    -Hardware based boxing with input broadcasting: Using a Synchronous Keyboard Mouse (KM) switch to leverage hardware to send inputs to multiple WoW clients. Those WoW clients can be running:
    - on Multiseat Desktops (MDs) all on a single PC via a MD tool like Aster (least expensive option);
    - in Virtual Machines (VMs) all on a single PC via a tool like Virtualbox or VMware (next least expensive option);
    - on dedicated PCs for each client (most expensive option but considered by some to be best);

    Ok I have been boxing for years - simplified x5, using isboxer. Now you have me confused.
    Can you actually repeat that in simple terms ?

    1) I thought Software was banned ? - What am I missing here with you stating, Software based ?

    2) With software you mentioned, is it still going to broadcast, follow etc ? If not, then what is point of it ? Confused.

    Hardware - not sure on the results. Again confused sorry.

    The Policy Update was against the use of Input Broadcasting Software. Not all Software broadcasts inputs... Hardware Input Broadcasting was not banned...

    Things like follow are done safely via addons in the game and not via software broadcasting inputs to the Wow windows. Apparently valid multiboxing Software is typically now only doing things like helping with window management (location, borders, switching, etc) and doesn't send keystrokes or broadcast inputs to the game clients anymore.

    Some examples of the various Multiboxing options since the ToS changes:

    Basic alt-tab, click on, or slightly more advanced "focus-follows-mouse" boxing, or "mouse-over" boxing example: https://youtu.be/B45FL6aOT7k

    Software based tool (like: https://wowopenbox.org/ ) to help manage windows and switching example but does not broadcast inputs: https://youtu.be/s4sCBdkXqUk

    Hardware based example: https://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/...-has-the-power!

    If you want to research more this spreadsheet tab has all the early options that came after the Policy Update (including ways to enable focus-follows-mouse/mouse-over-focus boxing without any external/extra software) with links to tools/examples/videos/etc:
