I have never dual boxed before but i have played quite a bit of warcraft in the past. I did read the posts about not posting any questions that could be answered in the Wiki, i looked there but couldnt find anything on what i want to do. If i could get what you guys do so i can understand this a little better. This is what my plan is.
I have two computers, and im going to run two copies of WoW. One on each PC. i was planning on having a keyboard attatched to each computer for logging in/chatting, etc. But i also wanted to have one keyboard thats just the number pad (http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-PA1390U-1NKP-Numeric-Keypad-2-Port/dp/B0009X1U3O/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228266024&sr=1-9) not that exact one buy something similar. And using something a usb to ps/2 converter ( http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2380045&CatId=469 ) then taking that and splitting the signal to go to either computer, using something like this. (http://www.trianglecables.com/7inps2ycabtw.html). sending the same signal to each computer. Then ill have in game macros and spells etc that will both activate when i press a number on the keypad.
What i really want to do is send the same signal to both computers. I dont know if i should use just the keypad, or a full keyboard to do that. Ive read about software like keyclone, but as far as my understanding goes, that is for several accounts to be running on the same computer.
thats my plan, id like to know what everyone thinks about it, or if you have any better suggestions.
thanks for your time, advice is welcome. im still really new at this.
