[[Repeater]] is a part of ISBoxer that is responsible for '''1-to-1 Key and/or 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 Key|Mapped Keys]], so it is also somewhat typical to be used most of the time.

−
: 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 best fix is to enure that all windows are in the same resolution, which can be done with a new [[Window Layout]] that includes the Instant Swap option or has all windows the same size.

; 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).

Editing a Repeater Profile

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.

Options

Editing Repeater White/Black list
  • 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
  • The Cursor positioning mode option can help mitigate mouse broadcasting issues if your game windows are in different resolutions, for example by scaling to fit each window. Note that ideally the game windows should be in the same resolution, or the GUI elements will probably not line up for you to broadcast to.
