Will 2 Mice Play Nice?

[ParatoOptimal]

I have sepparate partitions for
W98SE
Linux
DOS6.22
XP Pro

I'd like to get Logitech's MX900 Bluetooth mouse.
My MOBO doesnt' support Bluetooth but I understand that the mouse comes with all you need.
The specs on the MX900 require W2K or XP.

Would it be possible to hook both an MX900 and an MX700 or other USB1.1 or PS/2 mouse at the same time without having to disconnect one or the other depending on which OS I boot into?

Thanks

Yes doing it right now with 3 Mouses 🙂

Oh and no disconnect is necessary as they work fine in 98SE/XP DB but have no experience with Linux

2 mouses/mices/mooses(?) work fine. One wireless and one USB.

Yes, it will work.

Why not just use the MX700 all the time then?

I was told that the MX900 had a better sensor than the MX700 as the MX510 has over the MX500. I also thought Bluetooth was the future and may come in usefull.

Does anyone know where I can get the best price on an MX700?

There's a $14 coupon good through 2/15 at, I think, 5 store chains.

Mx700 is a wonderful mouse, it justs hurts my hand.

Linux lets you either use each mouse individually, or, like Windows, use the sum of all the mouse movements and button actions. /dev/input/mouseX are the individual ones, /dev/input/mice is the concerto.
