keyclone: non-free version of multibox

[Shogun]

I believe it's tied to the CPU?

I don't think macros or automation are what we'd be after, but mainly the ability to broadcast modifier keys to all machines, the option to have some or all modifiers on some or all machines at once would also be excellent. Other than that, how is it different to AHK? (which can be used to bot)

I would consider paying for a tool if:

It did what I mentioned before with multipliers, ie alot of flexibility from them.

Did not incorporate anything like automation that could be considered a rule breaker (this is what I dislike about AHK, that grey area)

Has decent support, tutorial on setup etc (even just a notepad/pdf file with a walkthrough on setting it up etc)

A discount if you purchase more than 1 copy would be good, $10 once is fine, but tied to each machine and I'd need 3 currently, starts to add up...

I have no problem with someone charging for something they've created, after all you've spent time and effort to create it, that time is worth something, but, there are free tools that do the same or at least offer similar functions, you need something to make the fee worthwhile. If you can do some or all of the mentioned above, you'd be well on your way to offering those incentives imo

I agree. I am all for somebody profiting from their knowledge, experience and time. But it needs to be compelling. Right now it is $50 for 5 licenses, closed source and can not meet the same functionality as Multibox. Plus no word on support or updates.

If there was a compelling reason to purchase it (it gave an advantage over multibox) then I would consider it a viable tool. As it sits right now, it needs a little more to get to that point, in my opinion.

ok, so on one hand i have people asking for macro capability.. and on the other, no automation. hmmm. how to solve? would a second, free, macro app suffice? (should work with existing macro apps anyhow)

i'll definitely implement key mapping (i've been wanting it for a while) and fix the alt/shift/ctrl issue.

also, your license is perpetual... meaning all future releases will work for you. the license is tied to the cpu, but i do (and have) transfer them upon request, from the originating email... of course. (i really should make a web interface for that)

group discounts? not sure how the web interface would understand that

The best way to solve this and keep half your product off the Wardens hot list is to release two seperate products:

Keyclone

Advanced Keyclone

(Mabey go a step further and give them totally unrelated names so there is no confusion as to which one could get you banned)

Excellent suggestion. Macros generally aren't needed, I just need to be able to map say a key on my KB to ctrl+shift+1 and have it broadcast to all accounts or PCs, but be able to "unbind" it if I choose to, ie choose which keybinds are or aren't sent, or at least which keys and key combinations

I have 2 licenses for Keyclone and would love to be able to send CTRL, ALT, etc across to the other PC.

I just got a 3rd PC, so expect me to get a 3rd license, sometime soon. When I get around to it.

One thing though. Keyclone doesn't work with EQ2. At least I haven't been able to get it to work.

The only thing that I was able to get to work with EQ2 was Synergy.

I think you just misread the poster who was talking about macros. I think he meant just having enough keybindings for the wow client's macros, i.e. the CTRL/ALT/SHIFT issue.

[Notes]

Heya, I bought keyclone last night and after a week of trying around with all sort of coding, this just gave me what I needed!

It rocks Hope the program will be updated with some nice stuff, although it has everything I need atm.
I'm running 5 WoW's on one pc and it rocks, easy...

Just hope it won't get me banned from WoW .. :?:

[Shogun]

Do you run the extra copies of WoW minimised btw? I've not looked into doing that yet...
