"Mouse mover?" Like a whole wallplug-ass connected device that keeps you from timing out due to inactivity or other shenanigans by making your mouse move every now and then?

    Such an inefficient way to do mouse movements. You can literally use an esp32 or 8266 and put a program on it that tells it to act like a mouse, plug in your mouse and now your mouse moves itself!

    There’s some advantages to the manual method. I have done this, and I find that the software mouse shows up as multiple devices with typically an additional serial device for programming.

    If you’re doing this for something like a work computer, it’s preferable not to have unusual devices get logged.

    Remmina (Linux RDP client) has this builtin (called mouse_jitter), but it doesn't seem to work with more than one simultaneous connections. Still, it's a live saver if the remote system is configured to go into standby when idle.
