Hey Giles!
That's a cool and unique looking device. Not seen something like that before. That device would give the correct effect too. 

Have you used one of these "stress" savers ;) - can it be trusted?
Not used it myself, previous colleagues have (in large secure corporate environments), and it does do what it says - it just acts like a wobbly mouse - there is more involved sofware for them to program to automate repetitive tasks (e.g. click on a button at a specific place on the screen every so interval). Not looked into it that much (I don't do desktop support anymore).

Hi Folks.
Wondering if anyone out there can point me in the direction of a very cheap USB robotic arm. It is simply required to move a stylus over a touchscreen once a minute to stop the computer / vdi logging out.
Looking for the simplest and cheapest thing going - will also take second hand stuff. 

Many Thanks!
Gosh, sounds pretty involved, does the touchscreen device have a USB port of its own and support a USB mouse, I know computer support staff use these (Mouse Jiggler MJ3):

They prevent screensavers/screen-locks from activating so that staff can leave their laptops with IT Support staff and not having to leave their password on a post-it note behind in case the laptop goes to sleep and locks, requiring the password to unlock.
