Self reporting is an exercise if flatuation in my opinion.

Mouse broadcast was something I personally lived without for over a year, and now (even with "Interact with target" keybinds) I can't imagine living without.

I take portals.
I eat fish feasts.
I piss on bonfires.
I click hotbars I don't bother keybinding.
I click-heal on unit frames (OpenRDX + Mousebroadcast)
I use items in my inventory.
I answer dialog boxes.
I select quest rewards.

I do all this, without ever switching which character is the main character. I play 5 as if I played 1, it's really amazing how transparent my multiboxing is with the exception of using 5 guys on /follow. I've even 5 boxed 3 of the 4 wings in Naxx with no problems (didn't do DK since we had only 1 priest in raid.)

And you wonder why I incessantly try to pick your brain Z.

Wonder how viable it would be to just put skills on quickbars normally and click with mousecasting as the primary control method rather than keymaps


edit: And being from Pennsyltucky I definitely need to get things configured because pissing on bonfires is a birthright.

Same here (minus Naxx), and using Octopus for my needs. Lots of viable, free, alternatives to the for-pay stuff.

Well, I got keyclone last night and I must say it is pretty sweet.
It saves so much of the headache of alt-tabbing between the screens to cast every single spell!

I was wondering if someone had any good tips for druid-shaman keybinding that will keep things making sense?
I don't mind writing (simple) macros on my alt account or main account.
Got both toons to 14 last night, and the number of spells is increasing quite dramatically.

Thanks,

I've found with Keyclone...

If I have four windows (quarters) on a screen, PiP swaps between them are almost instant.
If I have five windows (one large, and four small), PiP swaps are slower, but still playable.

I personally have a few different keyclone folders, and a shortcut to each.
Basically just a differing number of Maximizer layouts.
Keyclone (2), Keyclone (3), Keyclone (4) and Keyclone (5).

Mouse broadcasting from Keyclone is functional.
If I'm on my five druid boomkin team, Force of Nature or Hurricane is close enough to the target that it works.
It's definitely not strong enough to reliably take portals, eat fish feasts or select talents across toons.

Use which ever you see fit.

Both have basics, and more. You can only limit yourself by what you don't know how to do with each program.

Since I use Jamba, I can use any program to link all my toons together and do whatever it is I want to do.

I fully support Keyclone and Innerspace. I have not used anything else because both of these programs and the respected authors have helped me with whatever problem and or need I had.

When it comes to the most simple and easy to start up, sure, keyclone probably has IS beat by, say, 10 minutes. You can't go wrong with either program, or any other alternative.

DL the demo of both and try it out, what are you going to lose, 20 minutes of your time testing out each program?

There are plenty of videos/guides showing off both programs.

I wont go out of my way and say "keyclone is better, or IS is better". I like both programs and Authors. :sleeping:

I agree with the above poster about both Keyclone and ISBoxer being very viable solutions. Both have tremendous support and are used by many so someone is always around to lend a hand if needed. I started with Keyclone and enjoyed using it thouroughly, and then I tried ISBoxer. At the time the PiP swap alone was enough for me to change, it really is instant. However having the ability to create and setup macros outside of Wow really was a bonus for me as well. I am sure the difference is negligable once you have everything setup, however that setup was smooth and quite enjoyable to do.

Good luck on your adventures! I know you will have a blast.

Keyclone

Mubox - Never used it, haven't looked into it beyond seeing the website claims some pretty exaggerated things.

Awe no exaggeration, I'm nothing if not Honest. Besides, if something isn't what you want, full source is available and I'm more than willing to change things to meet everyone's needs. Things like mouse cloning, border removing and window repositioning are things I don't need (and can't actually put to use) but they were requested.

Keyclone has a huge following, if you want lots of help and/or are just getting started, IMO, you should go with Keyclone. Once you have your feet wet you can make more informed decisions. You won't really know what the limitations/benefits are until you give everything a try at least once.

Certainly as viable as being a keyboard turning noob is . Some would argue this playstyle, but in the real world even the hardest of the hard core MouseMovers have keyboards bound for movement on some level.

I think for the quickest startup and the newest boxer Keyclone is great. $20.00 one time fee, upgrades for life. From their you can move onto the other softwares as your boxing needs change. I started off with Keyclone and have since moved to hotkeynet which is currently free. Love both. At some point I would like to switch to innerspace but for now Hotkeynet is doing everything I need and I know I will always have Keyclone if I ever need to fall back to. All 3 authors are active in this community and will help you out with anything.

One awesome thing about the support is that Rob is a phone guy. He will talk your ear off. I think that's great cuz sometimes there's only so much you can convey thru the forums. Being able to talk to someone is really nice when you got that one question that you can't figure out and need help immediately. Just don't go calling him at 4am or something cuz he needs some sleep too. lol.
