OK thanks for the comments everyone...
Some answers:
1. No, I'm not cheating at a game.
2. No, it's not some sort of auto-clicker for the web.
3. The machine in question is VERY locked down. I cannot install any software onto it, and I cannot plug in any extra devices other than a single mouse and single keyboard (It doesn't even like my KVM switch). It's locked down for very good reason which under normal usage I agree with, however, I have specific development purposes that require this hack. I also WFH, so security of the machine is already taken care of. (If someone I don't know is in my house... I've got bigger problems.)
4. I only use the clicker while I am working and the machine is next to me - I never leave the machine unattended whilst logged in.
5. I've been using it for a few days now, and it's a godsend, It's made my current day job so much easier.
- 13of40 9y agoDo you think this programmable mouse jiggler might have done the trick? https://www.cru-inc.com/products/wiebetech/mouse_jiggler/ https://www.cru-inc.com/products/wiebetech/mouse_jiggler/ By itself it doesn't solve the problem of cutting back in with the mouse when you need to work, but there's probably a USB switch box for that.
- Jaruzel 9y agoThat might have worked. However I discovered that the machine wouldn't talk to my mouse or keyboard through my KVM switch (as it introduces a USB hub into the path), so my guess is that I wouldn't be able to switch from the jiggler to the real mouse.
- tokenizerrr 9y agoSo.. What is the machine doing? Is this like the button in lost?
