nellie2 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 No... I don't think you can. You can connect two mice, but they will share the cursor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 No... I don't think you can. You can connect two mice, but they will share the cursor.Just being curious. If this is the case, what happens of you move one rodent to the left, and the other to the right? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pointer can only go in one direction or the other, or would it stay still if the rodents pulled in opposite directions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan2273 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 If you have 2 mice connected at the same time the one with the fastest response time will be the default one so if you move the two in opposite directions only the default one will register on the cursor.

AlanHo Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I used to have two mice permanently connected - one to the normal mouse port and the other was a wireless one with the control unit plugged into USB.The reason was that Acronis refused to recognise the wireless mouse - so a restore was impossible. The wired mouse was used for that purpose.I found that I could use either mouse with applications - if you moved both mice at the same time the wireless one usually won. However if one mouse was still - the other could be used OK.I now only have a wired mouse - but USB connected. The wireless one proved to be too temperamental (I think is was called Minnie rather than Mickey) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 You cannot have two cursors on the same windows environment. Even if you are connected remotely, the cursor is used by both host and remote. You would need to run a virtual machine, and connect to that virtual machine remotely. Even then, it would probably still use one cursor.Interesting question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I've had my computer once remote controlled for diagnosis. Funny how the mouse pointer moved around when the guy at the other side of the planet moved his mouse. Then I used my mouse to move the pointer to another place. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
