GamerJiggler

Tired of getting kicked out of your video games because you had something to do… IN REAL LIFE?

Here’s the answer: GamerJiggler. Built by gamers, FOR gamers.

Keep Teams, Discord, Slack and any presence-tracker active while you’re deep in Star Citizen, DCS or Elden Ring. Without breaking the camera. Without waking the wrong app. Without cooking your OLED.

Keep your game alive. Even when you’re not in it.

Star Citizen kicks you to the menu after 15 minutes idle. EVE Online drops your session. Helldivers 2 ditches your squad. Alt-tab to your browser for two minutes and you’re re-queuing for ten. GamerJiggler keeps the game ticking for you: every cycle it briefly focuses the game, gives it a barely-visible nudge inside its window, and snaps right back to where you were.

Multi-target with per-app idle clocks — Star Citizen, Discord and Teams each tracked separately.

Auto-rehook when the game closes & relaunches — no popup, no babysitting.

Soft-degrade to global while the game isn’t running, with a quiet status badge.

Returns focus to your previous app the instant the shake completes — minimum disruption.

Spare your OLED. Without sleeping your apps.

The hidden cost of mouse jigglers: your monitors never turn off either. BlackScreener fixes that by blacking every screen after N seconds of real inactivity — and the jiggler’s synthesized motion is filtered out, so it never resets the timer or wakes the blackout.

Pure-black overlay on every monitor, exact-pixel positioning.

Wakes only on a real keypress — synthesized input is ignored end-to-end.

Keyboard, gamepad & HOTAS watched. Mouse optional, with drift threshold.

One shared input hook with the jiggler. No double-cost, no conflict.

More of what makes it work

Truly natural jiggle

Multiple movement patterns (random, circular, figure-8, square, pendulum), configurable shake duration, micro-movements per pulse, and randomness strength. It looks like a hand — not a metronome.

Game-compatible

Relative SendInput deltas with a telescoping return-to-zero every pulse: the in-game camera ends each cycle exactly where it started. Tested in Star Citizen, DCS, Elite Dangerous, Elden Ring.

Xbox

DualSense

Virpil

VKB

Thrustmaster

Logitech G

Pedals

HOTAS & joystick aware

XInput and DirectInput (winmm). Detects every standard gamepad plus the HOTAS / yoke / pedals ecosystem — with a per-stick rest baseline so drift never registers as activity.

↷

Skip-once, not reset-perpetual

Touch the mouse during a cycle and only the next pulse is skipped — not the whole countdown. The timer stays predictable instead of hanging forever in a loop.

Ctrl+ Shift+ J

Global hotkey

Toggle the jiggler from anywhere — even mid-fullscreen game. Rebindable, plus a second hotkey for instant black-out (default Ctrl + Shift + B).

Tray state at a glance

Tray + compact + on-top

A 4-color tray icon tells you what GamerJiggler is doing without opening it. Compact mode shrinks the window to a status pill. Always-on-top pin if you want a HUD.

Two engines. One shared hook.

The jiggler stamps its own SendInput with a self-marker. The low-level hook filters that marker end-to-end. So the jiggler can never wake the blackout, never resets the idle timer, never registers as user input anywhere. Both features compose cleanly by design.

Real input

Keyboard, mouse, gamepad, HOTAS axes. Captured by a single low-level hook installed once at startup.

Injected input filtered

Anything carrying our SelfInjectMarker or the OS LLMHF_INJECTED flag is ignored.

Two consumers

Jiggler reads timestamps for skip detection. BlackScreener reads per-category timestamps for idle counting.

Zero conflict

Jiggle in Teams, OLED stays dark. Move mouse in browser, BlackScreener idle ticks down anyway. Touch a real key, blackout dismisses — without leaking that key to the app underneath.
