I'm curious what ISBoxer/Inner Space can do that HKN & Keyclone can't. I don't doubt there is something, but I'm genuinely curious. So far I've found HKN has been able to do everything, and more, than the other programs.

I've never used HKN, so I only know what I've seen discussed here but the big perks of IS/ISBoxer

Instant pip swapping.
Simple keymapping via a GUI tool (ISBoxer).
Virtualize configuration files that allows you to run ONE WoW install and retain settings for each instance (toon).
Native support for G keyboards (and lights to indicate status)
Easy Mouse broadcasting / Stupid easy casting of AoE target spells (Blizzard, Hurricane, Death and Decay, etc)
40 second wizard to get up and running with FTL.
Easily flexible window layouts.

HKN is like a programming language, it's a very powerful tool and once learned a very easy one to manage... but it's a scripting tool none the less. With HKN you can accomplish anything you can imagine for boxing, I haven't heard of anyone saying you can't do something with HKN.

I've never setup PIP with HKN, but I have done mouse broadcasting. Mouse broadcasts with HKN were reasonably useful, but I found that they wouldn't always work - at times I would see dropped clicks, missed actions, etc. Overall I'd give it a 90% accuracy on the mouse broadcast which was amazing compared to the other tools I'd used before Innerspace.

Keyclone is of course out of the box, easy to configure, and easy to setup. I found the PIP speed to be disappointing but didn't know any better way. Mouse broadcasting was useful for NPC dialogs, anything that had 3-5 seconds to deal with it... it wasn't viable for combat and wasn't viable for doing things fast. If I was patient it worked, but overall left me wanting.

Innerspace has the fastest PIP swaps I've seen to date, I haven't heard anyone ever challenge that either, the .5ms swaps just can't be beat. With mouse broadcasting being 100% accurate and 100% instant as well. No waiting for the mouse to broadcast around, no waiting for anything.

Setting up Innerspace used to be challenging, now it's really a lot easier than KeyClone.

I've been meaning to test and document this by setting up a "virgin" wow account, no addon's, no macro's, nothing. I believe I could drop Jamba into a virgin wow folders addons directory, run the wizard in InnerSpace and setup a 5 box team and be playing in under 1 minute.

No macro's to be setup by hand.
FTL Configured.
PIP Configured.
Follow Configured.

A battle ready 5 box in 1 minute from installing 3 pieces of software besides WoW.... (Jamba, Innerspace, and ISBoxer.)
