Mouse Question

Is it possible to have two mice plugged into my PC and switch between them on the fly? Like, one second I'm using one mouse, and then I grab the other one and start using that one. Is this possible, or do you have to go into the control panel every time to switch inputs?

you can use 2 mice, but they will control the same cursor

Okay that's what I meant yeah. I want to control the same cursor with two different mice. So this will work without having to change inputs methods every time?

yeah just plug 2 in, you can have a fight with them :D

 

just like a laptop can have a trackpad and mouse plugged in, both still work, same for a desktop with two mice

As said, yes you can.. Just be sure you aren't moving the second one with the wire or such as you would have to go into the control panel to disable.. or just unplug (or if wireless then switch off)
