 Hello,
before purchasing this software, I want to ask if it is possible for two users to control two windows independently.

To be specific, I want to play a game on one monitor, while my girlfriend browses on another.

I will be using controller and she will be using mouse and keyboard.

Does Actual Multiple Monitors allowe me to do this?

Thank you

 Hello, Gohan

It depends on how the game interacts with the controller, so we can't say for sure.

Our programs have the trial period. It will be better if you try it yourself. Here's the link to the latest version.
You need to try the Ignore Deactivation feature

 I actually need a very similar thing.  I want to have two keyboards and two mice controlling two monitors like they are different computers.  

The reason is that I frequently have to go down two lists and compare items.  Usually one is Excel and one is a webpage, but sometimes both are Excel, other apps are possible too.  If I do it on two computers I can arrow down both at the same time or whatever, and comparing the lists is easy, but copy/pasting is not easy.  If I do it on one computer, I have to go back and forth to each list which is a lot of wasted time and effort, but copy/pasting is easy.  

The ideal solution is to have two keyboards/mice on one computer controlling two monitors like they are different computers.  Then when I have to copy data back and forth it's still easy.  

Not sure if AMM can do this ...

 Hello, cliff

Unfortunately, our program doesn't provide such ability.

Best regards.
