OT: I need to find...

a program/application or whatever that will allow me to have 2 mouse inputs on the screen. I need to have 2 mouse pointers on the screen - is this possible?

TIA

LOL,

** add **, you can have two mice working but not two pointers, I guess. My lappy got this when I installed new cordless mouse and the mouse pad still work at the same time. They both share the same pointer.

Even Johnnie couldn't handle that one

Yeah, same thing as having a USB and PS/2 mouse connected. Both work but as a single pointer.

Why? Well lets imagine how much more work I could get done doing my CAD drawings Sometimes at work my right hand gets tired from doing all the work and I switch over to the left side. I figure that since I am pretty good at mousing with my left hand - it'd be helpful to have dual pointers. one to use in the menu bars and such and the other on the drawing field.

Maybe I'm just weird But I swear it'd be really cool

take a gander

This is the functionality I am looking for(maybe a bit more actually with the mouse) but without the $300-500 pricetag:Q

I don't think you'll be getting that with any ordinary mouse. The functionality you require would need proprietary drivers for individual CAD and 3D applications, because neither Windows nor X Window System can do this (I'm not sure about MacOS X). That (or another product of similar functionality and price) is your only option.

Actually I don't want their kind of functionality - as I could easily hook up a joystick and integrate it via lisp or what not. One of the old CAD guys had a joystick rigged up to use in autocad - it wouldn't be too tough supposedly. But again - that isn't what i want. I want two pointers I don't do alot of 3D so those expensive toys are worthless to me. I need something to be a second selection tool.
