Default Two mice?

I'm wondering if i could use 2 mice on a single computer? Is there any sort of software/hardware that would allow me to do this?

Essentially, no.

You'd find you were really bad at using 2 pointers at once anyway.

Why hasen't someone written the software for it? I know nothing about writting software but I really couldn't see windows putting up that many crazy blocks to make such a thing impossible

They have, it's going to be used for letting two people work on one machine in offshore call centers. Imagine how much your job sucks now, then imagine how much more it would suck sharing a screen with someone at work.

For poker, you can use AHK scripts (BetPot & TableNavigator / UrgentTable) to play with both hands, I do sometimes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You won't get two pointers though, that is not easy on Windows.

But you do get for example a game-pad and a mouse that function independent of each other - if you have a brother that you can enslave to operate more tables for you, that is probably the way to go [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It wouldn’t be that hard to write the code for a second "fake" cursor on the screen if you were using a serial mouse. It might take me like a week if I was working on it full time. Though why not just use two computers and two separate accounts?
