It is kind of annoying every time when the computer goes into sleep, especially when you are in the middle of a PowerPoint presentation, or working from home but supposed to appear available online all the time. This simple device will wiggle (jiggle) your mouse for you every 5 minutes or so and keep your computer always awake. This device simply simulates the physical mouse movement, there's no App or driver to be installed, so it is 'stealth' and won't violate the company IT policy or expose yourself to dangerous software.
The Mouse Wiggler moves the sensor wheel in a back-and-forth motion every a few minutes to simulate the physical mouse movement, which has following advantages:
- Simulate the natural mouse movement with the human hand in a predictable pattern, and prevent the mouse cursor from 'walking away' and stuck at the edge of a screen. This is convenient when the user has a multiple or large screens.
- Preserve mouse battery. Mouse Wiggler wakes up the mouse by using its sensor wheel every a few minutes. The mouse will enter the power-save mode when is not triggered.
- Powered by any 5V USB power source, the USB cable is included. It can be powered by any standard USB power source, such as a computer, wall charger, or a battery power bank. It is energy efficient and consumes very little battery power similar to a computer mouse.
