Erm, weird one - can I connect 2 mice to my PC?

Mice or mouses?

Anyway, I have a desire to connect 2 mices to the PC - before I do so and it all crashes, will it actually work?

One will be USB wired, the other USB wireless

Ta,

Me

Hi Robert,

Not tried it with a PC but I know you can with a laptop. I have a touchpad mouse and a usb mouse and both work so it may be possible.

You will not "blow anything up" if you do try. One simply won't work if it's not possible.

Cheers

don't see why not. It's what my lap top has in effect with the touch pad and a usb mouse and I switch between the two. Don't see how you could use them simultaneously though if that's what you were thinking?

I'll plug in and see lol

I want to leave my wired laser mouse in at all times - it's what I use mostly for gaming.

However, some of you may recall I have the PC set up with my 'home cinema' (sounds grand, it isn't really!) but I'd like the wireless mouse away from the PC near my "viewing sofa" so when watching movies etc on the PC I can control it without getting up

Only thing is there's a danger of them breeding.......................

They're both male

Shouldn't be a prob with how you want to use them.
