I have kind of done this in XP, with a synaptics touch pad external which i can't find on the net right now, and a serial mouse. When using it, you can lock the touchpad so it doesn't move the cursor. The serial mouse works as usual. I could mail it to you if you'd like, but I guess it only works with a touchpad.

Instead, I want to use it sinply to input raw control data into PD. I'm imagining input floats such as "X Position", "Y Position", "Button1", "Button2", "Wheel Inc", "Wheel Dec".
The GEM library features a mouse object with such values.
Hmm....I can see how to use [gemmouse] to input mouse info from a mouse device "that is being used as a mouse", but i'm looking to get input from mouse devices that are "not being used as mice". I just want their inputs to function as generic control data.
Thanks for the reply nonetheless,
