Not sure how to change arrows, but if you're using gnome-shell, you can
install gnome-tweak-tool and under the mouse settings, you can set the
cursor to highlight with a ripple effect when you press the control key.
It's nice when the mouse is in a corner or the cursor is a vertical bar,
and maybe helpful in your case as well.
