Mouse This

Multiple Monitors... $300
Multiple Keyboards... $60
5.1 Surround Sound... $80
Multiple Wireless Mice... $70
Multiple Cursors (that can be used simultaneously)... Priceless.
There are some things that are open source...
for everything else... there's Mastercard/Visa/Paypal.



Some friends and I were conversing about the ability to have multiple mice control multiple cursors, and I thought that would be fun to say the least. I looked around online and discovered CPNMouse.

Here is the documentation and software to get it working (hosted here).
Here is the official installation guide.

Reasons to try it:

• It's cool.
• You can use it to play multiplayer games (on one machine).
  
• It might have some useful purpose.
• It increases your nerd coefficient.
• You can say that you did it.

The Downside:

• Dual displays are not supported.
  

Perhaps one day this will become a mainstream feature. There are a few bugs now, but given time they will be worked out, and hopefully this will get integrated into things like Photoshop. I really like the idea of being able to resize objects using two corners at the same time.

Happy Pi Day
