Arduino-Based Mouse Jiggler
MAUS is a compact Arduino-based device that simulates mouse movements to prevent screensavers and keep your computer active. Small, fun, and fully programmable, it also adds a splash of RGB flair to your workspace! ✨
MAUS generates small, fake mouse movements (1 pixel up and down) to keep your computer active and disable screensavers.
Perfect for automation without interaction and a little ambient light fun! 💡
