CSS for grabbing cursors (drag & drop)

In case anyone else stumbles across this question, this is probably what you were looking for:

.grabbable {
    cursor: move; /* fallback if grab cursor is unsupported */
    cursor: grab;
    cursor: -moz-grab;
    cursor: -webkit-grab;
}

 /* (Optional) Apply a "closed-hand" cursor during drag operation. */
.grabbable:active {
    cursor: grabbing;
    cursor: -moz-grabbing;
    cursor: -webkit-grabbing;
}

I think move would probably be the closest standard cursor value for what you're doing:

move
Indicates something is to be moved.

CSS3 grab and grabbing are now allowed values for cursor. In order to provide several fallbacks for cross-browser compatibility3 including custom cursor files, a complete solution would look like this:

.draggable {
    cursor: move; /* fallback: no `url()` support or images disabled */
    cursor: url(images/grab.cur); /* fallback: Internet Explorer */
    cursor: -webkit-grab; /* Chrome 1-21, Safari 4+ */
    cursor:    -moz-grab; /* Firefox 1.5-26 */
    cursor:         grab; /* W3C standards syntax, should come least */
}

.draggable:active {
    cursor: url(images/grabbing.cur);
    cursor: -webkit-grabbing;
    cursor:    -moz-grabbing;
    cursor:         grabbing;
}

Update 2019-10-07:

.draggable {
    cursor: move; /* fallback: no `url()` support or images disabled */
    cursor: url(images/grab.cur); /* fallback: Chrome 1-21, Firefox 1.5-26, Safari 4+, IE, Edge 12-14, Android 2.1-4.4.4 */
    cursor: grab; /* W3C standards syntax, all modern browser */
}

.draggable:active {
    cursor: url(images/grabbing.cur);
    cursor: grabbing;
}

"more custom" than CSS cursors means a plugin of some type, but you can totally specify your own cursors using CSS. I think this list has what you want:

.alias {cursor: alias;}
.all-scroll {cursor: all-scroll;}
.auto {cursor: auto;}
.cell {cursor: cell;}
.context-menu {cursor: context-menu;}
.col-resize {cursor: col-resize;}
.copy {cursor: copy;}
.crosshair {cursor: crosshair;}
.default {cursor: default;}
.e-resize {cursor: e-resize;}
.ew-resize {cursor: ew-resize;}
.grab {cursor: grab;}
.grabbing {cursor: grabbing;}
.help {cursor: help;}
.move {cursor: move;}
.n-resize {cursor: n-resize;}
.ne-resize {cursor: ne-resize;}
.nesw-resize {cursor: nesw-resize;}
.ns-resize {cursor: ns-resize;}
.nw-resize {cursor: nw-resize;}
.nwse-resize {cursor: nwse-resize;}
.no-drop {cursor: no-drop;}
.none {cursor: none;}
.not-allowed {cursor: not-allowed;}
.pointer {cursor: pointer;}
.progress {cursor: progress;}
.row-resize {cursor: row-resize;}
.s-resize {cursor: s-resize;}
.se-resize {cursor: se-resize;}
.sw-resize {cursor: sw-resize;}
.text {cursor: text;}
.url {cursor: url(https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/myBall.cur),auto;}
.w-resize {cursor: w-resize;}
.wait {cursor: wait;}
.zoom-in {cursor: zoom-in;}
.zoom-out {cursor: zoom-out;}

I may be late, but you can try the following code, which worked for me for Drag and Drop.

.dndclass{
    cursor: url('../images/grab1.png'), auto; 

}

.dndclass:active {
    cursor: url('../images/grabbing1.png'), auto;
}

You can use the images below in the URL above. Make sure it is a PNG transparent image. If not, download one from google.
