Interesting.  Strange, too - why a left mouse button, how do they keep the
mouse pointer on target, and why not use local automation software like
AutoHotKey?  How sensitive is it to false clicks?

I'd start with a "Teensy" board, which can run Arduino and emulate a mouse.
I'd hook that up to a pair of FRS radio handsets (cheap 'n' sleazy) or ISM
band radio modems (profe$$ional.)

Crazy GUI people...

This has a strong scent of "you're doing it wrong",
