Use Two Mice, Both Right and Left Handed?

Dear all,

Until recently, I was using a Wacom tablet as input device besides my keyboard and P/S 2 mouse. I have my mouse configured with the primary buttons switched, so that I can handle it comfortably with my left hand. I was using the mouse that came with the tablet with my right hand. This worked very well for me.


Unfortunately, my Wacom tablet has developed a fault. I have connected an extra USB mouse to my computer. Unfortunately, one of the mice has to work in the wrong way. I want them to work mirrored - so to say. Switching the buttons could also provide relief, but that's not the option I would prefer.

Has anybody else experienced the same problem? Do you maybe have ideas to develop a small programme in Delphi that should run in the background to achieve this? We could intercept the clicks of one of the mice - we could use the device id - and map the left mouse button click to the right mouse button click and vice versa. I hope you like the idea. Let's join together to create this! TIA

Kind regards,
