Rii Mouse Jiggler, Simulate Mouse Movement to Keep Computer Awaking

Necessary tool for the napping home worker.

IT Manager here. If your device is managed by a company MDM we typically know when you’re using these things. We know when you’re watching Youtube and Netflix on the device usually too. However, IT are far too busy doing other things to sit there looking at this info. Productivity tools and trackers are almost always brought in by HR, and investigations are usually instigated by HR rather than IT. It’s not really IT you have to worry about, we have better things to do. But we can produce all sorts of reports on your activity is asked. Check the acceptable usage policy for your device and the working from home agreement if you have one.

We run a start up script that sends device manager details and we compare against a baseline to spot these and similar.
Instant report to HR as breaks use of IT and many other rules.

Just open a YouTube video or use something like Jitbit macro recorder or AutoHotKey… no need to spend money (edited)

Thank me later

Dim objResult

Set objshell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
i = 0

Do While i = 0
objresult = objshell.sendkeys("{NUMLOCK}{NUMLOCK}")
Wscript.Sleep (30000)
loop

save as xxxx.vbs

will toggle numlock every 30 sec

To turn it off, open taskmanager and kill process "Microsoft ® Windows Based Script Host"

There is a major major security risk when you’re plugging in random USB devices into business related computers….




Also, I have bought a cheap random label printer from Amazon before and its drivers came with a virus…
So good luck explaining to your boss you just plugged in some device that claimed to be a mouse jittering device… (edited)

A wireless mouse in a pocket does similar. Also I've heard that putting your wireless mouse over a watch with a second hand works

For anyone worried that their company may detect a “2nd mouse” being plugged in (as some have said in the posts above) it’s possible to purchase a wireless mouse with built-in jiggler for a couple of quid more on Amazon, where it states it will only be identified as “mouse” on your computer:

Is there an option I can use without software? I work across multiple laptops and one takes 4-5 attempts to login and locate a connection everytime the display goes off... suggestions please??

No any need for that, I'll give you a free website you access and it will keep your pc awake.

Things like this and then WFH people wonder why the company wants them back in the offices

Unbelievable! How totally useless!





We need the USB-C version!

I just use a little background task called Caffeine which prevents the work PC being locked every couple of minutes while I'm busy doing work on the other PC.

Just use free software like jiggler. Simulates mouse movement. Very light on resources.

Open a PowerPoint presentation then leave it in the background. Prevents the computer going to sleep. You're welcome... *drops mic, walks away*

I'd steer clear of this. Even the most clueless IT departments can detect when an unfamiliar USB is plugged in, and with just a bit of investigation, figure out its intent. Several free alternatives are available, such as wedging the CTRL or spacebar keys down or playing a PowerPoint presentation.

Just run a PowerPoint presentation in a loop

I use an app called PreventTurnOff instead, which you can get as a portable version if you want. I just use it to circumvent the stupidly low sleep and hibernate settings

Been using this for years

So glad being a scripter means I can make this without spending money...


Or just download software which already does it!

Putting your money where your mouse is.

If you can work from home, you can be replaced, so praise the lord when you have to return to the office.

Better trick
Put an empty water glass over the space bar in a word document
Once it hits end of the line it will keep pinging and won’t go to sleep (edited)

Do not buy one of these. I have the exact same model and it bookmarked hundreds of links from P*rnhub - even put them in folders according to category. I had a hell of a time explaining it to IT.

Do some actual work you lazy buggers

We joke about a coworker who probably uses one of these. They're always active in teams but never respond.

Whereas I'm often away/offline when in front of my computer, got teams on my phone and answer straight away wherever possible. Far more effective to keep people guessing imo.

Glad I work for an employer that doesn't question my teams status, but then again, I'm not workshy.

I love the opportunity to WFH as saves travel time, travel costs & can do school run (in own time as work later to make up time).
Also like it that we have 2 core office days each week so allows for proper catchups & one to ones, etc
I don't know how people get away with not being productive at home. Surely their managers aware how long it takes to do X, Y & Z. Their performance should be managed instead of penalising others by getting everyone back into office fulltime. (edited)

If you have to buy this then you're in the wrong job.

Is it legit undetectable?

No need for this device, just install a piece of software called Caffeine it’s free and will stop your computer going in to sleep mode!

Put your mouse on top of your speaker while playing some tunes
