Two mice and swapping buttons

Duplo · 16-July-08, 02:31 PM

Hi all,
I've recently connected a second mouse to my PC (one in the PS/2 mouse port, another in a USB socket). The reason for this is because I'm right handed and my son is left handed - so now there's a mouse on either side of the desk.

At the moment, each time one of us uses the computer, we have to go into the control panel and swap over the mouse buttons (whereas I right click - he left clicks... If you see what I mean)

Is there anyway to get the computer to have left and right buttons swapped over for one mouse but not the other? I'm guessing XP can't do this but does anyone know of a fancy application that might?

Cheers guys and gals,
Dupes

that is a good question & i'm not sure it can be done unless using a software?

what you can do is make a new user account with is name & configure his mouse under his name that should work fine
