I don't think it is possible.

Reason:
Windows converts any device event into a message in the system message queue which are then posted into the application message queue (for a window). These message are passed in a queue. For ex. When you press keys and click mouse simultaneously, then a message queue will be generated (i.e. either the keyboard's message will be passed first or the mouse's message)

I too think that its not possible,
like even if you click the mouse as well as use the keyboard the system will take the very first operation that you performed,,may be you think that you gave both the commands at the same time but,there will be some time difference between them.

From what I've learnt, and observed, about computers over the years, to be able to use mouse and keyboard simultaneously in 2 different applications, the 2 applications would have to have "focus" simultaneously. Also, they would have to be written (programmed) in such a manner that, one only captures mouse movements while the other, keyboard inputs without mixing them up.

I am not sure what practical purpose this would serve, as one person cannot usually perform the two tasks simultaneously in a coherent manner.

It would be possible with virtualization perhaps.. though I've never attempted it.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a software that allows one to use the keyboard and mouse for different applications. You'll probably need to configure the software in advanced of course.. attaching keyboard input for App 1 and mouse of App 2 to avoid any possible IRQ conflicts.
