TLDR; Yo bro, I wanna duel wield mouses, halp plx, aware me.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to make it so you can have two mouse pointers working at the same time.
My situation is that I am on a laptop, and I want to be able to use my wireless mouse with my right hand, and my touch-pad mouse with my left hand, at the same time.
But also have different input from both. Meaning, two pointers, with separate input commands.
The desire for this use came the other day when I was playing a game on Kongregate, called 'I love Traffic'..
(http://www.kongregate.com/games/ArmorGames/i-love-traffic?acomplete=i love traffic)
Simple game, where you control traffic lights. The game is kinda easy, but in later levels (espesically the last one), it gets kinda ramped up in difficulty, and found that I wish I could have two pointers to click on two traffic lights at the same time.
I have two mice already (wireless mouse and a touchpad), so I could do this, I just need to learn how to set this up.
I already make use of my touchpad while playing Tibia (right hand on arrow keys on the numpad, and my left on the touchpad), but that wasn't having the pointer work separately.
I could think of various other reasons as to 'why' I'd want this set up, but as you lot are all gamers yourselves, I am sure you can think up reasons as well.
I tried using Mr Google to come to find information on how to do this, but didn't come up with anything of real use.
Anyone here have any ideas on how to do this?
