Pwnboxer or ISBoxer?

[Littleburst]

I got ISBoxer up and running smoothly after a few mishaps and misunderstandings. It's complex and not at all intuitive or user-friendly, but man does it work well once you get it going.

It has all that Pwnboxer has and so so much more. Seems to be a lot more stable too. Tons of features. Yeah I'm gonna stick to ISBoxer for a while that's for sure.

It can definitely be a pain to get it going. Gave me atleast 2 headaches before I got it going. Being a complete noob when it comes to software stuff though. Thank god there's a channel that can help out

Enjoy it, I definitely did.

Isboxer.

I started with innerspace before isboxer came out, and I will say the level of support Lax gave me and continued to give me while I multiboxed was beyond amazing.

[Ualaa]

I started with it, after using Keyclone for about a year.

Made a bunch of modifications, without really understanding the program.
Trying to have it work, very similar to my KC set up.
But checking use FTL Modifiers, for a lot of stuff was not a good idea.
Those are supposed to be for three mapped keys only, with everything else as 'default'.

A fair bit of support from Lax.
I believe the thread was 30 odd posts of.. I have this issue and this is how my config is set up.
Lax even asked for a copy of my toolkit file.
Which took six or seven posts, because I was clueless about putting it onto pastebin.com or a similar site.

Eventually got it all working.

Asked a bunch of questions over time.
How could I do this or that.
Always fast, accurate and friendly advice on how to accomplish whatever.

Eventually wrote my IS Boxer Guide, based mostly on Lax's instruction on how I would accomplish something.
But dumbed down to a right click here, select this option, left click there kind of deal; easy to follow.

A lot of it is auto included in the wizard now.
As are requests from others, plus anything Lax likes such as Clickbars, Video Feeds, etc.

Overall, very happy with IS Boxer.

I haven't used Pwnboxer yet but i've used Keyclone and ISboxer and from what I read it seems PB is closer to Keyclone than ISboxer.

In any case, here's the summary I wrote about ISB and KC when i made the switch:

PWNBoxer is more for someone not used to multiboxing period. Even somewhat new to the game, granted if you non't know the mechanics of a game, shouldn't multibox at all till you know it :P However, it did cover what I needed for the year or so since I started boxing. IS Boxer covers alot more, makes alot more available, I mean the selective repeater zones?!?!?!? INGENIOUS!

Yeah I'd have to agree since starting out with Pwnboxer worked out very well for me too. I knew WoW fairly well, had a couple of alts and transfered to make my first team with PB.

Now, with a better understanding of multiboxing in general, ISBoxer is the choice for me, with all the features and configurability that comes with that program.

But for a beginner, yeah, Pwnboxer is a good alternative to start out with. The user interface is easier to get started with I think, and there aren't as many options.

HotKeyNet and ISboxer are both superb.

Still using ISBoxer and gotta say, just got my main team to 90, and now working on my Pally DK team. Now i'm not one for PVP so i'm not going to run them till I feel comfortable, however doing bloodfurnace right now and sure a couple wipes but thats due to macro imperfection, and or gear. I setup Death Grip on a Round-Robbin, and Death and Decay on a "Next Click". Did it in seconds, and got it working with ease. Gotta say that in the Year and 7 Months I've been using ISBoxer, I continue to be impressed. I still had Pwnboxer active when I switched over, and I found that after using ISBoxer, I had come to be accustomed to the advanced features, that Pwnboxer just couldn't cut it for me. I even had the update before my account went inactive, and I think some of the changes allowed for a form of click regions similar to ISBoxer, but nowhere close to the accuracy and efficiency of the VideoFX feature with repeater passthrough.

My official Rating
Pwnboxer 3/5 Stars
Due to its ease of use for simple boxability, mouse repeater lacks in accuracy and experienced bugs in it.

ISBoxer, 5/5 Stars
Due to its advanced features, fast window switcher, video FX feature, perfect mouse repeater, ability to turn on and off mapped keys and global repeater within wow without the need to tab out (or mouse over to another monitor). And the ability to get a free trial.

Overall:
Both cost around 50$, one offers 10x the functionality. You do the math. Would you prefer a Brick Cell Phone or a smart phone with internet abilities, texting, tweeting, 3D Gaming, need I go on?

Nice thread, I had asked a question about PWNboxer in another but this pretty much cleared it up. I have been watching Tims Vids on youtube due to him being one of the most up to date multi-boxer vid uploader. He seems like a nice guy but something was just so off about him. Now I realize it, he isn't really nice at all. He's just a marketer!

Thanks for all the info here, this thread is golden. Would make a nice sticky for the new multi-boxers confused about which program to use. Being an experienced veteran allows you an information database years old. Being a newbie such as myself, in terms of software you really don't know which way to turn.

When you have a guy like Tim mass marketing PWNBOXER and maybe if an inferior product. For a new person, that would be the first boat they board on this journey that is multi-boxing.

I personally had no idea what so ever about any other software besides pwnboxer. Tim is everywhere that WoW is. If I hadn't done the research for myself before a purchase. I most likely would of bought pwnboxer and that would of been the end. With that being said, there are a numerous amount of individuals who won't do that homework and be sold immediately without a second thought.
