EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
I tested the previous version, that is very interesting.
I think a new option can be added: if is possible, I think very useful to set a different screen margin for every mouse: in a 2 monitor system, a mouse cursor can have one screen margins and another mouse cursor can have other screen margins...

EitherMouse 0.85 not working for RDP
I tried EitherMouse.exe 0.85 and it works fine locally, but if I connect to some other PC via RDP the buttons of the left mouse are not switched any more, so I can't use the left mouse in this RDP session. I already tried to start EitherMouse.exe as admin, but this did not make any difference. Did I miss some important setting, or does it not work any more?
With old EitherMouse.ahk 0.41 and AutoHotkey 1.1.22.02 RDP was working, but this old version did not work for programs started as admin.

Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
Hi,
been using it for ages, still loving it, especially the mirroring!
Problem: New additional screen with touch, when I touch the screen, the cursor reverts to normal / "right-y" alignment. But I cannot edit the "touch-mouse" as the eithermouse popup immediately disappears. Could there be an option to either being able edit one device with another (basically choose device to edit), or have a global mirroring?

Scroll Wheel Speed doesn't work in Firefox.
It doesn't work even with Firefox's smooth scrolling turned off.
It works on Edge.
Is there any solution?

Firefox 108.0.8 (64bit)

bigarro:
Hmm... does the normal windows "Mouse Properties" scroll speed adjustment apply in Firefox?
- If not, EitherMouse might not be the solution (Firefox option maybe?)
- If yes, is Firefox running as administrator?
- If so, run EitherMouse as administrator also and check
- If not, I'm not sure... do the other mouse settings apply in Firefox?
markusschloesser:
I've been meaning to add that ability for years, just haven't got around to it. If you're keen on registry editing, look in HKCU\Software\EitherMouse and you can manually edit the options that way.
HansS:
RDP (and VNC) support has also been on my list, never got around to a solution, sorry

Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
Thanks! How I do find out, which of all the listed ones, it is?
Also what is the registry entry for "Mirror Cursor" and to what value does it need to be set?
Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
When you move the specific mouse while the EitherMouse gui is open, the mouse name in the middle will change (ie "Mouse 2"), look for the entry with that "nick"
"Mirror Cursor" is a binary toggle, set it to 1 to enable.

Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
yeah, but it's not a mouse, it's a touchscreen
I do not have any entry named"mirror cursor" in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\EitherMouse (Win10),
I only have (Default), Button, Clicklock, Cursor (but all mouses have that set to 1 already), Double, Epp, Handle, Icon, Name, Nav, Nick, RevHScroll, RevScroll, SnapTo, Speed, Wheel, WheelClick
Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
The subkeys are always Mouse1, Mouse2, Mouse3, etc... and under that, the "Cursor" key should be set to 0 for normal, 1 for mirrored.
On my touch screen testing, the cursor disappears when using the touch screen, which is not preventable by EitherMouse as far as I know (but never looked into a solution if that is what you are talking about)

Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
I found the problem! The mouse cursor for touch screens is a slightly different one. In comparison to the normal a bit bigger. So how do I mirror that one?
(btw I had to make my touchscreen my "primary/main" monitor, otherwise the icons were only shown on the non-touchscreen and therefor I couldn't access EitherMouse)

Thanks for the reply gwarble
>does the normal windows "Mouse Properties" scroll speed adjustment apply in Firefox? --> Yes.
>- If yes, is Firefox running as administrator? --> No.
>- If so, run EitherMouse as administrator also and check --> I tried it but it didn't change.
>- If not, I'm not sure... do the other mouse settings apply in Firefox? --> I turned off auto scroll and smooth scroll in firefox, but nothing changed.
Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
I have used EitherMouse for what feels like forever, and I really appreciate it. Now I recently switched to Macbook Pro, and I have trouble finding a similar software.
Can you help?
Thanks

Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
I just want to say thank you! you are a genius and a life saver! I have young onset Parkinson's and am only 40, not ready to quit working, but when my meds are not working properly, it is almost impossible to use my right handed mouse. You have saved me from having to keep switch between the two. I seriously couldn't express enough how helpful this is for people like me, I have a co-worker with the exact same issue and I am going to go get this set up for him.

Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
I found a script that can change the speed of the wheel. I just have to find a way to determine which of the two mice is currently active. I found EitherMouse and was unspeakably surprised to find that it already did exactly what I had in mind! For half a year, I've been manually switching this scrolling speed using my gaming mouse and magic mouse in turn. If only I had known that my problem was solved...
Thanks a lot

Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
Hey @gwarble, Can you tell me how the multi-cursor works?, cause I’m really curious.
Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
If you mean how does it work for the user, I would say just try it and it will make more sense than I can explain, but basically it simulates two separate cursors, but does not allow simultaneous usage. So if one mouse moves, then switching to the other mouse will switch over to the last location of that mouse's cursor, leaving behind a placeholder for the last mouse to resume when switched back...
If you mean how does it work behind the scenes, basically it uses the RawInput API. EitherMouse is open source, check the code if you're interested in the low level functionality, just install it with the "Include source" option.
Otherwise feel free to ask more specifically if you want.

Re: EitherMouse 0.8 - Multiple mice, individual settings...
This is a minor detail but there seems to be a bug with the Mirror Cursors option:
If I use a custom cursor or cursor other than the default (black etc.) it makes my Text selection and Crosshair cursors invisible when using the left-handed mouse, which makes it incredibly hard to do many mundane tasks. I tried setting my full roster of left handed cursors manually using Mouse settings, but it seems like it only has separate settings for all the other mouse options? I know including a left-handed cursor pack may not make sense or be too much work, but it would be great if the default was letting us set our own cursors separately for each mouse in Mouse options.
PS your software is awesome!
