Well, with a proper [hid] object and a proper HID implementation, you
can connect to as many mice as you can plug in. Microsoft did a very
stupid thing with their HID implementation: the OS locks all mice and
keyboards for exclusive use, so this won't work on Windows.
But on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, you can use as many mice, keyboards,
joysticks, etc. as you want right now.
As for CPNmouse, if it has a decent API, it would not be hard to write
an Pd object for it.

Speaking of [cursor], has anyone written an object that takes

I know very little about [gemmouse], so I couldn't tell you. And I haven't written [systempointer] yet, feel free to beat me to it. These days I am thinking [cursor] is a better name...

Hello Hans,
I was wondering if there is a way (or a Gem version) where
"Gemmouse"
object works properly on OS X (pd-0.39-2)?
I looked at the PD-List archive and found your message bellow. Anything new?
Thanks. Carlos Caires

the
coords of the system pointer at all times, as well as button press coords. It would be a general Pd object that would do what you want, but alas, its still on the todo list.
Feel free to beat me to it ;)
