    Such an inefficient way to do mouse movements. You can literally use an esp32 or 8266 and put a program on it that tells it to act like a mouse, plug in your mouse and now your mouse moves itself!

      There’s some advantages to the manual method. I have done this, and I find that the software mouse shows up as multiple devices with typically an additional serial device for programming.

      If you’re doing this for something like a work computer, it’s preferable not to have unusual devices get logged.

        I am pretty sure you can program it to only be a single device, just don’t hit the reset button to force a bootloader.
