Share
The business idea involves creating and selling mouse jiggler devices to circumvent employee monitoring software. These devices simulate computer activity, allowing users to appear active when they're not.
Key Points:
- Product: Mouse jiggler devices
- Simulates mouse movement
- Some models also simulate keyboard activity
- Target Market:
- Remote workers
- Employees subject to productivity monitoring software
- Competitive Advantage:
- Marketed as "undetectable"
- Customizable designs (e.g., USA flag)
- Sales Approach:
- Sold on platforms like Amazon
- Euphemistic marketing (e.g., "for anyone who spends long time at their computer")
- Market Size:
- 7% of monitored employees use such devices (likely higher)
- Legal/Ethical Considerations:
- Operates in a grey area
- Helps users potentially violate work agreements
- Example Company:
- Tech 8 USA (based in Austin, Texas)
- Sells devices for $30-$40
