Does anyone know a program with hotkey function that can disable mouse clicks?
I found this one so far, it works, but doesn't have a shortcut to switch between states of on/off:

I don't want my slaves to click something accidentally in wow, while I do stuff on my master.
With Hotkeynet it was setup in a way that the mouse was always only sent to the master, but had to be activated with a special key to be sent to all clients.
With my current hardware setup it's the reverse, all mouse actions are always sent to all PCs/Logins.
Ideally I would want a program there I can for example hit CTRL+ALT+M shortcut which then would disable or enable mouse clicks.

Now that I think about it. Could Software like Synergy solve my problem?
Is there any Software that does not have broadcasting functionality, just in case blizzard decides to ban accounts that use those?

Considering Blizzard's supposed greenlighting of Hardware based broadcasting your best bet is likely a 2nd KM Switch that either:
-A) accepts macros from the mouse to switch between all or specific PCs/VMs;
-B) Has a way to accept input from your keyboard to have your mouse to switch between all or specific PCs/VMs;
Synergy is software broadcasting of inputs and able to go to multiple clients on multiple machines and may be limited to just one machine at a time though I would hate to have to try to argue/prove that to Blizzard. If you do look at Synergy you may want to look at the free Open Source fork of Synergy which is named Barrier if my memory is correct.

I solved this problem with 2 KM Syncs, 2 keyboards and 2 Mice.
Mouse 1 & Keyboard 1 = main pc only ... Have Multiplicity to do Synergy/Barrier like functions.
Mouse2 = plugged into KM Sync 1 that goes to 4x slave boxes
Keyboard2 = plugged into KM sync 2 that goes to all 5 boxes for key broadcasting.
It smoothed out boxing 100% once I had the main mouse off the slave boxes.

When boxing dungeons you are mainly using keyboard 2 and mouse 1 (with maybe occasional mouse 2)?
To me this seems like the best overall setup.
Do you ever switch either of your KMs from sync to only control a given PC or do you just do any single PC stuff via Multiplicity?

Single stuff with multiplicity ... except ctrl + arrow to main pc when I need to type on main pc while boxing then scrl lock x 2 + 0 to go back to all.
