IS boxer or Keyclone, which is better?

[Owltoid]

ISBoxer is complicated if you use all the features. But the things it makes painless is usefull to all new boxers (automatic FTL, dynamic macro generation for switching out toons with ease). I know when I was using HKN, which I love, I was still messing around with macros inside of WoW and struggling to do any mixing or matching. ISBoxer solved the problem and made it more enjoyable. I doubt Keyclone does the same.

Though I never used it, I'm greatful Keyclone existed as it was apparently very valuable to the multiboxing community. However, it is outdated. ISBoxer is the new generation. Consider Keyclone a pager and ISBoxer a smartphone. Both useful in their time, but if given a choice, I wouldn't go for a pager even though it's cheaper, the smartphone is just too valuable. Others may disagree. If you do, then you're a drug dealer. QED

I took me a long time to switch to ISBoxer. I have been a subscriber for awhile now. I waited, and waited, and waited and............................... for Rob to update keyclone. Almost a year later, still no updates. Last time he posted anything was toward the end of last year. He made it sound like he was working on something new. Have not heard from him since. I wish he would have let us loyal fans know wtf is going on, oh well.

Now that I have switched to ISBoxer, I don't see me ever needing anything else. I love that i can insta switch screens, I love that I can ground target ae on all at the same time, OR just a few at a time, all from my main window. And just too many other things to list. I held out for KC for a year, I'm loyal like that. But ISBoxer wins the day IMO!

my vote is on isboxer ive used it for almost a year now and no problems at all like ever one else says up dated all the time infact i still need to up date mine

keyclone is wonderfull to but very simple it does what it says clones keys. also rob is great with customer service i called him many times and no mater what he waas doing he answer and fixed the problems asap

isboxer i havent had to call lax yet because of no problem except when his purchase server thing went down

What's better, a car for just carrying your family, or a van for carrying your family and all your stuff..

well it's a subjective question..

Keyclone works great, almost never breaks and is like the Kia of cars, excellent quality, but not loaded with features.

ISboxer is like the Japanese supercar. Very powerful, but difficult to really reign in all of its uses and may at first seem like it's written in Japanese. It's also many times more expensive.

"It's also many times more expensive." ..... eh... not many times more expensive. It depends on how many machines you're going to run, and how long you plan to play WoW. When I first started boxing I had to pay $80 dollars to put keyclone on multiple machines. I also had to put Kavoom on 4 machines to the tune of $60 (Kavoom is KM software).

$36 dollars for Innerspace / ISBoxer would cover those same machines for a year. $90 would cover those machines for 3 years. I can't be positive this is accurate, but I will go out on a limb and say that most boxers don't last that long. Also ISBoxer covers more gaming software. Unless things have changed with Keyclone, once your done with WoW you're done with Keyclone.

So you're really comparing a used car that drives well, to a new car that drives awesome, and you're only paying a FEW extra bucks for the new car.

Lax also has a bunch of bounties on www.isboxer.com.

If you like the software and feel you can contribute to the community, you can get credit for extra subscription time.

If you compare the feature list, to that of other software, imo it's a no-brainer. As in, $36/year (or 13 months, if you mention someone as a referral), is worth it.

For me, the selling points were:
- Automatic FTL without any input from myself.
- Accurate mouse broadcasting, and ability to enable "send next click".
- Instant window swaps.

I didn't even know of the power of Keymaps.
If I had, they would definitely be the first feature on my list of reasons to move to IS Boxer.

There are a lot of options out there to go with, and several free options.
But imo, nothing else comes close.

Im new to the world of Multiboxing, and just started my first team (Paladin + Hunter). I started with ISBoxer and I have to say its plain EASY. Im loving it already

I will bet Ualaa has enough referrals to never pay for IS boxer again. He should be paid by lax as Ualaa I am assuming has sold more subscriptions himself through his write ups than the software has done by itself.

ISboxer is the current generation of boxing software atm. However, I think Keyclone still has and has had the better marketing campaign even though now its inferior to ISboxer.

Keyclone will get the job done, and only cost a one time fee, but ISBoxer has a superior feature set. Keyclone hasnt been updated in a year and doesnt look very active at all.

If I were starting right now, I would go ISBoxer in a heartbeat.

im using isboxer and after reading the guides its easy to handle and very powerful, didnt test keyclone though

Hehe My personal description is Keyclone is like a flat packed furniture from the time sink that is IKEA while ISBoxer is like solid wood furniture, put it in the corner and it works. + you can move the solid wood furniture to another room without breaking all those annyoing bits or ripping the cheap MDF boards...

not that i'm saying keyclone is cheap or gets ripped apart, just that it takes time to set up a new team each time with macros...

Thanks for the clarification, as it sure seemed like you were calling Keyclone cheap crap.

Analogies suck. And while we can appreciate the advances seen in ISB, don't let yourself slide over the line into "neener-neener" bashing of solid products just because you adore your new toy more. Words mean things.
