We live in a day and age of remote workers. Although we are still required to get our work done, we find it convenient to do so from home.
Most people appreciate being able to work from home but that doesn’t mean it’s without its challenges. Stay-at-home workers are being monitored to ensure that they are actually working, and this can cause a little stress.
Thanks to a viral video and a unique tool known as a “mouse mover,” that paranoia is not quite so bad anymore. It was featured in the TikTok video we have for you below, with the creator sharing the following:
“If you work from home and you carry your laptop around with you all over the house because you are so paranoid that the 30 minutes you spend away from your desk during lunch your computer will go to ‘away,’ And then you will be fired because no one will think you’re doing any work, I have something to recommend.”
She goes on to talk about the mouse mover and how you can go to the bathroom without getting paranoid because it continues to move your mouse and keeps your computer from going to sleep.

They sometimes say that where there’s a will, there’s a way. I think that these mouse movers, which are small devices sometimes known as jugglers, fall into line with that axiom.
They are designed to move around the computer’s mouse without having to interact with the mouse personally. They aren’t expensive, but considering the fact that they can save your job, they are worth every penny.
You can also download software that will make it seem as if the mouse is moving.
In addition, some YouTube videos can be played on your smartphone with the mouse sitting on top to make it appear as if the mouse is moving.
