I am using Tor and my OS is Tails. I want to remain anonymous and prevent my real identity to be found out by similarities in behavior, like mouse movements.

For some purposes, I am using a mouse and for others a touch pad.

Now for this new identity that must be anonymous, having no link to my other identities, could it be bad to use the same touch pad I’m using for real world purposes which would lead to very similar or identical movement patterns?

If that would be a problem, I could get a new mouse for this.

Please note that for this new identity, my Tor settings are always on “Safest” which should deactivate JavaScript.

As far as I know, I don’t need to worry about this as long as JS is deactivated, but I just want to be sure.

I hope my threat model is detailed enough given that my question is quite specific. I have read the rules
