Keyclone does not work with Everquest unless you start fiddling with yet another piece of software.

Autohotkey is too complex for me.

I never got Multibox or Synergy to work over my network.

EQwindows and other software apps constantly get broken by patches.

It just never works the way I want, so I am going all hardware from now on. I want to spend more time playing and less time troubleshooting on forums.

The only software app that I have used extensively was Xylobot: not for its complex macro-ability (I know it got used for all sorts of illegal stuff) but for the fact that it had a feature that kicked ass for the way I box: it reads the EQ logfile and then can trigger a keyboard macro of text. So all I had to do was make a social for my main with some text like "/group Nuke em, guys!", then set up my boxes to react on this text trigger or not. Totally customizable for what you wanted each box to do, and I just needed my own keyboard for it. Well, and 6 computers, since there is no way to do this with several instances on the same comp, I think.

Off course in the end some EQ patch broke this app too and the maker stopped supporting it. So back to hardware.
