The benefit of the mechanical jiggler is that its airgapped from the system. I work in a field that is very very very specific about what peripherals are plugged in and, more importantly, where theyre made. So no, its not a waste, because theres no shot to plug in an unauthorized custom coded outside device. IT will be notified, it will be an immediate firing, probably charges for leakage/espionage.
You can have the esp report itself as whatever device you want. If you already have a mouse that is allowed to be plugged in then you just have the esp report itself as that. It is a mouse at that point, the system will not know the difference.
Right, and when IT walks around to do literally anything and notices a weird microcontroller plugged in to a USB port that’s designed to announce itself as approved tech, there’s no way that will go badly.
Places with good IT departments might even flag your machine for having a weird device config with two of the same mouse to go do a visual inspection, just because it’s abnormal and a VERY common attack vector as literally your not smart suggestion is what everyone else tries to do to get around USB restrictions either for convenience or for malicious intent.
Yea, no.

yea… trying to outsmart IT… nothing can go wrong with that approach.
