Control two computers at the same time with one keyboard and mouse

Other sites have explained that this is impossible - multiple USB hosts (the PCs) cannot simultaneously access the same USB device, because the protocol is serial. I found "USB servers" which allow multiple PCs to access USB devices (printer, webcam, etc.) but there isn't simultaneous access.

I've looked at PS/2 splitters and there's plenty to connect multiple PS/2 devices to one PC, but not the reverse.

Any KVM switches that aren't switches, but splitters?

All of this for MMORPG greatness? Meh.

with 4 mice and keyboards

interesting and cool, i didn't think there was a software solution for this

There's an amazing solution for you .. works seamlessly on Windows 7 64bit too

synergy or multiplicity will allow you to move the mouse and keyboard control from one computer to another, and keyclone will allow you to control both at once. Google keyclone, the forums on the keyclone site will guide you on how to get everything setup in order to accomplish what you're looking to do.
This is the setup that people use to control multiple wow clients on different computers.
It is worth saying that you honestly dont need to use multiple computers either, you can run multiple instances of most MMO clients from the same computer with reduced graphics and sound on the "clone" clients, while running the main one at full capacity, but multiple computers works fine also.
If you decide to run multiples from one computer, only need the keyclone software.

There is no way, or at least none that I've heard of, to completely clone the keyboard and mouse inputs to multiple machines. When you see videos on youtube of people controling 2+ characters that all do the same thing in an MMO its done with synergy or multiplicity + keyclone, thats pretty much the only way.

keyboard to 2 way switch. one lead out to 3 way splitter that connects to 3 differant computers. the other lead to one computer. you should be able to control 3 at once, or flip switch and control one. you would still need to have 3 keyboards but it should be able to do one at a time or 3 at a time. the same setup for the mouse. that is a guess, any opinions please

There is a really easy way. I multibox wow like this. Buy the desired number of identical logitech wireless keyboard and mice. then connect one set to all the receivers. there is a red connection button on them. it doesn't work so well w the mouse because if things get off by a little it messes everything up. So i use 1 keyboard connected to 4 comps. the mouse controls my main screen. I set a hotkey for target nearest party member and one for follow. then set all your spells to the desired hot keys. for example on your mage 5 could be arcane blast while on your druid its wild growth. so u control your mains movement w the mouse w the others on follow and then use your hotkey target enemy button while all your slaves are following your main and they will all target the enemy then cast your spells. my problem is trying to get this done using a wired keyboard as I got a new G19.

wow honestly, have you ever heard of botting progs? Instead of stressing out about having 2 comps why not have multiple clients ran on same machine programmed to do exactly what you want them to do?
