I dont think this is possible.. Why do you want to know?

Do both devices connect to the same PC?

Maybe MouseGetCursor()

Return Value

Returns a cursor ID Number:

0 = UNKNOWN (this includes pointing and grabbing hand icons)

1 = APPSTARTING

2 = ARROW

3 = CROSS

4 = HELP

5 = IBEAM

6 = ICON

7 = NO

8 = SIZE

9 = SIZEALL

10 = SIZENESW

11 = SIZENS

12 = SIZENWSE

13 = SIZEWE

14 = UPARROW

15 = WAIT

if it returns 7 than it means there is no mouse? Right?

btw: i think you can get the current mouse position and than change, if it is not changed than it means there is no mouse. and for Keyboard let me think...
