooks, no injection, completely safe.
