Controlling 2 pcs with 1 keyboard?

[Littles]

How is this done? I'm talking about the WoW videos with 5 shadow priests all doing the same thing at the same time. I'm trying to do it with 2 accounts but have no idea where to start. Or is it done on one pc in multiple windows?

If your machine is powerful enough, you could use two instances of WoW on one machine. You could also use a KVM switch to connect two computers to a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

There are several ways from what I understand (I am not an expert). KVM switches are one of the ways I read about more often.

but don't kvm switches only allow you to use 1 pc at a time? at least asll of the ones i've ever seen work that way.

Synergy is software that lets you do this, Vetra Broadcasters is another way to do it, as is 2 wireless keyboards (only using the 1 keyboard and recievers at same setting)

I find Synergy works well enough, and two mice...

I second Synergy. Great program. Works across platforms as well. I've got a Mac and PC using Synergy to control both from single mouse and keyboard. I think this would work well for your situation.
