      Yeah. Plugging in a USB device that you bought online is a risk, unless you have enough knowhow to analyse it first on your machine running a wm.

      Safer mouse jigger is a small slow electric motor and some legos.

        How paranoid are you if you test every USB device? OK got a new memory stick or keyboard. Gotta test it!

              We have mandatory biannual courses with a quiz on how not to be you. 😆

              They really suck ass, but I see they have an actual function.

                We only get a quiz that badly teaches you the very basics of how to start a fire. A lesson I learnt when I was about 5. They call it fire safety but its mostly just what does a fire need to burn.

                Fuel, oxygen and an arsonist!

          Motor and legos should work fine. You just need to glue something on with a little more traction on it.

          There is also a powershell script you can use to press numlock on-off in set intervals, but that’s more visible to IT, if your company uses activity analysis.

            Unfortunately, ESP32s aren’t compatible with HID input. You’ll want an Arduino Nano. They can act as a direct input device.

            Though I wonder if you could get that to work as a BLE keyboard… That could be possible.

              Duckduckgo did give me a github page for a ESP32 bluetooth mouse jigger. Not sure if compatible with ESP32-C6 because of the RISC-V. Had some issues. Thats why they are “laying around”
