multiple computers - mouse support ?

[Moorea]

I'm considering adding a second computer to do 4 windows on 1 computer and 1 on the other (right now I do 5 on 1 computer and 2 screen) and I'm curious how that would work with the mouse ? how do I get the mouse from 1 computer to move the mouse of the other computer, optionally (ie most times I wouldn't want to move the mouse of both computers but only 1 of them - but sometimes if I'm just 2 boxing, having the mouse in sync on the 2 would be good)

does keyclone support/help for that ? if not what else does ? (yes I looked at the wiki but the mouse isn't mentioned in the comparison table)

One for each computer. Now to get the mouse from one computer to the next (keyclone doesn't do that for you), I recommend KaVoom-KM version. I use both Keyclone and KaVoom-KM (not KVM). It allows you to seemlessly move your mouse from one computer screen to another computer screen. I do exactly what you are wanting to do. I run 1 computer with my main char, and a second computer with 4 chars. I use the Keyclone maximizer to create 4 regions on the second screen and load a char into each region. All I have to do using KaVoom-KM is move my mouse across the main screen to the alt screen and over the region i want to work in. It makes it so easy to accept quests and turn them in. You can get KaVoom-KM from www.lavishsoft.com ('http://www.lavishsoft.com/') The KVM version works differently and if you run Vista on both computers, it won't work at all. But I am very please with the KM version. It also lets you use just one keyboard. i do not even have a mouse or keyboard connected to my second computer. It becomes functional at the login screen when booting up.

It becomes functional at the login screen when booting up.I don't see KaVoom-KM on that site. I found it on http://www.kavoom.biz though. Also I run vista64 on each computer. It would be another $40 apparently though - isn't there some solution just for the mouse (free? cheap[er]?), not redundant with keyclone (or some replacement of keyclone with similar features + mouse handling ?)

or better: why isn't keyclone supporting mouse switching from 1 computer to the next ? (mouse switching as opposed to mouse broadcast - I guess maybe I can have 2 mice as a workaround... but I'm not sure I'd always pick the right one/would be slow switching)

You've considered synergy? :)

I was going to diss all the other KM's.. (and maybe I should) but I do plan to have a nice snappy KM out in a couple of weeks (unless something goes seriously wrong:P) designed to work with keyclone, but I do not plan to offer mouse broadcasting - the Shockbeta modded Multibox is the only KM program that does that, but it's built in debug mode, so a bit slow, and jumps desktops :P. Otherwise, it's Multiplicity, Synergy (awful) or Kavoom.

thanks

My bad. I gave the wrong link. The link i gave you was for innerspace, which you do not need for this. You found the right spot. KaVoom.biz

You can use on two computers for one license.

thanksa KM switch is where the keyboard and mouse go from one PC to another... can be hardware or software.

well I am supporting 5 button mice. I won't be charging any more than Kavoom, $40... but I am not sure yet.

I'll have a trial out some time soon hopefully :)

maybe I'll write my own :-)
