Repeater
From ISBoxer
Repeater is a part of ISBoxer that is responsible for key broadcasting and mouse broadcasting -- in other words, whatever you type or click is precisely repeated in the other windows. This is typically enabled only temporarily, such as to enter the same password into multiple game windows, or to click through quest dialogs in multiple game windows. However, it is also easier for some people to configure a black or white list for Repeater than to create Mapped Keys, so it is also somewhat typical to be used most of the time.

Editing Repeater Hotkeys
- Show fake cursor in Repeater target windows when mouse repeat is enabled configures whether or not the cursor will be visible in the other windows when broadcasting. This is enabled by default
- The Startup defaults options will set whether Key and/or Mouse Repeat are enabled by default
- The G15/G11 keyboard indicator lights options are special for Logitech G15 and G11 keyboards, and can turn on an M-key light when Key or Mouse Repeat are enabled
Common issues
- Fake cursor appears slightly above where it actually is
- This is usually caused by a bug (e.g. with Lord of the Rings Online), and sometimes related to the "Remove border around main window" option in your Window Layout
- Fake cursor appears stuck in the upper left part of the other window
- This will happen if the other window is not in the same resolution as the current window, and the current window is in a higher resolution. The fix, therefore, is to ensure that all windows are in the same resolution.
- Fake cursor disappears from the other window if moving too far down or to the right in the current window
- This will happen if the other window is not in the same resolution as the current window, and the current window is in a lower resolution. The fix, therefore, is to ensure that all windows are in the same resolution.
- Multiple computers
- Cursor is jittery
- A jittery cursor will happen when multiple PCs have a foreground window, and have Mouse Repeat enabled. This is because the cursor movement on the other PC is fed back to the current PC, which might already have the cursor in another position (due to you moving the mouse while the information is passed back and forth across the network). To fix this problem enable Mouse Repeat only on the current window, instead of all windows. If you get this problem from a Repeater Region, you should make sure that the selected Target does not include multiple active windows (typically it should be sent to 1 specific window, not all of them).
