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.

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.
