> I don't think it's that simple. From my experience, if you are in certain non-Microsoft applications and the mouse is moving it will still set you as Away and won't set your status to Available until you click into an application it recognizes.

Is it just ignoring mouse movement, or actually monitoring interaction with the app it recognizes?

This mouse jiggler is programmable, and lets you insert keypresses and stuff into the script: https://www.amazon.com/WiebeTech-Programmable-Mouse-Jiggler-...

I'm no netsec expert but this type of programable usb devices sounds like a security risk specially on a company machine with access to an internal network.

IMHO, it's not any more of a security risk than a keyboard and mouse, which is literally what it is.
