(Redirected from Draft:Mouse Jiggler)

A mouse jiggler is a motion simulator device for a computer mouse. It works by nudging the computer mouse cursor into action to prevent the computer screensaver from activating.[1][2]

Mouse Jiggler Usb

Mouse jigglers are also known as mouse movers.[3] There are broadly two types of device:

  1. Mechanical mouse jigglers[4]
  2. Software driven mouse [1]


Mechanical mouse jigglers are small devices onto which a user places their computer mouse. They work by using a full rotating platform or rotating disc underneath the mouse. The movement is subtle but enough to move the user's cursor on their screen. This fools the computer into thinking it's being used and prevents the sleep mode or screensaver from activating. An example of a mechanical mouse mover is the Wee Shoogle as shown in image.

Software driven mouse movers install a programme on the user's machine that also moves the mouse cursor across the screen.[5]

Typical user types and use cases[edit]

Mouse jigglers are aimed at helping the following types of user:

  1. People working from home who have had their computer privacy settings locked by an administrator so that the screensaver kicks in after a short period of inactivity.
  2. People who need to keep their computer awake and stop it from falling asleep.
  3. PC Gamers who need to keep their computer awake during long gaming sessions so they don’t lose game data and progress.

Online monitoring of remote workers[edit]

The demand for mouse jigglers is being driven by employers or line managers indirectly monitoring their employees who are working from home.[6] Communcation applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Teams, Skype; as well as Slack show the working status for everyone wthin a group. The online status displays work in a traffic light system to show others within the team if someone is available, away, offline, or busy. If these applications are used through a computer desktop (instead of a mobile device), and the user doesn't interact wth their mouse, after a short period the status will display as inactive. In terms of the traffic light system, the available green status will change to inactive and orange. This is the mechanism that provides indirect monitoring of employees. Should someone appear to be inactive or away for a lengthy period of time, it could indicate that the individual is not working. This online monitoring of remote employees is causing a trust issue[7] and the employees are looking for ways to overcome the monitoring. Mouse jigglers enable users to keep their screen active while undertaking other tasks. This keeps the status set to available instead of showing a user to be inactive or away.

Mouse Jiggler is a small application that can fake mouse movements to prevent the screensaver, or another program activated by inactivity, from running. When the 'Enable jiggle' checkbox is checked, the program will visibly move the mouse pointer around until it is disabled again. A 'Zen mode' can be enabled to jiggle the mouse pointer invisibly.

great

by lucy ball on May 5, 2021

This one is really cool, it got installed in a click, some jigglers were asking for .net to be installed

by Sai on February 16, 2021

Great software it has it's uses

by Sosa on December 20, 2020

Cannot turn it off.

Screensavers Planet: If you've minimized Mouse Jiggler, it's probably sitting in the tray of your Windows task bar, at the bottom right of your screen. Click the mouse icon there to open it (might have the click the upward arrow first), then you can turn it off.

I used to play YouTube on the background to keep the Skype active, but now it doesn't work on Teams, and Teams also does not allow set up away time, which I think is pretty dumb. This tiny exe is pretty efficient and did the work!

Simple but great little utility

by Jeff on August 20, 2020

Great little piece of software. Use it everyday. One of my computers doesn't have the small green 'minimize' arrow but not a big deal.

by jrholmstead on August 12, 2020

running on my windows 10 1903 x64 without issue. Just unzip, drag and drop the .exe file in your programs directory, create a shortcut to it on your desktop, then run it. I use it for 'work' when i log into a virtual machine to bypass company settings to lockscreen when idle.. very ingenious.
