Keyclone vs ISBoxer - my experience

[celticlad94]

This review has just convinced me to Buy ISBoxer, the problem when I pvp'd with keyclone was screenswapping which would take 2-3 seconds and usually be the cause of my death. I get paid on the first of August and will be investing in a subscription.

I just have one question, is the transition from Keyclone to ISBoxer easy?

I just have one question, is the transition from Keyclone to ISBoxer easy?

The first time i screen swapped was by mystake, i clicked the slave window expecting it to take focus (as in keyclone) but with ISBoxer this actually brings it to the main area.
I saw the screen flicker for a millisec and there was the classic WTF moment when you think to yourself, 'what just happened'?
then i realized the screens had swapped.

Transition from Keyclone to ISBoxer is not difficult, but can require a bit of work if (like me) you don't want to use the default keymaps generated by the ISBoxer wizard.
There is a 7-day trial version, so feel free to use that to test it (what i did) and i would suggest you use the wizard anyway and make sure everything works with the default keybindings (clicks broadcast successfully, layout regions work, etc, not actually downing bosses)
Then, copying some of the wizard-created keymaps, add your own customized ones.

If you had no problem at all with setting up Keyclone (which is simpler) you should be able to manage ISBoxer.
There is also a document from Lax on how to migrate from Keyclone to ISBoxer, which explains the different naming conventions and a few workflows. From memory you get to download it when you fill in the application form for ISBoxer or sometime during the install (it's somewhere on the forums here as well)

Also, (and i found about it after, but would have referred Ualaa for it, sorry mate) there is a great post on how to configure ISBoxer here:

Biggest recommendation -- just start from scratch.

Forget everything you know about your keybindings, start with the wizard and begin adding as you go. Its best to just pass the 1through = keys anyways imo, as you can fit tons of stuff there.

Things you will want to setup with isboxer is your keymaps, and also repeater regions.
Repeater regions require some sort of clicking unit frames ie: vuhdo, grid + clique, healbot, or normal raid frames + clique.
