Currently there is no ability to decalare a specific 'cursorShape' on a QQ2 Control (and for all its derivatives) . The only approach to do this is to place a HoverHandler on a Control, like so

Control {
    ...
    HoverHandler {
        cursorShape: Qt.PointingHandCursor
    }
}

This seems far from a perfect solution and causes issues like QTBUG-116289

The suggestion is to add 'cursorShape' property directly into Control component. so that it can be used appropriately, e.g. for the Button

Button {
    cursotShape: Qt.PointingHandCursor
    ...
}
