My Quadra 650 has 2 ADB ports, I am not sure why but it has already proved usefull as my son is on the floor(as is the Q650) & I am at the desk so I can use a seperate mouse. We also can have battles as to where the mouse pointer go's to on the screen.shaktiman Quadra 840av, prettymuchmaxedout8xcd drive,3 monitors 15" & 14" & 14" os 8.1

Dualing/Dueling Mice! LOL!Try playing any sort of mouse-intensive game with two people trying to both control the action. Guaranteed "Game Over" when one person move the mouse to the right, the other moves it to the left and the on-screen character just sits there and gets plastered.

Sometimes When I boot up my Quadra 650 dosn't recognise the second mouse, ie:- my second mouse dosn't move the mouse pointer. Sometimes I can remedy this by unplugging & replugging my second mouse.This is my set-up; Quadra 650 ADB port 1 to ADB keyboard to ADB mouse
Quadra 650 ADB port 2 to ADB keyboard to ADB mouse The second keyboard allways works it is just the second mouse will sometimes work, sometimes wont. I do realise this my be a as is situation, but thought there might be somthing that I could do to ensure that the second mouse works. shaktiman Quadra 840av, prettymuchmaxedout8xcd drive,3 monitors 15" & 14" & 14" os 8.1

Does the mouse work fully reliably when it's plugged in through the 1st ADB port?~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit

do you think that 2 keyboards and 2 mice would tax the 500mAH that the ADB circutry spits out?I have overloaded an ADB bus before, and stuff would stop working at random. took me 6 months to figger out what the hell was wrong with my setup  CCC Lieutennant Commander (Pronounced Leftennant)

 *looks questioningly at the three keyboards and one mouse hooked up to ADB-> USB converter on the G4*
