    As an aside; there are USB devices which can act like keyboards and mice; some of which are very clever and intricate. You can use them to your advantage while using work-issued equipment; but keep in mind you’ll need to program it on your personal PC.

    You can definitely get creative with some of them and have them simulate the typing and clicking of a lot of different things at random intervals.
