I'm not sure if this actually a problem or not, but I noticed I have multiple instances of HID devices, keyboards and mice in my Windows 7 Device manager. Any advice? Thank you!

And my HID sub-menu is somewhat similar to yours, but I'm not gonna type it all out, exactly.

There is only one mouse Cursor. All Mouses connected to the computer move that one. Indeed I have a MousePad and Trackball Human Interface Device wich works like a Mouse , though the Touchpad is usally disabeled to easy to hit when typing and not nessesary. There is Multitouch but this is not about having more then one cursor, but having a wider range of things gestures to detect beside "Move Cursor" and MouseClick.
The mouse actions from all users are executed sequentially so no ones action can overlap with another ones. The moment it needs to excute some users action it uses the actuall Host PC Mouse for that. It has full control over what the users see of the Host PC, so it can draw as many cursors as it likes. There is still going to be only one Cursor on the Host PC. Because windows does not support more then one MouseCursor or more then one Window having keyboard Focus.
You can have multiple mouse devices connected to your PC, and, in code, you can tell them apart. But the Windows operating system will only display one mouse pointer -- all pointer devices connected to the system will move that same pointer. But, you can write your own software let's say, for example, a full-screen Direct3D game in which you render multiple mouse pointers manually, each one corresponding to a different physical mouse device.
Read this article to see some other examples. Dear Wyck, I've already read that article before, and like i said earlier i have wrote a program that creates cursors for each mice that connected to the PC via RawInput, But I don't know why? You need to intercept raw mouse input from the actuall device. I never used hooks, but afaik they start on the OS level wich is a bit to far for your requirements. You don't don't freeze the globale mosue cursor.
You make it in visible and have to use it for all actions of the "virtual" mouse cursors that have any effect on the Desktop. You only ever have that one invisible cursor to affect the applications, the start menu, drag windows, etc. The other mouse cursors are smoke and mirrors. You can't for example do anything interactive like click or drag with one mouse, while the other does something interactive like click or drag. You can still move them though you might run into issues with tooltips and other mouse-over related thing.
Edit: You noticed that in the demo animation for Multimouse , only one user was actually interacting with the desktop at a time? That is an absolute requirement. The displayed position of the cursors are just empty drawings to the GPU. From the Preferences window, you can change pointer color and size, invert axis, swap or disable buttons, double click timeout, and display selection. This last option is useful because you can restrict the mouse cursor to only appear on specific monitors of a multi monitor setup.
Then scan for hardware changes or reconnect the devices. For more information how to do this, refer to the support article on the Pluralinput website. Download Pluralinput. They allow two users to have two separate desktops and a separate mouse and keyboard to control each, but from a single computer. That makes it useful to open the virtual machine full screen on a second monitor and it will act as a separate PC with its own mouse and keyboard.
Capturing a mouse to be used exclusively in VirtualBox is very easy and just a couple of clicks. Start the virtual machine, open the Devices menu, highlight USB and click on the mouse or keyboard to be captured. Alternatively, right click the USB icon at the bottom of the window and select the input device.
Next time the virtual machine is started, the mouse will automatically connect to the guest operating system. Download VirtualBox. This option is greyed out if the virtual machine is not powered off. Bluetooth is also an option if you have a Bluetooth keyboard. This option works well with dual input devices like the Logitech K Wireless Touch Keyboard as the keyboard and touchpad will both connect to the guest operating system by enabling just one device Logitech USB Receiver.
The Connect option will change to Disconnect if you want to do the reverse. You will have to attach it manually each time the virtual OS boots up. Does anyone know any other software similar to Pluralinput?? Wait hold on a sec i mean like when your mouse moves there are tons of other mouses following that mouse.
I want to use 2 mouses as I use 2 hands. PC is too limited. You tried all the programs on this page and none of them worked, but you tried Mousemux and it worked perfectly? I remember there was a program that allowed to use 2 mouse, 2 keyboards, 2 screens and 2 soundcards in the same PC and each one will work on the pre-established group so the sound of one card will only work on the programs being displayed on that screen asigned for that group.
Ian: Thanks. Thanks also to RaymondCC for all the great articles over the years. Been lurking for a looooooong time. The main site has a download button right in the center of the page which pops up a small window to download the file. So cool to see Teamplayer is still getting love. I was the lead engineer at the time and did most of the work on it. You can download it at mousemux. Hello Unfortunately, the install was halted by Awast.
Can you confirm this is a false positive? Thank you for picking up where Teamplayer left off, just installed your beta and its awesome! Exactly what I was looking for. It allows you to swap settings automatically, swap hands, and use multiple cursors.
You could try that. Gibster Thank you so much for both programs. These allow my husband and me to spend time together without buying another computer. Tried version 2 and 4 team player. Unable to get LBM to work on any set of mice. Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the article.
I just gave this a try. It seems when you have multiple monitors it will not allow the mouse pointers to leave the primary screen. With the advent of touch displays a lot of apps are becoming multi-touch so it only makes sense that an it be possible to use dual mouse pointers in the absence of a touch-screen display. I personally have found a need for this while using an Android emulator on windows 7.
Thank you.
