HAS ANYONE TRIED CONNECTING TWO MICE TO THEIR COMPUTERS?

HAS ANYONE TRIED CONNECTING TWO MICE TO THEIR COMPUTERS?

IF SO, WAS THERE TWO ARROWS?

On linux yes. A mouse for each hand, and it was great.

No, it's two mice competing for one arrow.
I found it amusing as a kid.

shut up

>faggot nigger
Those are some very charged words, please refrain from using them in the future. Thanks.

two mice on the same arrow, at least on windblows

t. using two mice

I'm doing that right now. One is a USB mouse and one is a PS/2 mouse. The PS/2 mouse is a backup for when the USB craps out on the PC sometimes (old mobo).

On some games like Arma 2 you can make an ghetto steering wheel with a second optical mouse you can use to control steering for vehicles. The other mouse is the main mouse for everything else. (pic related)

very nice.

Imagine what you could achieve with 1/10 of this guy's dedication.

Pretty good, user.

my homemade fleshlight probably wouldn't have fallen apart after one use.

Used to do this to play 2player split screen in Settlers 2.

There's some games that support multiplayer with two mice.

There was a point when I was working that I used both a mouse and a trackpad. I used the trackpad for gestures and the mouse for actual mouse work. Now I mostly just use my keyboard and the mouse is mostly for games.

I am not sure what you are getting at, user.

Linux is a kernel. It does not even have a graphical interface which would be able to display a single cursor.

Linux is an operating system. Go eat some foot fruit.

No but... it is possible through secondary software.

When you connect a mouse to a laptop you technically have two mice now connected to the laptop (the touchpad).

mouses

Get raped and kill yourself, you retarded fucking faggot sack of nigger shit with down syndrome.

You hold the controller like a steering wheel, baka.

OP have you ever had the chance to do a bit of work with a laptop? Just wondering

based

I always roll with two mice; ones a kensington trackball for comfy browsing, while i have a gaymen mouse with lights and buttons all over to compete.

I'm not going to make fun of you. Good job, user! That was marvelously clever.

what a fucking beast.

These are honestly amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with a keyboard.

You can have two pointers quite easily: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multi-pointer_X
However, it doesn't really do much in most applications except letting each mouse's pointer move independently. For clicks and mouseover, most programs just recognize the most recently active pointer.

Lmao

thats fucking awesome user.

I highly respect you both, and will now be fashioning my own ghetto controllers

I can't even imagine what it'd be useful for. Maybe for a game that two people control different cursors.

Best timeline.

Both wired?

Which is a good thing

Put me in the screen cap with brainlets who never heard of diy arcade controllers

Absolutely fucking genius I gotta try this.

Hmm

If I remember correctly, you may need to do a custom setting for it in Arma 2. It would be a simple setting for the driving land vehicles or whatever.

Have you never had a laptop with a mouse connected? They just both control the pointer.

I tried it, both mice moved just one cursor arrow on screen.

HOLY SHIIIIIIITT

I used to feel clever when I swapped between controller and M+KB controls in GTA Online when on driving or on foot, respectively. This is the next level.

Oh that's fine I'll figure it out. Thanks for the tip.

Good stuff annon

Yeah, and thinkpads have three in this case.

Of course I find this out shortly after buying an actual wheel controller

I actually have that config in my bedroom, where both TV and desktop screen are connected to the same machine.
So it just ontrols the same mouse cursor, but it would be fun if I could have 2.

absolutely based /v/ eternally btfo

It'd be neat to have games that supported it.

Serf City supports it.

Oh right split screen too. A SHMUP might work. 1 person pilots the ship while every other player who has a mouse hooked to the PC controls an additional weapon that can fire from their side of the ship. More usb ports with mice = more guns to fire. Left or right mouse button for different mode of fire with mouse wheel to control power level/fire rate.

Have sex

When I was a kid I had Settlers 2 on my IBM-compatible 486 and you could use two mice at once and play split screen with a friend, each mouse controlling one of the two pointers on the screen.

Amazing

genius

i dont think i understand this one

You pull/push the white tube forwards/backwards under the mouse to simulate pulling/pushing a flight yolk for a flight video sim.

the controller is attached to a shaft over a mouse, when you turn the controller the mouse turns the car.

*yoke

Gamepad w/added gyro axis via the optical mouse sensor.

yes
no
but you can get software to do it

i think there has to be more than 1 method to do this.

first time faced this problem was when I tried to connect 2 crt lightguns. and i did get to make both work back then.

Actually, GNU/Linux is an operating system, or as I've taken to calling it, GNU+Linux

I don't even have to plug in a mouse and I already have two.
