Enable Multiple Pointer For Each Mouse Device using Xinput in Linux

This is how to enable multiple pointer for each mouse attached in your computer:

  1. Open a terminal and type in xinput (all commands should be done as normal user).

  2. Look at the id of the one of your mice.

  3. Create a new master device with this command xinput create-master "name"

  4. Now you just need to reattach one of your mice to the new master xinput reattach device_master_id new_master_id
