    Default IS boxer or Keyclone, which is better?

    I used to dual-box many moons ago. I stopped because it had a few bugs in it. Basically at every attack I had to hit 3 macro's then proceed to attack. The bugs were that %50 of the time the slave wouldn't target/follow, etc. This was in the new stages of keyclone. Anyway, I stopped. I watched a vid on someone setting up IS Boxer and it looked very nice.
    So any opinions on which program is better? I am full on arena/pvp so I can't waste time checking the slave on every key tap. Has much improved in the past year?etc..
    Thanks in advance.

    They both work great. Look at each one's features and see which one supports the things you want to do. They are both (by all accounts I've read) solid products that have been used effectively by many people.

    IS Boxer offers a lot more then Keyclone, and is regularly updated/improved. But it is a subscription model. The key features which KC doesn't have are quick/accurate mouse broadcasting, instant window swaps, the flexibility of mapped keys (current window, vs all without current, vs any combination of toons, classes etc as the target of an action), repeater regions (which are great for healing) and automatic FTL (a strong assist method).

    Keyclone is as good as anything for straight key broadcasting. And it is a one time fee, with a license that will last forever. I boxed with it for over a year, and love the product.

    But I eventually moved to IS Boxer, it offers me more.

    I am affraid that wooden dowl rods is actually where it is at. I am interested if anyone who has a pipe organ console that is "hand air pumped" getting in contact with me to help automate pressing multple keyboards with the ease of pulling out stops.

    ISboxer has my vote by a landslide.

    New features all the time since Lax is constantly working on the thing. I love it and couldn't ever see myself multiboxing without it!

    Since this is the most commonly asked question, we should just make a sticky, that lists what each of our users uses, and have an explanation of pros/cons of each

    Good Idea.

    I've been using many tools before, Keyclone, Autohotkey, and Hotkeynet (even all 3 at once or combinations of the two. Hence the names of my Mage team, lol) trying to achieve the perfect set-up, each tool compensating for what the others couldn't. But it simply gets too inefficient to have to maintain all that especially with multiple teams. I was looking forward to Mojo but from what I've heard that was discontinued.

    But I finally gave in and purchased ISBoxer without even trying the free 7-day trial first. It's by far the best 10 dollars I've ever spent in my life. If there was only ONE reason for which I would recommend ISBoxer, it would be the repeater regions. I can now mouseover/clique heal from the point of view of any of my characters, and the set-up and launch is just so much easier. The FTL makes everything a breeze and you no longer even have to make custom macros just for every new spell that you learn unless you have some very specific need.

    And no, no one paid me to say this. But thanks Ualaa for the encyclopedias of useful ISBoxer knowledge you've posted on here. I put you as my referral. Vancouver ISBoxerers ftw?

    Same boat as most other posters here - Keyclone is a great product of which I have nothing bad to say about it, and is a good choice for less complex setups, but the power, versatility and configurability of ISBoxer has made running my 5-toon teams almost indescribably easier.

    I'm always finding new and interesting ways to make use of the power of ISBoxer to make 5-boxing even easier.
    ...for when one toon just isn't enough...
