This would be a good place to start.  https://www.stardock.com/products/?from=nav

You will find that some folks have found that even if the software doesn't show it as Windows 8 compatiable that for the most part others do work.

Here is another forum thread on the subject that may help also.  https://forums.wincustomize.com/432321

moon_dancer, you paid for products that work on Windows7. You got what you paid for. No one at Stardock told you to install Windows 8. 

Patience will get you what you want. But you already have what you paid for. 

MouseGoddess, I'd try reinstalling CursorFX, or maybe even try a different mouse. I use CursorFX on Windows 8.1 with zero problems.

Just suggestions. I had a mouse to do that. It was a wireless mouse and what fixed it was to move the mouse closer to the receiver. I had to run an extension USB cable.

Anyway, I hope you get it fixed, but I don't think it's a Windows 8.1 thing.
