hey im starting to dual log, i have a desktop and laptop both very capable of running multipul copies of wow but i am wanting to run one on each. im after a hardware method. ie/ one keyboard n mouse for both comps would be good. that way basically what i do on my desktop is happening on my laptop also. accepting qsts and vendoring etc etc. any light on this would be very helpful thanks!

wouldn't your laptop's screen need to be the exact same size/resolution? cause in one screen the mouse might be moving, but the other the mouse is already stuck at the side... i dono
you will run into problems where one char is lagging behind the other because there is a delay in what you see on one screen and what the other characters are actually doing
try installing keyclone on both computers? problably cheaper than buying 2 sets of wireless kb/m

yeah to true didnt think of that, they are the same res but not the same size. laptop is 15.4 mon is 22. i can easily just go both accs on my comp and just use keyclone thats no problem. i was having some trouble with it, setting it up etc but i can work around that, much cheaper way tthen using hardware. im pretty noob with keybindings so i may need to find a guide for that so i can set all my shift+ and ctrl+ keys etc. basic moving with just the one action bar ive got down pat so ill just keep at it.

I wouldnt worry too much about the mouse - use the laptop touch pad when u need to.
2 x wireless keyboard receivers running off 1 keyboard would be a good start.
If you are running 1 dps/tank & 1 healer on follow you could even use my ghetto solution alternative to Xkeys - a £5.99 usb numpad propped up above my desktop keyboards' F keys to take care of healing
