Dual mouse control

[LittleJimbo]

Hello

 

I have 2 mouse connected to my computer is there a way to assign each mouse to different function for example one for the mouse courser and one for view ?

 

Best regards

In Windows, there is no concept of multiple mice and keyboards. A normal windows application cannot tell input from different devices apart at all (you need to use special low-level APIs for that).

 

There is HIDMacros, which can tell apart input from different keyboards and mice. I have never tried it though, so I don't know whether it can do anything useful with mouse movement data or if it can only deal with mouse buttons.

 

Then you'd still have the problem of getting that data into DCS.

 

If you just want something to work and value your time, it is probably cheaper to buy an additional joystick or gamepad. If you want to get multiple mice working and don't care about how much time it takes you to get running, learn how to program and somehow combine HIDMacros with a vJoy feeder application.

Thanks for your replay I think i value my time to much to try and program it myself. Ill properly spend a bit more time and try to optimize NoIR face tracker.

LJ, I have programmable mouse buttons so I assigned keyboard key to middle mouse button and using it to switch between view and cursor.
