My pc isn't strong enough to run 5 instances of wow. Is there a way to take control of a separate pc when my main dies, using the same keyboard/mouse?

PiP across multiple pc's doesn't work obviously.
I use Octopus just so i can move my mouse to the other pc. Works fine. There's a few other tools to do that too.

Multiplicity
A few others I know of... basically they make it so your mouse can move from monitor to monitor just like dual monitor, but you are controlling other PC's. Synergy is free, has a wonky right click issue with the camera spinning crazy, Multiplicity is commercial, but doesn't suffer that. Multiplicity has trouble with Ventrilo's push to talk, Synergy doesn't have that issue...
Personally I went with Synergy because losing Vent (rarely) isn't nearly as bothersom as your camera screwing up if you right click.
FYI, I have been meaning to type up a post regarding this but my new X-keys USB Pro and Multiplicity did not get along. The combination would crash explorer.exe. Putting the X-keys in hardware mode using their new beta software fixed it. Talking to the PI Engineering rep they had tested X-keys with Synergy and another network sharing program whom he did not name but not with Multiplicity. I gave them all the info on multiplicity so maybe they will patch the issue I was having.Quote:

awesome thanks, didn't realized how unbelievably easy to set that up was. Thanks guy, been holding me back in bgs for quite some time now, I've been typically screwed when my main dies. Its like a whole new game now.
