Could you get away with detecting if the mouse has moved with the GetCursorPos API?

no, because the only input the user can do is a 'right mouse click'.

can i intercept that with an api call?

You can use GetAsyncKeyState

Code:

Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Long) As Integer

And the vKey constant for right mouse click is vbKeyRButton.

Don't forget to loop the function.
