Mouse Jiggler: Complete Comparison
Detailed comparison between Slack Green and traditional mouse jigglers for maintaining active status. Features, security, cost, and effectiveness analyzed.
Thinking about a mouse jiggler? Here's what users report about this hardware option.
What It Is
A USB device that moves your cursor periodically. Costs around $25-35.
Common User Experiences
May help with:
- • Preventing computer sleep
- • System-wide idle prevention
Probably won't help with:
- • Slack's specific idle detection
- • Status going yellow after 10 minutes
Why Results Vary
Mouse jigglers prevent system sleep, but Slack seems to require actual interaction within its app. Moving the cursor alone may not be enough.
Alternatives Users Mention
- • Browser extensions (research security carefully)
- • Status messages to set expectations
- • Dedicated services for Slack presence
Bottom Line
Based on user feedback, mouse jigglers might not solve the Slack idle issue specifically. Consider what problem you're actually trying to solve.
