WiebeTech MJ-1 Mouse Jiggler
Introducing the WiebeTech MJ-1 Mouse Jiggler, a discreet, plug-and-play solution that keeps computers awake without installing any software. In today’s workflows, idle timers, sleep modes, and screen savers can interrupt long tasks, downloads, and uninterrupted demonstrations. The MJ-1 tackles this challenge by registering as a standard Human Interface Device (HID), letting it work with most systems as a true hardware solution. A single, easy-to-read LED counts the minutes of operation, giving you a clear, at-a-glance indication of activity without clutter or complicated setup. Compact and unobtrusive, the MJ-1 is designed for reliability in busy work environments—whether you’re running automated tests, giving a presentation, or keeping a kiosk alive while unattended. If you want a simple, effective way to prevent sleep modes and screen savers from kicking in, the MJ-1 Mouse Jiggler is the rugged, no-fuss answer you’ve been seeking.
- Preserve uptime with hassle-free activity: The MJ-1 creates consistent, hardware-level mouse activity to prevent idle timeouts, ensuring your computer does not go to sleep or activate a screen saver during crucial tasks. This means longer uninterrupted download and rendering times, smoother automated testing, and fewer interruptions during extended demonstrations. Because it works at the hardware level, it minimizes the risk of software conflicts and offers a reliable alternative when software-based solutions are not feasible.
- No software installation required: Unlike many utilities that require downloads or installation, the MJ-1 is a plug-and-play HID device. It presents itself to the operating system as a standard human interface device, so you don’t need to manage drivers or run installation wizards. This makes deployment quick for IT teams and effortless for individuals who need an immediate, hands-free solution—perfect for temporary workstations, on-site demonstrations, or shared kiosks.
- Clear LED indicator for easy monitoring: A compact LED provides a simple, visual readout of activity. As the MJ-1 works, the LED counts the number of minutes the device has been active, so you can verify operation at a glance. This helps you gauge how long the system has been kept awake and ensures you’re aware of ongoing activity without having to check software dashboards or task managers. The LED adds transparency to a discreet device designed to blend into any setup.
- HID-compliant, broad compatibility: Because the MJ-1 registers as a standard HID, it works with a wide range of computers and operating systems that support HID peripherals. This broad compatibility makes it a versatile choice for mixed environments—Windows, macOS, Linux, or other HID-friendly systems—without the need for platform-specific software or custom configurations. Its hardware-based approach means fewer compatibility headaches and a straightforward, dependable option for maintaining uptime across diverse devices.
- Portable, reliable design for everyday use: The MJ-1 is a compact, unobtrusive device that you can leave connected to a desk, a laptop, or a shared workstation. It doesn’t rely on network connections or power-hungry software, so it’s well-suited for travel, remote offices, classrooms, and demonstrations. Its simple, rugged design minimizes wear and tear, giving you a dependable tool to bridge gaps when you need continuous activity and uninterrupted performance—without adding complexity to your setup.
