Mouse Movement¶
The mouse movement feature automatically moves your cursor across the screen at configurable intervals. This is the most commonly used feature, often used to simulate activity and prevent idle timeouts.
Movement Types¶
Random Movement¶
The cursor moves to random positions on the screen. Each movement is unpredictable, making it appear like natural human activity.
Settings:
- Interval -- Time between movements (1 second to 60 minutes)
- Speed -- How quickly the cursor moves to the new position (instant, slow, or natural)
- Screen area -- Limit movement to a specific region or use the entire screen
Fixed Pattern Movement¶
The cursor follows a predefined path, moving between specific coordinates in sequence.
Settings:
- Coordinates -- Define waypoints by clicking on screen positions or entering X,Y values
- Interval -- Time between each waypoint
- Loop -- Repeat the pattern continuously or stop after one cycle
Circular Movement¶
The cursor moves in a circular or elliptical pattern around a center point.
Settings:
- Center point -- The center of the circular path
- Radius -- Size of the circle
- Speed -- How fast the cursor orbits
Configuring Mouse Movement¶
- Select Mouse Movement from the action list.
- Choose a movement type (Random, Fixed, or Circular).
- Set the interval and other parameters.
- Click Start or press the hotkey to begin.
Movement Speed Options¶
| Speed | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Instant | Cursor jumps to the new position immediately |
| Slow | Cursor glides smoothly to the new position |
| Natural | Cursor moves with slight acceleration and deceleration, mimicking human movement |
Natural Movement
For the most realistic simulation of human activity, use Natural speed with Random movement type and an interval of 30-90 seconds.
Use Cases¶
- Prevent idle timeout -- Keep the computer active during long downloads or processes
- Maintain online status -- Stay "available" in messaging applications
- Avoid screen lock -- Prevent the screensaver or lock screen from activating
- Testing -- Simulate mouse input for software testing
