Download MouseMux. EitherMouse is created in the AutoHotKey scripting language and is primarily designed to have different settings for each mouse when you have more than one connected.

Trying to move both at once will cause issues. Once the program is installed or the portable executable is launched, all you have to do is click the icon in the system tray to open the settings.

Whichever mouse is being used, the options window will show the individual settings for that mouse. A few more options are available from the menu when you click the spanner icon at the top of the window including Exit.

If you are someone that would like one mouse on the primary monitor and another on the secondary monitor to reduce physical movement, EitherMouse could be quite useful. Download EitherMouse. Pluralinput is still in beta and has not had any updates since If it ever comes out of beta the program will be shareware.

Sadly, there appears to be many bugs and issues with Pluralinput and the website has a disclaimer on its homepage saying as much. We highly recommend that you have system backups to hand. Note that Pluralinput installs and runs without confirmation when double clicking on the installer. Insert extra mice and any keyboards you want to use before running the installer to make things easier. Check only the boxes for additional mice and leave your primary mouse alone.

Capturing a mouse to be used exclusively in VirtualBox is very easy and just a couple of clicks. Start the virtual machine, open the Devices menu, highlight USB and click on the mouse or keyboard to be captured. Alternatively, right click the USB icon at the bottom of the window and select the input device. Next time the virtual machine is started, the mouse will automatically connect to the guest operating system. Download VirtualBox.

The other mouse's Graphics could still move, but obviously they can't interact with Desktop UI as long as the Drag applies. Tuesday, July 16, AM.
