Having 2 mouses connected at once

[ShiversDan]

Hi,

I have a logitech g700 and im wanting to purchase the new razer naga 2014 for my mmo gaming! is it possible to keep both plugged in via usb at the same time and use one for web browsing (g700) and the other for gaming (naga)??

 

[.:SAmSuNG:.]

Mouses? I have had 2 plugged in at same time no problem before. Just controlled it with whatever mouse was being moved.

Mice! I have muliple mice connected up and it works no problem.

ok if i have 2 rats connected do i get 2 cursors though? and also will logitech software conflict with razer synapse?

 

[spoffle]

2 cursors?

:/

 

[ShiversDan]

yeah will it assign a mouse cursor to each individual mouse or just have one that you can move with either mouse?

If you plug two mice you, you will indeed get two cursors. This works really well if you have a left handed and a right handed mouse, that way you can have them on each side of the keyboard. It takes a while getting used to, but eventually you'll feel like Tom Cruise in Minority Report, but with mice instead of using hand motions. I'd practise learning to look at two different monitors at the same time and then you really will be the multitasking king!


Just kidding, you'll only get one cursor no matter how many mice are plugged in.

Liar, I have three plugged in, I operate one with my left foot for optimum triple screen multitasking.

I have three plugged in (trying to decide what mouse I prefer and for what) and have not had a single issue.

Sadly unlike shrooms I can't use my feet for triple control I have to use my left and right but cheeks and my right hand....

Sneakily plugging an extra mouse into a colleague's PC can be hilarious, I'd highly recommend it!

Especially if they sit opposite you!

It's not as stupid a question as you'd first think. I'm pretty sure that plugging two mice into an Amiga did produce two independent cursors, so it's a fair question is the OP is old enough to have been an Amiga user.

Sadly, Dan, as the others have said - Windows has always been one cursor irrespective of how many mice you have plugged in at any time.

Did this to a friend at work for about 2 weeks before he twigged. The guy sitting next to him would tip me off over IM when the ideal wiggle time was.

Yup,

Control it with your feet

Mice? Meeces? Mousii?

Multi cursor would be interesting, not sure how fast I'd get a headache like
