2 Mouse Pointers

jaketerminate · 01-02-2008, 06:29 AM

Is there any way at all to get two mouse pointers on the screen at the same time? Ive been wanting to do this for a while but havent found a way how. It seems pointless to do, but i think it would be pretty usefull.

ive been looking for the same thing but I dont think there is a way , ive spent a couple weeks on and off searching and have came up with nothing , allot of people think its crazy and people think the computers cant handle it but when you have 2 or more monitors hooked up to your pc and have a quad core processesor with 8 gb memory , believe me it can handle two mice and two pointers with plenty of power to spare , and there has been several times when ive needed 2 pointers like when i was playing a game a instant message came up on the other monitor and i realized my pointer couldnt leave the game it was locked in the game even when i paused the game it wouldnt move to the other monitor , thats only one example of many

LOL what would be the point of having 2 mouse pointers? You can only move one mouse at a time. Thanks for the laugh today.

I know a way. And it can be done so that there is no lag created by the second mouse at all - in fact your gaming wont be affected by your browsing in any way - here's what you do: build a second PC and then connect one of the monitors to it. Just use the first system for gaming and the other for IM.

Wow, such an old post (one of my first)

thanks for the help though.

Alcohol. Both pointers track the same way, unfortunately. And you're not old enough.

Double-fisting mice might be useful.

Digg is down right now, but there is also this digg.com (Out of Service) which might be worth checking out once digg is back up.
