Two mice.

**Eltocliousus** · #1 08-03-2008, 08:50 PM

My computer has dual monitors and sometimes my friend likes to come round and play games with me, unfortunatly when playing online games like WoW, not having two seperate computers we cannot play together.

However.

After thinking, i can load World of warcraft twice on my computer, one on each monitor but i cannot however play them at the same time.

I have another mouse i can use but i cannot find a program or anything that will let me have two mice on the same computer. Is there a way?

I don't think it is possible to have two mice that do what you want them to because you can't have two pointers on the screen at the same time as far as I know in Windows.

Ive searched for software and programs that could do this and found nothing, I'm not sure its possible mate.

What about dual screen, is it possible to split the computer into two using monitors?

doubt it I've never seen anything that allows 2 mice to be used at the same time on 1 machine even with dual screen you might want to ask Chris pirillo hes on youtube.

you can have two mouses but they move the same pointer

i have built a pc into my civic and have a screen in the dash and one in the boot with 2 keyboard one up front and one in the back with 2 mice :) but like all you lot say i really dont think you could get 2 cursers on the screen

The only thing I can think of would be a VM but I don't think that would work either somehow...

I doubt whether it could be achieved either.
Clearly you can have more than 1 mouse and keyboard, but if you are loading the same program twice on the same PC, each will operate independantly of each other, it will only be possible to play one or the other, not both simultaneously and the mouse or keyboard will have the same restriction.
