I'll try pluggin one of them into the front usb and see what happens. I have a Happ Trackball and Tornado Spinner. Not sure what the id's are. I just bought them and plugged them in as the directions instructed. Right now they are both plugged into the back of my computer to the motherboard header. I will try and plug them in differently and see if that helps. Thanks for all the suggestions! |

What version of windows are you using? |

The code inside the chip is what dictates the USB ID, so you can even have conflicts between 2 devices from different vendors if they both use the same stock chips. RandyT |

Thanks for all the help guys. I plugged one into the front usb header and one into the back of the mobo and all is well now. It remembers and I don't have to reonfigure!! :cheers: |

I have a TurboTwist2 spinner and ElectricICE trackball from Randy and didn't think about getting different USB IDs assigned to the devices but I found it easy enough for my control panel to do exactly as Randy suggested. I assigned the trackball to the x and y axis and the spinner to the z access. In my custom controller config I set the spinner controls as MOUSE2_Z and MOUSE3_Z and the same for the trackball (replace Z with appropriate Xs and Ys). The result being, no matter which mouse_id my computer decides to assign to the spinner or trackball, they always work perfectly on my games. |
