What is Mouse Jiggler?
Mouse Jiggler is a small hardware or software tool, which makes the computer feel that the mouse is still being used. Its purpose? Do not go to computer idle mode or sleep mode. This keeps the screen continuously on and the user appears “active” in the virtual work environment.
Hardware vs Software Jiggler – Which is in more trend?
- Hardware jiggler is like a USB stick that it moves the mouse itself when plugged.
- Software Jiggler is a program that sends time-to-time mouse movement or button press signal.
- Soham Parekh allegedly used both, so that many laptops remain active simultaneously.
Is this legal?
Technically mouse jiggler is not an illegal device. Many people use it inside the legal circles – such as to keep the computer on during downloading or to avoid the system lock during office presentation. But if it is used for work fraud, as Soham did, it raises questions on both ethical and ethical levels.
Why did this tool become the new enemy of tech managers?
Many companies have become dependent on mouse tracking and activity logs since the remote during Covid. In such a situation, tools like Mouse Jiggler made this system easy to cheat. Now this tool has been included in the top search on Google.
