Wouldn’t it be great if you had a handy and independent tool to measure the total distance your mouse has ever traveled or the number of clicks it made in its life time.

keystrokes and what not. I experienced some bug with the keystroke measuring, it decreases sometimes automatically. Another great use of Mousotron is that it measures you system uptime, saves it and adds it up every time you restart. There you have your Total system uptime!!

There are a plenty other widgets for Google gadgets or Vista sidebar gadgets that measure you mouse statistics (Distance, clicks etc). But Google gadgets feels like something unnecessary loading up of RAM and the sidebar is like something useless blocking your view. After a few weeks of use I bet everyone feels like unloading sidebars from their desktops. Though they look good at first, but you start to realize glitches later on.

Mousotron is a must download. Minimises to system tray and helps to prevent taskbar clutter. It is free, small, takes up very less RAM in realtime and works great.
