I do believe there was a game which had an easter egg based on this. While the game controls were keyboard-based, it detected the erratic mouse moves to display something like "Don't whack your table!".


Now I wonder if mouse movement could be used as a side channel to hear sounds in a room... NSA have probably done it already.
