Connecting 2 mice?

LukeSkope · Jun 20, 2006

Actually, I'd like to have a mouse and a tablet connected and functioning at the same time, is there any way to do this??

edit> both work while connected, but I would like them split into two seperate cursors.

Thanks
Luke

Yes, you can only have one cursor.

OK, since I've been poking around a bit on the net, as far as OSX goes you are correct. It is unfortunate because I found a video of 2 cursers being used simultaniously (sp?) on a Windows computer. So it can be done, it just hasn't been done on a Mac yet.

Thanks for the responses.

That might be like Remote Assistance on MSN or something

Yes, more than likely the Windows one was using some remote access software. The win32 API only supports one cursor, as does the X specification (for X11 and X.org) and Mac OS X.

Out of curiosity, what is wrong with just having one cursor?
