Module windows-serialmouse

Microsoft Windows sometimes it detects other serial devices as a serial mouse. If the device is connected to a real TIA-232 port or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) to TIA-232 adapter. Some USB connected devices, e.g. GPS receivers, have USB to TIA-232 convertors built right into the device. This Viam module disables the serial mouse if Windows has re-enabled it.
