Ahh, I thought you wanted one to navigate with and one to hack
: yes i know you cn have asd many inputs as you like in widows BUT they are all moving the same pointer! it would be great if you had 2 then my problem would be solved!(and now it is!)

: : Multiple mouses definitely work in windows. I have a ps/2 and a usb plugged in at the same time.
: : : Get a Mac - I can have multiple mice :)
: : : No, seriously, I think with USB mice you can have multiple mice to control the cursor. I know that with the Happ trackball interface, both the mouse and interface can work at the same time.
: : : Actually, since you're making rotary joysticks, you just need to hack the mouse for the "twist" function, right? So each joystick would only need one analog axis, so joystick 1 could be up/down on the mouse, and joystick two could be the left/right axis on the mouse...
: : : : I was planning to have 2 rotary optiacal joysticks (ikari, caliber 50)in my cabinet. i would strip ausbmouse and use it for the rotation. But then i realized that there can be only on mouse in windows. Does anyone have a better sugestion?
