The best I can come up with is a "keyboard fork" - send your keystrokes to two different computers, either KVM-switch style, or actually duplicating them - but that would mainly be a toy. Got any better ideas?
I used to play a certain MMO (We'll call it MoM) and I had two accounts and I would dual-box characters using a key-cloner software. Since it was all done on one computer, I didn't have to have hardware set up to accomplish the effect. If I had used two computers instead, something like this might would have been my solution to the issue. Yes, others exist and I'm sure you're going to bring them up in your followup, but this COULD have been used as a solution, and probably a simpler one for the less computer-absorbed.


Legal use, and that "toy" would have been part of one of he biggest games of all time.
