As cliché as this sounds, long time listener (well reader), first time caller (umm…poster)

I’ve stopped playing WoW for close to two year now, but am thinking about getting back into it again, but this time around, as a Multiboxer.

I had been weighting out the pros and cons of software vs. hardware solutions for some time now. I am leaning on the hardware route because of rumors (be it true or unfounded), of possible leaks into getting hacked. In addition to avoiding any possible issue of violating terms of service, hardware just seems like the way to go.

It seems Vetra multicaster/switchcaster is the hardware of choice, but is there a cheaper solution? (outside of duct tape and a lot of old keyboards). I’ve read several times of people using late model keyboard and mouse that used receivers, and by syncing them together, they were able to “broadcast” this signal to multipliable computers at the same time. However no one ever post which company or model works. I’ve tried this using the Logitech unifying receiver and I know this doesn’t work.

Additionally, are there any “mainstream” companies that make KVM switches that perform the operations of “broadcasting” (multiple signals to multiple computers at the same time)? Or perhaps name of the type of devices I should be searching for on newegg or tigerdirect?
