Dual mouse setup (beehaw.org)
submitted 1 month ago by Dippy@beehaw.org to c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

Okay so I don't have Linux, i honestly don't know much about it. But I have dreamed for a while now of a future in which I could use 2 MMO gaming mice to bring my computer usage to the next level. Now I don't think that most computers would know how to handle 2 mice, and I don't think a single game would either, but if there is any that could, it has to be a Linux right? Is that even theoretically possible? Do you think we could ever have that future?

Do you think we could ever have that future?

That's interesting, but personally, I don't see a lot of point. I'm totally willing to learn about other people's workflows and use cases though. I just have a hard time envisioning a need for two pointers at once other than edge cases like resizing lots of windows or something. Maybe 3d modeling, for better moving/rotating control?

In most cases, it seems like the way to get more efficient is to stop using the mouse and fire up a terminal. If you just want more buttons on your mouse so you can have a full keyboard, maybe try the Azeron Cyro? I haven't used it personally, though I do use their Cyborg for games.

For 3D modeling, you can get a 3D mouse such as the SpaceMouse.

Neat, thanks for sharing!

That thing looks sick! This is the kind of innovation I want out of the tech industry

Their Cyborg is really great. Takes some time to get the muscle memory, but it really does the job well.
