    Default Any software keyboard broadcasters that work on MAC AND PC?

    My 2nd box is an Ibook and I use it to play WOW. All of these solutions seem to be PC only. Is there something that will work with MAC as well?

    CloneKeys works on the Mac.

    Here's what I do:

    3 WoWs on the Mac, broadcasted with CloneKeys

    2 WoWs on a PC, broadcasted with Keyclone

    Broadcasting between the machines I handle with Synergy. (Mac broadcasts to PC.)

    I used to run all 5 on the Mac, but even though I was able to maintain 30fps on all windows, it got very choppy at times and my 4 CPUs were constantly pegged at near 100%.

    CloneKeys (Mac only) - http://code.google.com/p/clonekeys/

    Keyclone (PC only) - http://solidice.com/keyclone/index.html

    And you'll need one of these, depending on which machine is your "main".

    The non-main machine(s) uses the normal synergy client, which can be found at: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/

    I found synergy after some digging last night. When it works, it works wonderfully, except for the fact that on the mac I can't use the mouse to look more than a few degrees in any direction before it stops at the invisible screen border.

    The only big problem I have had is that synergy server on my PC crashed once last night and when it did my normal mouse and keyboard stopped working as well. I couldn't close the crash message or do anything and had to force a power down.
