I do not have multiple mice, but this little tool might be useful to others...

Source code is available and is written in AutoHotKey.

thanks for recommending EitherMouse, i'm the author (just found it here on a google search)
i haven't read up on your requirements for being portable, but FYI eitherMouse currently writes to the registry.

This can be changed if someone prefers, to a local ini file or something... please let me know. I'm also open to feature requests for the software

hello
Ive been trying to uninstall the program but the uninstaller (in the windows menu) doesn't work
cant uninstall it using revo either
is there a way to safely uninstall it and remove any associated files?
thanks

[gwarble]

I need to improve that i guess...
You can try the installer and select "uninstall", or just manually remove HKCU/Software/EitherMouse from the registry... There are NO associated files, just program settings are saved

Tested v0.64 (zip package), still writes to the registry.

This can be changed ... to a local ini file or something...

Yes, please! This program is very useful.

Just saw your replies from June... I didn't know there were any users holding out for .ini-saved settings rather than the registry currently used (and in the portable sense there will be issues because each computer its used on will undoubtedly assign each mouse a different device ID/handle...)

i will move it to the top of the priority list

in the future please contact me directly for issues or feature requests:

Topic update: EitherMouse latest release appears to be v0.85 (2020?; info scraped from AHK source header since homepage changelog is obsolete).

Can't test it ATM (no laptop), so no portability update...

Spoiler!   

Interesting info also found in EitherMouse AHK source:
