Since it is done the way it is, it mean, you could have the keyboard and mouse connected at the same time, it seems like. I suppose in some cases it might be useful, but I don't think any such software currently exists. --[[User:Zzo38|Zzo38]] ([[User talk:Zzo38|talk]]) 14:09, 18 March 2013 (MDT)

Is there any actual data in the first byte, or is it just all zeroes? --Quietust 17:54, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

It appears to be all zeroes in my tests. Kirby's Avalanche for Super NES is known not to check the signature byte; the mouse buttons show up as X and A Buttons. If the first byte were anything but all zeroes, then doing things with the mouse would cause button presses on B, Y, Select, Start, Up, Down, Left, or Right. --Tepples 18:35, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Since it is done the way it is, it mean, you could have the keyboard and mouse connected at the same time, it seems like. I suppose in some cases it might be useful, but I don't think any such software currently exists. --Zzo38 (talk) 14:09, 18 March 2013 (MDT)
