Author Topic: Two mice (Read 330 times)

Any one know how to make the mouse on an x52 work independantly of a regular system mouse? Or maybe make AH2 see two different mice?

My goal is to make the x52 mouse do panning mouse views and the system mouse do all of the other mouse work. Currently I can make both mice do both things, but I can't make them work independantly of each other.

Use a mouse for views? Some day a Hellcat going to come along and eat you up.

I appreciate the input and you may very well be right, but you didn't answer the question.

BTW, I get chewed up on a regular basis.

Might be some cause and effect there. Using mouse for views might be good for filming or sight seeing but IMO it's far to sluggish to track a single bandit in a fight.
Add a friend or two and those pesky enemies and you basically put a shoot me sign on your back.

The answer- you have 2- 8 way hat switches, one on each controller. They are designed to be used for views.
Don't try to reinvent the wheel, use what you have. Even if you happen to have two extra arms and hands your hat switches are your best bet.

My point of view, that's a logical answer. According to yours I still probably haven't answered your question.
