2 mouses in a Desktop PC controlled indepentantly

[siege2]

as title, I'am wanting to use 2 mouses! for control off say Straterdy games, sharing main resources off game, but to play as one player and 2 people control there individual resources shared, I will need 2 mice,

Iam on Vista, dont use linux, not a mac user but love the way they can control 2 mice.

Mice. Not mouses.

If you mean two pointers, I suspect the answer is 100% no.

 

[rjk]

its a no go

I think you'll find that the two mice just control the same pointer.

I spent a few hours one evening reading up on this I could only find info on doing this on very old operating systems, only seams a lot off programming to do so.

Why cant this be don't done on a PC, "2 mice to independent mouse pointers, each mice controlled by 2 individuals on one PC!...

It quite possibly can be done but it would be a very very limited market, aside from yourself I've never heard of anyone wanting such a thing.

would be useful for dual monitor setups, one in game one at desktop for example.

It is possible but only if the specific game supports it. I've only ever heard of one though - IIRC it was one of the early Settlers games where you could use two mice in split-screen mode.

exactly what I have a dell 27inch and a 32inch Samsung tft TV and it would be ideal with TA springs an freewhere alternative to TA Total Annihalation.

1 monitor for one halve off allocated land, person one etc the other halve off allocated land for the second person monitor 2

using 2 mice is great for anoying others, but i can't see any useful uses as if one hand is less stable then the other and that would result in less accuracy

 

[Devil_Spawn]

you can set up a second mouse but it wont work for games

Last time I remember using this stuff was when playing settlers 1 on amiga 500.

I don't think you can do that anymore .

Haha, i remember playing Settlers 2 like this with a mate !

The computer says no
