Once upon a time displays like theater view were called "10-foot displays."  How about "10-foot mouse"?  It's both descriptive and kind of funny too (it makes me imagine an enormous mutant mouse).

I thought of another one (although it's a pretty obvious portmanteau): "Re-mouse".  It's compact and communicates what the feature is doing.

Rattie Rat was used in California in 1997 to wire schools for Internet.

I like Remote Control Mouse, but could see myself voting for “JRodent” or “10-foot mouse” as mentioned by others above.
