Is it possible to use 2 mice at the same in a way they have 2 pointers? Strange question perhaps but I'd like to try this as I think it could be handy when working with 2 screens. Like when you have on one screen a drawing where you need to take measurements in app A and then on the other screen another app B where you are using those measurements. I'm drawing a 3D model from old scanned plans and this would avoid a lot of moving around with the mouse. Certainly with large screens.

I just tried to connect 2 mice but they both control the same pointer. So that doesn't help.
