2 Analogue Controllers...

Kinda carrying on from my "2 USB mice" question, I'll get more specific in order to try to get a result.

I need, in essence, 2 mouse wheels. Something circular that I can roll around and get two different inputs.

2 Mice with wheels would be best, but my other ideas are:

2 Steering wheels
2 Paddles(?)
A butchered 2 wheel mouse

Problem is that as I don't have any of the 3 things described above, I'm not convinced these would work.

Anyone have any ideas, or perhaps another creative solution to my problem?

Thanks in advance!

You can't use multiple mice with blitz, but you can use multiple joysticks / joypads... maybe you can do something with them...

Why not just use a dual analogue stick. You won't get the fine mouse style control your maybe looking for.

Personally I use a ps2 pad on my PC and using both analogues together with the shoulder buttons it quite intuitive.

What is it your trying to do?

Isn't there a USB input code snippet somewhere here?
You may be able to make some kind of really rough thing to gain input from the mouse. It would probably be pretty complicated, though.
