Change default pointer location key in Windows 10

I have a feeling I may be barking up the wrong tree by asking this here, but I'll give it a try anyway.



On Windows 10, via 'Ease of Access' in Settings, it's possible to "Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key". Having multiple sized and orientated screens on my setup, this is very useful as the mouse pointer can be difficult to locate quickly.



However, CTRL is a key I frequently use, so having the pointer 'flare' trigger on every key press is irritating.



Is there any way I can change the key assigned to this function, or an alternate method to locate/flare the mouse pointer?



Thanks in advance.
