Pros
1. Prevents Screen Saver: Wiggler keeps the mouse cursor active, ensuring screen savers or sleep mode do not interrupt work during periods of inactivity.
2. Simulates Activity: Useful for maintaining the status of online presence on various platforms by mimicking user interaction with the cursor.
3. No Installation Needed: Wiggler is a portable app, eliminating the need for installation and allowing it to run from any location on your PC or from external media.
Cons
1. Lack of Advanced Features: Wiggler is a basic tool that primarily moves the mouse cursor at set intervals. It lacks advanced options such as customizable paths, gesture controls, or the ability to automate complex tasks beyond simply keeping the screen active.
2. Potential Security Risk: Constant mouse movement might interfere with or be detected by security software as suspicious activity, raising false alarms. Users in a secure corporate environment might face issues with their IT policies regarding unauthorized software.
3. Reduced Productivity: If not properly configured, the perpetual mouse movement could disrupt workflows, accidentally clicking on things or preventing the computer from entering sleep mode when genuinely idle, potentially leading to increased power consumption.
