If you can find a way to split USB (not a trivial task) then you could use a N52 on multiple units. Practically speaking, no.
An easier way would be to go with a pair of wireless receivers and a wireless keyboard. They make some small keypad sized units that I have detailed on the hardware forum.
I’m getting ready to do a 5box setup under Xzin supervision to ensure a smooth roll out. I will share my Budget version when finish in the next two (max 3) weeks. Looks like it will be under 3k, not as fancy and well done, however the machines themselves are cheap and beefed up enough to handle War hammer in case the future lands me there. So you could even go cheaper then that on PC hardware but you would be limited to wow and older mmos only (excluding Vanguard, EQ2 as requirements are high).
Just a general heads up: If you are thinking about boxing 5 or more, roll on Magtheridon. There are about 5 of us so far! At least 30 accounts between us :)
Indeed, what town would you like to raid today? When we hit 70 Iron Forge is in trouble. If we don't lag the server into melt down first.Quote:

About 99% complete. Computers, UIs, remote on/off switches, cooling upgrades, electrical upgrades, custom chair, custom desk, custom monitor array, custom monitor switching system and a whole lot more is done. Just a few final tweaks remain. I don't want to rush it, $150 a month is wasteful if I don't actually play. Right now, Zins are 60, locks are 21.
Ordered a second 8 port KVM for individual control (more reliable than synergy and I disliked 10 kbs and 10 mice on my desk). I will not need them in combat so the very small delay is fine.
So, now from 1 kb, I can control:
Mage 1
Mage 2
Mage 3
Mage 4
Priest 1
Lock 1
Lock 2
Lock 3
Lock 4
Priest 2
Mages+Priest
Locks+Priest
Mages+Locks+Priest
with the mouse or keyboard.
This took 7x Vetras Multicasters, 12x Y-keys, 2x Vetra 8 Port KMs, 2x X-keys Pro, 2x X-keys sticks, 1x X-keys Desktop, Foot pedals, and A LOT of wires :) But damn if my controls aren't as granular as possible.
I dident completely read everything, well i dident read much any of it, but i have a quick question...
insted of running 5 computers or 5 monitors of wow
couldent you just run 5 applications of wow at the same time, and do what you did? (5 screens just smaller to fit the screen all on the same monitor)
Don't be a dick. It's unnecessary.Quote:

His hardware solutions are far more versatile than what can be accomplished on one computer with software. Read what he took the time to post and you'll understand this.Quote:

I definitely want to see some screenies when you've got the new system working to your satisfaction. :D
Switching to the locks or locks and mages (for x healing).
