On linux yes. A mouse for each hand, and it was great.

No, it's two mice competing for one arrow.
I found it amusing as a kid.

two mice on the same arrow, at least on windblows

t. using two mice

>>71065653
I'm doing that right now. One is a USB mouse and one is a PS/2 mouse. The PS/2 mouse is a backup for when the USB craps out on the PC sometimes (old mobo).

On some games like Arma 2 you can make an ghetto steering wheel with a second optical mouse you can use to control steering for vehicles. The other mouse is the main mouse for everything else. (pic related)

Pretty good, anon.

>>71068309
my homemade fleshlight probably wouldn't have fallen apart after one use.

Used to do this to play 2player split screen in Settlers 2.

>>71065653
There's some games that support multiplayer with two mice.

>>71065653
There was a point when I was working that I used both a mouse and a trackpad. I used the trackpad for gestures and the mouse for actual mouse work. Now I mostly just use my keyboard and the mouse is mostly for games.

Linux is a kernel. It does not even have a graphical interface which would be able to display a single cursor.

>>71068956
Linux is an operating system. Go eat some foot fruit.

>>71065653
No but... it is possible through secondary software.

When you connect a mouse to a laptop you technically have two mice now connected to the laptop (the touchpad).

I always roll with two mice; ones a kensington trackball for comfy browsing, while i have a gaymen mouse with lights and buttons all over to compete.

>>71067290
I'm not going to make fun of you. Good job, anon! That was marvelously clever.

>>71067290
what a fucking beast.

>>71067290
>>71068354
These are honestly amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with a keyboard.

You can have two pointers quite easily: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multi-pointer_X
However, it doesn't really do much in most applications except letting each mouse's pointer move independently. For clicks and mouseover, most programs just recognize the most recently active pointer.

>>71067290
Lmao

>>71067290
thats fucking awesome anon.

>>71067290
>>71068354
I highly respect you both, and will now be fashioning my own ghetto controllers

>>71073683
I can't even imagine what it'd be useful for. Maybe for a game that two people control different cursors.

>>71067290
Best timeline.

Hmm

>>71076588
If I remember correctly, you may need to do a custom setting for it in Arma 2. It would be a simple setting for the driving land vehicles or whatever.

>>71065653
Have you never had a laptop with a mouse connected? They just both control the pointer.

>>71065653

I tried it, both mice moved just one cursor arrow on screen.

>>71067290
>>71071989
HOLY SHIIIIIIITT

>>71067290
I used to feel clever when I swapped between controller and M+KB controls in GTA Online when on driving or on foot, respectively. This is the next level.

>>71077296
Oh that's fine I'll figure it out. Thanks for the tip.

>>71067290
Good stuff annon

>>71067290

So it just ontrols the same mouse cursor, but it would be fun if I could have 2.

It'd be neat to have games that supported it.

>>71081796
Serf City supports it.

>>71081815
Oh right split screen too. A SHMUP might work. 1 person pilots the ship while every other player who has a mouse hooked to the PC controls an additional weapon that can fire from their side of the ship. More usb ports with mice = more guns to fire. Left or right mouse button for different mode of fire with mouse wheel to control power level/fire rate.

>>71065653
When I was a kid I had Settlers 2 on my IBM-compatible 486 and you could use two mice at once and play split screen with a friend, each mouse controlling one of the two pointers on the screen.

>>71067290
Amazing

>>71067290

>>71068354
i dont think i understand this one

>>71082163
You pull/push the white tube forwards/backwards under the mouse to simulate pulling/pushing a flight yolk for a flight video sim.

>>71082163
the controller is attached to a shaft over a mouse, when you turn the controller the mouse turns the car.

>>71082189
