Shortcut to jump mouse cursor from one screen to another in Windows 10

I have two screens on my Windows 10 machine, and find it cumbersome to change the mouse cursor from one screen to another. The only way I know is to drag the mouse cursor from one screen to another, but that requires travelling some distance and going through the unblocked corner.

Is there a shortcut that would allow my mouse cursor to jump from one screen to another?

Not natively, but there's software that can do it. Have you considered to increase the speed of your mouse, aka the sensitivity? I can do one swipe and move the cursor from the bottom left of my left monitor to the top right of my right monitor in a 3140x1200 desktop space. My hand moves about 10~15 cm on the mouse pad. By use of Mouse accelleration, I can move small distances by just moving the mouse slowly.

Thanks @LPChip, increasing mouse speed helps, although there is still the barrier of passing through the right frontier corner.

@ArnaudWeil for corners, you may want to reposition your monitors in windows, to eliminate one of the two corners. That way you can stop it from snapping on at least one of the two corners. You will likely want to change the actual height of your monitors to correct for the shift too, but I never found a situation where this did not solve my problems, because its often only the top corner that is the problem, not the bottom.

Honestly, I actually have a program on my pc that allows me to do what you ask (its not free though) but I never use it because it takes much more time to move my hands to the keyboard to press the buttons, than it is to just push my mouse with some force to get the cursor precisely where I want it to go. Don't forget, after you move the mouse to the other cursor, it will still require you to move the cursor some more, so you must grab the mouse again.

Many sources can be found for Windows 10 shortcuts.
For example, Gizmodo's
The Ultimate Guide to Windows 10 Keyboard Shortcuts
that includes:

Windows Key+Shift+Left (or Right) — move a window to your next monitor.

If your problem is moving the mouse rather than a window,
you need a tool such as
AutoHotKey.

Here is a script (untested) that assumes your two monitors are
of the same size,
that uses Ctrl+Space for this:

^Space::

  CoordMode, Mouse, Screen ; mouse coordinates relative to the screen

  MouseGetPos, MouseX, MouseY

  if (MouseX > A_ScreenWidth) {

    MouseMove, -A_ScreenWidth, 0, 0, R

  } else {

    MouseMove, A_ScreenWidth, 0, 0, R

  }

return
