Kavoom - Software "KVM" / Synergy Alternative

Multiplicity does not work well in mixed XP / Vista setups. XP and Vista mixed setups will not communicate and Multiplicity support is not good.

One of the reasons I bought KavoomKM is because it works well with Vista. The one thing that I don't like about KavoomKM is the online licensing method. It is a pain when one of your systems dies with a license still on it. You must contact KavoomKM support and they will reset your licensing information in their database.

The other KM software that I have tried is called MultiView. I would not recommend MultiView to anyone. It is no better than Synergy and has the exact same spin problems.

Do any of these solutions provide the option to only share mouse and not keyboard? I haven't figured out how to do it in either Synergy or Multiplicity.

i was considering using something like this just for looting and maybe even mouse over based macros on my second PC but would like to control both hotbars from the one keyboard.

If none do it I guess using hotkeynet or something similar to all my bind keys the same on either PC would do the job.

Has anyone tried something like this for using mouse over macros? Was mainly thinking of using for a quick way to heal anyone in party on priest while keeping tank as main screen.

I have emailed [url='mailto:help@kavoom.biz']help@kavoom.biz[/url] asking the above question, and have not received an answer back. The last email was about a week ago, and not even a "hey, we got your email" response. I love the software, but not the support. I would love to disable the keyboard broadcast for WoW, But i do use it when i'm not playing WoW. If someone has an answer for this PM me.

i can't use any of these with my G5 mouse, it works fine with my main pc, but when i move the mouse to another pc it bugs out, and i'm almost 100% sure its the mouse software not being loaded on theo ther pc so the mouse sensitivity differs per pc. i tried with just an MS intelimouse and it worked fine (synergy) but can't figure out how to get my g5 to work, i installed the g5 software on both pc's but of couse that didn't work as i only ahve 1 g5 mouse. so i gave up.

oh and to reply to myself here again, on another subject, has anyone tried synergy for vista 64?

i run synergy on vista 64 everyday.
but now i'm thinking of switching over to multiplicity if not for the fact that it doesnt' work well with xp/vista systems combined.... can anyone confirm this for sure?
if things are good.. then will be switching over. I can't take it anymore the fact that i can't control the mice on the other computer at all with synergy properly (mouselook, camera spin).

I bought this software. It works and I've been able to mouselook/steer okay, but I'm still trying to sort out an issue with it and KeyClone hotstrings.

I fixed my issues with keyclone.

I wrote a batch file on each machine that does this:

@ECHO OFF

net stop "Kavoom! VM"

net start "Kavoom! VM"

So I run these batch files after starting keyclone and it makes sure that the driver order is correct.

I just started playing warhammer. I have 2 computers setup with 2 accounts. i just purchased another keyclone as well as KavoomKM. However I have Kavoom disabled until I can get keyclone to pass all my keyboard keys. atm only esc and enter are passed. Any ideas?

Sorry, I am not understanding your post. What is the problem?

KavoomKM and Keyclone work well together. There is a short lag during the unloading of Keyclone if you do not minimize Keyclone to an icon first. Sometimes Keyclone will not exit properly and I have to kill the process. KavoomKM works well regardless of which keys I pass or do not pass using Keyclone in my experiance.
