ISBoxer on 2+ computers, how is it?

[3box]

Anyone with experience using ISBoxer on more than one computer?

Pretty smooth experience?

Do you have to use the mouse/keyboard on the other computers for anything(looting etc)?

How does it compare to just using 1 computer?

It works great. At times I have mouse lag on the second computer but it's because something is eating up too much RAM. I got GameBooster. It's a free little program that closes unnecessary programs so you can play games. Other than that, it's amazing. I run 10 accounts across 2 machines (5 and 5) and love it.

i run 2 machines as well, main on 1, 4 slaves on second.
I don't need to move to the second machine to do anything, unless i want to lead from one of those toons.

Looting/skinning is all done with the Interact With TArget keybind. and i have macroed the trade accept button.
Even equipping new gear i sometimes do using Jamba items (say quest reward for single class teams for example)


Compared to a single computer, it's night and day for me, as i'm running old crappy computers.
Now i can fly through northrend without all my toons lagging behind

2x machines here with IS Boxer. It works amazingly well.
3x accounts on my main pc
2x accounts on my older pc.

I use two simply because my main machine can't handle all 5. Contemplating upgrading the cpu in the second machine to to quad core so I can put 3 or 4 on it.

You can use a little utility called Synergy that lets your mouse and keyboard from your main machine control the second machine, you just scroll your mouse off the screen into the next desktop and your controlling it.

I only do it when messing with talents or equipping gear generally. Synergy starts up automatically so I don't ever touch the keyboard/mouse on the second machine anymore. I think there is a better program than Synergy for doing it, but can't remember the name and never got around to trying it.

I have a mixed team like yours Zub, except sub in a warlock for the druid. So it's just tank and everyone else back going pew pew.

Say you have your team break follow while you go up and tank adds/boss.

How do you line up the aoe since your view would be different than the other 4? You're right up on the boss and they're way back. And would the 4 windows on the other computer have to be the same resolution as the main to get that to work?

When the tank dies you wipe and start over, or I guess you'd have to be fairly quick with the other mouse?

And thanks for mentioning Synergy, guess that's what you use Zub?

I use ISBoxer actually.
My second computer is actually about 1,5 meter away, i need to move my chair to get to it >.< (my wife's computer)
i can see the screen if I just turn it a bit though, and i leave one of the AOE targeters as main on that screen so i can position that targeting circle correctly. the second aoe toon usually hits the same spot.
I have added a setview() command so that they both get the same view when i use aoes. (but the direction could be different obviously),

i always spread my 4 toons before i cast, and made sure those two aoers are close by to try and keep the same position

Alright thanks. Going with this config for now, gave up on the 1 computer does all solution.

Now I can spend my night doing keybinds, talent specs, etc. Yay!

I use my desktop and laptop to dual box and it's amazing. I can't use mouse repeating because of different screen resolutions but that's not that big of a deal.

You know you can set rendering size right? then it works like a charm

it works great for me on 2 computers! I only yse 1 Keyboard and one mouse(using input Driector its awsome) very little lag and very good once you get a good setup (looting is easy with IWT)
