Two separate mousepointers? Sounds like tons of fun, anyway. :)

Sure is.....
Absolutely greatfun

Has anyone thought about using a joystick or gamepad as the input for a 'second pointer'? You can certainly access the mouse (or touchpad, etc) and joystick (or gamepad, etc) separately.

I'm sure some people have....whether they got the time and patience is another matter

hmm

I've actually thought about this in the past and how to do it. As someone pointed out, multiple mice might just be registered as one, so first thing you'd want to do is figure out a way to seperate them, maybe by their index, or the port they enter or something(this would probably be the hardest part) now once you did that, you'd just have to draw a mouse curser on the screen. best way Id say to do this is just to use a form, with an image of a mouse on it, then make the form invisible(set the form color to like purple then set the form invisible setting to that) then do a little research on how to move the mouse and send clicks. Moving the mouse is quite easy, its just been away, but its like cursor.X or something like that..

Maybe it's possible, but it will be hard in vb6. You can use USB mouse and recive the mouse movments from USB port, but then you should know how USB protocol is working. Why don't you google it.
