I want to have two players with my windows PC, and I need to understand which data is coming from which user. Each user has a separate mouse and they just need to move the mouse. I need to identify each mouse movement, and save their data separately. Also is there a way that Windows can ignore the movement of one mouse (selected by system administrator) and isolate the movement of the second mouse and save it? Would you please tell me the solution? Thanks.

    Disable/enable the mouse via mouse application software.

    You could consider buying a USB hub with buttons to turn the individual ports on and off. Might be easier than unplugging/re-plugging the dongle.

    Thanks for your response.
    What I mean is to find a feature of Windows that can work like mouse multiplexer so 2 mouse devices can work simultaneously, give the (x,y) coordinates, and save the data. Does such a feature exist?
