Description

First of all, thanks for the library!

When using the unstyled option with classnames, it's not possible to change the mouse pointer due to specificity issues.

Research direction

Start with example.js in the linked CodeSandbox and reproduce the cursor behavior with the unstyled option and classnames. Trace how the relevant styles are applied and identify why the specificity prevents the pointer from changing. Done means a consumer can change the mouse cursor in this configuration without losing the unstyled behavior.
