I had on odd mental experience (dream?) of using a regular optical computer mouse to manipulate an image of a mouse on my screen, which was in turn used to manipulate the mouse of a smaller image, etc. etc.
There being no particular purpose for this image, I sought to create one, and decided it might
be an interesting challenge of manual dexterity to have the n^th mouse accomplish some useful activity.

Presumably, after not too many iterations, there would be a one-pixel cursor being manipulated around a 4-pixel screen. |

Perhaps there could be a slight time-lag in the response of each one? |

You could use the 'n'th mouse to manipulate an object-orientated drag-and-drop GUI builder tool to create a program that simulates a screen-based pointer that actually looks like a mouse which can be used to manipulate a GUI builder tool with which you could build an application which simulates a mouse being controlled by the simulated mouse on the level above and then use that simulation to build a lower-level simulation...... |

You could introduce randomized shake or attenuation on some of the levels to add to the challenge (I really want to have a go at this!) [+]

I've seen remote desktop software for android where you drag around a virtual mouse on the touch screen. I reckon if you linked up a real mouse to the android device this would get you one level of mouse recursion |
