My teacher is fond of using MouseState to easily make pedals from old mac mice and I've been doing the same. Problem is, you can't have two discrete pedals this way; MouseState polls ALL connected mice.

Does anyone know how I might get around this, how I might have more than one mouse pedal? Perhaps there is a better way to make pedals that I hadn't thought of?

Thanks!

Wow...didn't realize how easily this could be done with [hid], but it took me a while to figure out what the inlets and outlets did since there's no f-ing help file for it!

I was thinking though...anyone know of a way to mod a mouse to send MIDI? That would be a cool way to make a pedal board!

You might also like to try hacking an old keyboard to make a foot-switch board, riding [keyin].

Good luck, and keep well ~ Shankar

how does one turn a mouse into a pedal? i cant work it out?

i'm gonna pick up a racing wheel gamepad for the pedals, soon. will let you know how i get on

Use the [MouseState] object into a toggle. The first outlet of [MouseState] sends a bang when any mouse is clicked.

If you want multiple mice pedals, use [hid].
