What i was thinking to my self is take one screen out, and put it to my other computer to make one big screen, but on one of the computer has both WoW's Running, And then i can sorta Windows mode it and drag it into the other screen, hook up my keyboard to the computer that i am using and mabye that could work?

Keyclone is the best program once you get it running. I'm guessing you don't having it running smoothly or you would be very "fond" of it. As for your question I doubt that it would work..

If you are using two computers, you can download Synergy, which includes keyboard broadcasting, similar to KeyClone. It's free, and works fine, and the Windows version is easy to install and use.

There are also other paid options available, such as Octopus, or a physical KVM switch, all of which are in the Wiki and software and hardware forums.

Running two WoWs on two computers and sending keypresses to both is VERY possible. Keyclone is a very popular program for a reason -- but Keyclone isn't REQUIRED to multibox.

Hardware and "hybrid" boxers are actually quite common, though for some reason you don't tend to hear about us much. *shrug*

In any case, there are multiple ways for you to send keypresses to two machines:
Sync'ing one wireless keyboard to multiple wireless receivers. ('http://dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=12#post12')
Using a hardware keyboard multiplexer (such as the Vetra ('http://dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=14#post14'))
Using software ('http://dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Software') that emulates a hardware keyboard multiplexer (such as Keyclone ('http://dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Keyclone'), Synergy ('http://dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Synergy') (w/broadcasting), Multibox ('http://dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Multibox'), etc). Software comes with the added feature that you can usually also transmit mouse movement between computers.


You might find Bradster's hardware guide ('http://dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=8855') and my guide ('http://www.vboxing.net/guide') useful. :)
