Did the problem occur after a Windows update/upgrade? (If so, from what version?): -
How long have you used XMBC?: Multiple years

Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).:
Please make it possible to have a secondary mouse with custom key combinations, such that the 1st mouse acts as a normal mouse would, but the 2nd mouse if moved hits a hot-key, e.g. shift or alt or any other key really, so it becomes a combination of a key + mouse movement.
This would be awesome as an affordable way to have trackball control with shortcuts in many programs, e.g. Capture One for photo editing.
Thanks for considering!!

Re: Secondary mouse with custom key combinations
Here's why this feature would be ideal: youtube .com/watch?v=UHd74DiCILo
Re: Secondary mouse with custom key combinations
Not sure if you have checked the FAQ or not, but if you had, you should already know why this is not possible...
XMBC uses mouse hooks, They have no way of identifying the source device. So unless I can detect the source device by other means (which may be possible but not straight forward and possible not reliable) then it simply cant happen.

Re: Secondary mouse with custom key combinations
Thank you so much for the quick reply!
The reason I thought there's a change is that Logitech SetPoint (I've got a "Logitech Trackball Marble") has the option to have "SetPoint Implementation" with "Retain OS settings", so I can actually configure my regular mouse and trackball separately.
Now I've recently bought this thing: "Tangent Ripple" and they claim to only use the "HID device therefore no drivers are required".

This HID does not interfere with the mouse configuration at all luckaly and it can emulate a mouse although too choppy.
Therefore I had hope, but alas, thanks for the continued effort on the XMouse software, making me more productive!
