CRU WiebeTech Programmable Mouse Jiggler MJ-3 (Single Unit)

It works. Just plug in to the USB and you wont see the screen saver appear.

I use this device to keep my computers awake to complete crucial tasks, like updating software or operating systems. It also helps to prevent the computer from getting locked when software may get interrupted by the OS locking. Keep in mind this should only be used in a safe place, and if it is used on a laptop, the laptop should be locked to a physical object so it cannot be removed from the premise. Otherwise, someone could easily steal the device and access your information.

This thing is great. Just plug it in a USB port and it does it’s thing. Great for keeping your company computer awake when you can’t edit the settings due to administrator control.

Must have if your computer automatically closes if you do not continue to use. Work flawlessly and you dont even know that it is doing its job

Perfectly suited for those long document review sessions or web conferences.

This device, which could be called a “programmable mouse and keyboard emulator” or programmable keyboard/mouse playback device, has enhanced productivity significantly without loss of corporate security, due to judicious use of it in the context of the workplace. I offer below some supplemental information about this great product. First, many reviews have asked what is wrong with a downloadable software solution instead of this, in order to save money? Well if corporate policy allows that, theres nothing wrong with a software solution. This device happens to masquerade as a standard, HID-compliant USB mouse (and can function as a keyboard as well, see below for details.) It acts as and is seen as, and in fact is, an additional real mouse, nudging the mouse cursor every few seconds to every few minutes, depending on how you program it. I think the default makes it move 8 pixels to the left and then 8 pixels to the right every 60 seconds but you can program the MJ-3 model to vary those actions. So when corporate policy is poorly designed and out of touch with the needs of the corporate workers, a scenario that is unfortunately not uncommon in the least, one can use ones free will to exercise judicious use of workplace time, while not forgetting the security concerns that invoked that corporate policy in the first place - for instance, always log off when leaving the workstation (in Windows that can be quickly done with a windows key-L command.) Even if this pseudo mouse is connected and running for convenience reasons. A little about programming the device (this only applies to the MJ-3, of course. The MJ-1, with a larger handle, easier to grasp, is not programmable and is a great product as well. I will explain my preference on this below as well.) To download the programming application for the MJ-3 (programmable version of the Mouse Jiggler) go to www.cru-inc.com/mj3 (which is listed on the package when it arrives) and this requires admin privileges to install. However, you can install this at home and program the mouse at home and then take the newly programmed mouse to work and it works as instructed. The program gives you the ability to enter any instruction in programming mode, such as to flash the device’s LED any number of times upon first plugging it in (to demonstrate that it’s active), and then to move the mouse a specified number of pixels (up, down, left or right) and then wait (delay) a certain number of seconds, up to 255 seconds per instruction. Or you can do other things like enter any keyboard character you want and then delay. At any point you can flash the LED a certain (any one of 3) colors a given number of times (solid, flashing or once), the purpose of which is to signal to the user that the mouse is active and jiggling. You can save the programs you created on your hard drive and reload them to program other MJ-3s youve bought, and upload those instructions to the new mouse jigglers. Works like a charm! I like the MJ-3 better than the MJ-1 because its smaller, doesnt protrude where it can be knocked off or bent if your knee bumps it (of course one could put that into the back of the computer without that risk.) Others who need to pull the thing out at the end of the workday may prefer the MJ-1 because it has a larger handle, easier to grasp when removing. (Another idea to solve that problem is to buy a USB hub with individual on/off switches for its attached devices, such as the

Works as expected when working from home. It keeps the computer from going into sleep mode and maintains your online status as Active.

This is exactly what I needed. It keeps my PC active, does not interfere with my work, and being so compact, I never have to remove it from my laptops USB port.

Good value. Works like a charm!

works great to keep the computer from going into standby, saves lots of password-entering time!
