Yes! The Wee Shoogle is not a software application and does not have any software which will be installed on your machine, the Micro USB cable provided is simply used to power the device. The Wee Shoogle can be powered using a USB port on your computer or a USB wall plug like the one you may use to charge your mobile phone.
Place your wired or wireless mouse device on top of the Wee Shoogle, switch it on and the base plate will begin to rotate very slowly beneath your mouse. Within half a rotation the mouse trap will catch your mouse device and lock it into position whilst the base plate continues to rotate beneath it which makes the computer register that your machine is still in use. The pattern on the base plate creates random mouse movements to help prevent detection from mouse tracking software.
