You might be interested in these things called mouse jigglers, they range from a tiny USB dongle that simulates a mouse, to motorised movement pads that you can place under a real mouse, which would be undetectable by software.
Just be careful using them at work as there are other methods to detect if someone is working or gaming the system and it could get you fired (source: fired someone for using one of these)
There has been one time I needed to keep a computer and stop the screen saver, I had no access to the settings but realized that if you just play a video in WMP or on YT the screen saver never activates, and you never need too install anything.

PS: You’re welcome. ;)

Yeah, the USB ones are an interesting thing, I’m sure writing up the code in an Arduino is trivial these days. Sometime like
#include jiggler.h mouse.jiggle(excitation,time);
I work with hardware that uses fans though, and a piece of paper flailing in the wind does a great job if I’m running a long test.
