Menu
Is there a way to accept input from more than one mouse separately? I'm interested in making a multi-user application and I thought it would be great if I could have 2 or more users holding wireless mice each interacting with the app individually with a separate mouse arrow.
Is this something I should try to farm out to some other application/driver/os_magic? or is there a library I can use to accomplish this? Language isn't a HUGE deal, but C, C++, and Python are preferrable.
Thanks :)

Found this multi-pointer toolkit for linux (it's actually a multi-pointer x server): http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/mpx/

This issue could be due to in-correct mouse settings. If you have connected an external mouse, I would suggest you to either disable your laptop touchpad from Device Manager or disconnect the external mouse and check.
Did you know that Windows can detect and use multiple keyboards and mice at the same time? Simply plug in your second mouse or keyboard via a USB port, or connect with Bluetooth. After giving Windows a moment to add the necessary drivers, you can type using either keyboard, or control the cursor with both mice.
You could try the Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Software Development Kit 1.1
or the new Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Software Development Kit 1.5
and the main Microsoft Multipoint site

Yes. I know of at least one program that does this, KidPad. I think it's written in Java and was developed by Juan Pablo Hourcade, now at the University of Iowa. You'd have to ask him how it was implemented.
