Hardware solution is the way. Then they need much bigger software to detect it.

Yep hardware that's not connected to your work device at all

But literally the admin can remote to your screen and watch the pointer jiggle if you're using a jiggler lol.

I never mentioned a jiggler. I was talking about better devices that move the device at random. They can move the mouse all over the screen, but an observer might be able to see that it was not normal activity if they watched it for long.
