Okay spent alot of last night and this morning looking at various threads here. I can't seam to find one that fits my wants/needs.

I have two computers and I just want to run one toon on each. I started by just trying to find a way to split my keyboard and trackball to both comps. Then just play both toons from that. Both toons are speced the same and both are Mages with all the same key bindings. Both computers are also the same with identical settings and displays. That didn't work looks like you can't splice USB Cables. So then I went wireless the system I tryed to use with a Kensington SlimBlade but it would seam all the recivers are programed to the keyboard and mouse it came with so that didn't work. Sinse I can't use one slimblade and two recivers. I have heard you can split PS2 Cables so think I might try that today only problem there is if the keybaord and mouse use PS2 I'm thinking they are gonna blow.

Sorry if this has been covered I just couldn't seam to find it anywere. Most posts seamed to be a much more complicated system running 5 toons. Splitting screens running keyclone software and follow/assist scripts ect ect.

I know I am way to dumb when it comes to software to ever figure something like that out if it doesn't have a screw or bolt in it i'm lost.

Thanks ahead of time for your help.

quite frankly for ease of use I would just use software key transmitting instead of hardware. Keyclone is the most user friendly and has a ton of options. Autohotkey is another it is free but has a steeper learning curve.

Hit the wiki button up top and check out your options.

Sorry Fizzler I don't think you understand jusy how stupid I am when it comes to Sofware. I have two twin computers that I built myself on my desk. I connect to the internet via a Livewire 2 Wireless Mot. I can't even set up a network were they talk to eachother much less Octypus or keyclone system. So for me a Hardware solution is the way to go I will just never fig out how to set up a software solution and I know it.

On a positive note I finnaly fig. out what a Vetra Keyboard Multicaster is and looks like that is the way to go for me. It's pricey but money I have, intel I don't so yah. Now just to figure out the Trackball thing I hate /follow.
