[Version 1] Disable Mouse

[benownzu93]

Everyone like blinking lights :P, I was playing about with the keyboard LED's and I found that the mouse doesn't work for about half a second after you press the lock keys. I used Num Lock for this, because Caps lock would kinda mess up the typing.

void setup(){}
void loop(){
  numlock();
  delay(500);
}
void numlock(){
  Keyboard.set_key1(KEY_NUM_LOCK);
  Keyboard.send_now();
  Keyboard.set_key1(0);
  Keyboard.send_now();
}

let me know what you think.

--Edit--

just tried it in my XP box and it doesn't work. So IDK what systems it will work for

Ayee, nice idea here.

Also, you can just stick their mouse to the top left corner with:

void setup() { }
void loop() {
  while(1) {
    Mouse.move(-9000,-9000);
  }
}

You don't even need the while statement if this is the only program on the ducky

Won't the mouse still move a bit, the user will kinda fight with it.

Only one way to find out... lol.

That and this little processor is looping a small bit of code really really fast. With no delays in that small mouse move code, i doubt they could fight it. The only thing they could do is use the keyboard to navigate. So add a click in there and they cant navigate at all practically. To make Vista/7 users really angry, move mouse to bottom right corner of the screen to hide/ghost all windows, or click to minimize all :P
