Windows – Two mice, one left handed and another right handed. At the same time

mousewindows 7

I would like to have two mice connected to my computer, and have one mouse left-handed, another right-handed. And not needing to change any settings for using any of them.

I've googled for this and did not find some information, but nothing helpful. Somebody suggested to have 2 accounts, some other suggested a short-cut that changes mouse buttons over. I did not like any of that. And I remember, I saw somebody using their laptop with right-handed touch-pad and left-handed mouse. At the same time.

Both of my mouse are plain vanilla USB, with no drivers, tried finding drivers for any of the mouse did not get me anywhere.
This is how mouse configuration looks like:

There is no option for different mouse to be configured different. I think I need to install some mouse drivers/software that allow different configuration. Is there anything like this availble??

Many thanks in advance!

p.s. Using Windows 7 Pro, one mouse is Fujitsu, another Sandsrom.

Update: I'm not going to use both mice at the same time. One at a time, but both connected all the time. I would like to switch hands to avoid CTS.
Also to stop co-workers swearing on my left-handed mouse, when they try to show me something on my screen. They will ask about 2 mice instead

This looks like a job for AutoHotkey! Rather than reinvent the wheel myself, user gwarble over at the AutoHotkey Forums has already created an application that does exactly what you want:

EitherMouse

  • Multiple mice, individual settings...
  • New features means EitherMouse isn't just for lefties anymore!
  • Leave 2 mice on a pc and automatically swap buttons on the secondary mouse
  • This allows a user to leave a left-handed and a right-handed mouse always connected and ready to use, or...
  • Useful for a multiple user or public workstation with both left and right handed users. the active mouse is detected and buttons are assigned accordingly and immediately
  • Individual settings for multiple mice besides swapping buttons, like cursor, speed, etc
  • New experimental MultiCursor mode keeps each mouse's location seperate!
  • Easily swap mouse buttons from system tray if only one mouse is desired
  • tray icon points to active mouse
