2 PCs, 2 Monitors, 2 Mice, and 2 Skins for 8-tabling?

[FlopMe]

I've seen a lot of posts relating to using dual monitors, particluarly with the Dell 2001fp, to 8-table the party skins. However, I haven't seen much about using 2 PCs, 2 monitors, and two mice. I've been thinking about buying a cheap 2nd PC for this purpose. It seems like having two mice side by side on a mousepad, one for each monitor would be a great way to 8-table. Has anyone made the switch from one PC to two and liked it better? Are you allowed to be logged on to Empire and Eurobet at the same time using two different PCs? Or is it agreed upon that one PC, two monitors, and one mouse is the way to go? Your thoughts please.

This sounds kind of dumb to me.

you are allowed to be logged-on to all the skins from the SAME computer...so, yes, you are allowed to be logged-on to all of them from different computers too.

you could just use 1 keyboard and mouse to run both computers using a KVM switch. This would be a lot easier.

What would be the point of this? Isn't just having two monitors 10 times easier? I would get frustrated constantly switching mice and keyboards.

I can use two mice on my laptop but only one pointer.

I also find it strange that the idea of making multitabling twice as difficult wouldn't have been brought up earlier...you are a genius!

OK! Bad idea. Move along now. No need to pile on.

I think you should throw in 2 chairs and 2 different pairs of pants.

Two PCs was three years ago. Today it's three. Grabbing the wrong mouse is not unheard of. Slamming the same bonus 3x is common.

if you are going to do this i suggest learning to use the 2nd mouse with your left hand and to not play NL as typing in bet amounts will be tricky and letting go of your mice will delay your actions.

Posted in jest I'm sure but actually true. I have my new computer hooked to my 2001FP and my old computer right next to it still hooked to 2 15" Samsung LCD's.It is NOT an easy way to 6 table. It is, however, good for doubling your porn viewing while 4 tabling.

You bring up the point of having 2 mouses, which I have thought of (but the same system, 2 systems is just dumb let's face it). I currently use a laptop and an external monitor for 8-tabling bliss, but I was thinking what if I had another mouse for my left hand? I can do that fine right now, but the problem is you still only have 1 pointer, so what if I (or someone else with the technical ability) made a program that allowed you to have TWO pointers? It wouldn't be that hard to do, and it might add a lot of functionality. It'd definitely take some time to get used to it, but I would think if you got really good at it it'd be really useful, even with games and such (think about an RTS when you can do 2 things at once...)

I do it both ways. Two computers/2 mice/2 monitors isn't a bad way to go. You can network them for easy file transfers. The mousing is easier for me this way (1 mouse in each hand).

Yes, you can load empire on one and eurobet on the other computer.
