Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After reading the reviews I bought this product and also a different model. The video I attached really says it all. I have several wireless Logitech mouses that I use daily. I bought them at Walmart, so there must be millions of these in use. They work very well and are extremely light weight. The product arrived on time and is well packaged. Easy to set up. Has an on/off switch. It has a power cord but unfortunately it does not have the power supply/plug. At this price point it should include its own power supply. The concept is simple. Place your mouse in the tray and the spinning wheel moves your mouse cursor around so your screen does not time out. To be fair, the product does move the mouse cursor and does keep the computer ‘awake’. But just barely. If you are just trying to keep your personal computer from timing out then this will be perfect for you. But, if you are like most of us who are trying to get around the stringent controls of your employers IT department, then this device will likely get you in trouble. Here is where it fails miserably. First, the interval between movement of the disc is not random. It happens precisely every 18-20 seconds. And when it does move, it moves the exact same tiny amount. So any legitimate IT department is quickly going to flag this as a mouse mover device. As you can see in the video, the cursor only moves 1-2 inches on the screen. And then the next movement is 1-2 inches back across the same path. So it never leaves the same 2x2 inch square on your screen. Again, any IT department will quickly flag this fake movement. Also, the motor is not strong enough and the spinning disc is not large enough to actually move the mouse inside the tray. This is why the cursor movement goes back and forth across the same small path instead of seeming random. And as I mentioned, my wireless mouse is about as light as it can be. This device not only needs to have a random cycle time, but it needs to be more often. Most workers don't take constant 20 second breaks between a two second movement of the mouse. That is an eternity to wait. In contrast, the other device I purchased from Amazon works well. You can see in the second half of the video I posted that it has a strong motor and a large disc that actually moves the mouse around. This causes the cursor to move long distances and in many different directions. I have worked in IT for two large companies for 20 years now. My guess is that this device will be quickly flagged as it is not going to fool anyone. I will be keeping the second device but returning this particular Mouse Mover product.
