By using native bindings to IOKit we can talk directly with the Mouse/Touchpad/Touchscreen. We can talk directly with the hardware so this should work regardless of which state the rest of the system is in.
const mouseListener = require('osx-mouselistener');
mouseListener.listen((button) => {
console.log(`User clicked button: ${button}`);
});Writes click information to console
via npm
npm install osx-mouselistener
Sorry, I didn't feel like it. It's a POC
When I was writing a osx-keylogger POC I was intrigued by the possibility of listening for mouse clicks. Would it be easier? I was determined to find out.
