Intellitype problems

February 25, 2006 3:58:35 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
I recently started using Multiplicity and found a problem with Microsoft Intellitype. It works fine on the primary until I move the secondary and then back to the primary, then it quits. It works great on the secondary even after switching back and forth. As anyone see this issue?

I guess I spoke too soon. I uninstalled Multiplicity in favor of a KVM. Well the KVM I had to send back, due to problems with DVI outputs. Anyway I have installed Multiplicity Pro on my:
laptop (secondary)
desktop (primary)
server (secondary)

Well the Intellipoint works fine on the primary, but not on the secondaries even when I switch. IntelliType works fine on the primary until I make a switch to a secondary and then it quits working on all machines.

IntelliType Pro 5.50.661.0 - Wireless Natural Multimedia Keyboard (USB)
IntelliPoint 5.50.661.0 - Laser Mouse 6000 (USB)

I will also be testing Synergy to see if it will work, but I am hoping that Stardock will resolve this otherwise I may have wasted 69.95

There's obviously an issue with IntelliPoint/Type. I just uninstalled Multiplicity and gave a try to Synergy (1.2.8) on SourceForge with flawless operations so far. No more IntelliPoint/Type mouse or keyboard issue! Now, Synergy's requires a bit of configuration to make it work properly but it also happens to be more featured than Multiplicity (not the Pro version). The only thing to keep in mind is that Synergy support only 2 monitor. All that to say that i'm disappointed that Stardock couldn't come up with a solution regarding IT/IP for a product that costs 40$/70$ when a freeware does it flawlessly (so far).

Now, i'm not bashing on Stardock because I do sincerely believe they're a great innovative and very community-oriented company. I'm only disappointed that after 5 months (since October release), they could have come up with a more stable release of Multiplicity on SDC, considering we have extended few bucks from our pockets to get it.

No offense intended but please, take note.

The feature I use the most in MP is the copy and paste between PCs. I don't think Synergy does that yet [and too lazy to Google it].

And since I use the Stardock skinning apps (and play GalCiv2) I'm OK with waiting for one app or the other . . as long as I get *some* updates.

Actually C & P of clipboard works just fine in Synergy, as with Multiplicity "basic" edition. File copy doesn't seem to be supported yet, although i'm also too lazy to look for it

FYI, with build 1.04[b].003 (03/03/06), IntelliType now works very well. No more of the massive lag issue on the secondary machine.

Sorry, I meant IntelliPOINT (not Type). Darn products branding!

The reason MP had this problem is because MP (unlike other products) supports the tilt wheel on the secondary machine.

If you do still find windows with scrollbars are scrolling horizontally, tilt wheel support can be disabled in 1.04 via the advanced settings option (on the system tray icon menu)
