I do have fun with two. I have a laptop which has a touchpad (I use the synaptics driver for the event interface, but it also works if configured through the mouse interface. I also have a usb trackball. For some time the trackball worked. Suddenly it didn't. Upon closer inspection I noticed that they were both set to /dev/mouse0. I have to assume that when it was working, the kernel had placed it first, when it stopped working it must have ended up on mouse1. I changed it to mice and everybody was happy.
