Quote:@madscijr I have to ask. Why are you using 2 mice at once? LOL! My brain can barely handle 1 mouse at a time. This sounds fascinating and I'm really curious why you'd want to do this.

Ha! OK this is going to sound ridiculous, but my initial motivation was simple:
I want to make 4-player or 8-player Pong games, that people can play on the same computer where everyone gets a mouse! Tongue
Even a 2-player Pong game - why in the 40 years since PCs have had mouses, has no one ever done this?
How many Pong games have you seen where the players have to use a keyboard? What is this crap?? LOL
For paddle games to be playable you need a mouse!
It's long overdue! USB optical mice are cheap and plentiful.

Ahhhh! That makes sense!

That racing wheel idea is also clever. I'd love to see a blueprint or how to recipe for such a thing Wink

Good luck with your experiments.
