I can't try it, I don't have two Wiimotes.
So can you tell us how you can have two mouse pointers? |

| Spontaneous guess - one of the pointers are a dummy and sends mouseclicks when a button is pressed. I don't think it's possible to send mouse-position events without messing with the real cursor, so this "dummy" would only be able to send mouseclicks. |

@Mikey: I solved these Wiimote features yet:
- all Wiimote Buttons except Power
- Wiimote Motion Acceleration
- Expansion (Nunchuk) Acceleration (need to be calibrated)
- Expansion Buttons
- Expansion Analog Joystick Pos
- Set/Get LED status
- Get battery status
I am currently trying to read the calibration data from the memory but I the returned data doesnt seem to be correct (only 3 bytes set, rest is zero)
BTW: i dont use any library but the HID.lib from windows driver kit (DDK) |

all it is doing is having both wiimotes send mouse events (absolute mouse events). since windows interprets all the mouse events the pointer keeps being in both places in once. button presses are sent with their pointer position, so each wiimote presses their button in the place they are actually pointing. |

| again. i'm worried about doing motion acceleration because i don't want to screw up my calibration data. has anyone got their calibration done fool proof yet? |

Uhm... wha? The cursor can't be at two absolute coordinates simultaneously.... Or am I missing something? |

no it can't. i'm bad at writing out my thoughts apparently. what happens is the computer quickly interprets every mouse event showing the mouse in the new absolute position every time it processes one. so basically it looks like two very very fast blinking mouse pointers. |
