Hello everybody!
Over the last two days I have been reading the forums and I have to say I have found an answer to all my questions.

This is what I have setup for my two accounts (Warrior as the main and a Priest for support)

Initially I started with my main pc and a laptop. The laptop was a bit weak for the task at hand so got ditched real quick. However my PC was more than up to the job running two copies of WoW so I found an old 15� LCD and used it as a 2nd screen (it�s a cheap screen and the image quality is very poor but it is more the suitable for monitoring the 2nd account)

My goal was to run everything from one basic keyboard nothing fancy and a mouse.

What I used. Mubox (Free), Jamba Addon.

Mubox was real easy to setup and get going. Jamba is a little fiddly (I still have some niggles)
I use the F keys for my priest and the number keys for my Main with CTRL and ALT for the 2nd and 3rd rows (Bartender 4)
I also have Titan panel installed and a few other things.

I wanted to keep it simple mubox broadcasts the keystrokes very well there is little to no delay at all.
Jamba however is a little confusing to use.
I have some issues with its warnings, following (will not follow after combat) and grouping (where the members will join then immediately disband).
Other than that it is all going well.
I have some basic macros nothing fancy.
Now really I am just looking some advice on playing two toons at the same time or any opinions for additional addons etc�


Thanks for your time
Regards
Fatty

I myself use keyclone, as it functions very well for what you need.

That being said, There is quite a few options here for you. Might want to try hotkeynet.

I believe innerspace is also a good one, and there is one more that just came onto the scene, Gamecommanderpro.

All of these should work well, one of the reasons I like Keyclone, is because Rob has always responded to me super fast when I had a question. I'm sure the others will also, but I'm old, and go with what I know.

One reason I went with MuBox was that it looked so simple even I could use it.

i use keyclone and jamba and if i can use them anyone can!

i don't use jamba with follow after combat as i found they follw when they should stay! i have 2 macros

/assist party1
/focus

and

/follow focus

this way they follow when i want and once they are set to assist me i just have to press the follow key each time. works for me :)

I updated the Muboxer AddOn with improved Auto-Follow support, so events such as exiting combat will resume auto-follow (assuming you were auto-following previously.) This change appeared in 1.3.0.57, can you give it a try and see if it behaves as you expect it to?

Enjoy.
