Why Hardware Dongles Are Dangerous
Physical USB mouse jigglers are popular, but they are a massive security risk. When you plug a device into a corporate laptop, it leaves a permanent hardware ID trace in the Windows Registry or macOS System Information.
IT departments regularly audit these USB connection logs to identify unauthorized hardware. Move My Cursor is the perfect USB mouse jiggler alternative. It provides the exact same anti-sleep benefits without requiring you to plug anything into your machine, protecting both your USB ports and your employment status.

USB Alternative FAQs
How do IT departments catch USB jigglers?
Every USB device has a Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID). IT software scans your system logs for known jiggler IDs. Our web app avoids this entirely.
Is this as reliable as a physical mouse mover?
Yes. Our tool uses direct OS-level WakeLock requests, which are just as effective at preventing sleep mode as a physical hardware device.
Does it work if my USB ports are disabled by IT?
Absolutely. Many companies lock down USB ports for security reasons. Because our tool relies purely on your web browser, it works flawlessly on locked-down machines.
