Sends a button press to a connected computer. A press is the equivalent of clicking and continuously holding the mouse button. A press is cancelled with Mouse.release().
Before using Mouse.press(), you need to start communication with Mouse.begin().
Mouse.press() defaults to a left button press.
WARNING: When you use the Mouse.press() command, the Arduino takes over your mouse! Make sure you have control before you use the command. A pushbutton to toggle the mouse control state is effective.
