Ok, I did it but didn't have time to test it at all. Instead of doing the timer on chaning to the hand (ie on enter) I did the timer on returning back to the arrow, that way when moving the mouse over multiple contacts it will stay a hand and not an arrow.
In my code I was assuming it takes no cpu to change from the hand to the hand but I didn't test it, it may be required to put an 'if alread a hand dont do this' in there.
