World-of-warcraft – Using one wireless mouse for multiple computers: WoW 5 boxing

world of warcraft

I have a friend who's wanting to five box for WoW. He's been using a keyboard/mouse switch/signal multiplier, however it has proven to be not what he needs. He was looking at getting five sets of the same keyboard/mice to use around the office, then when playing wow, hook up all the receivers to the 5 different WoW PC's. So my question is this :

Is it possible to use 5 receivers for one mouse/ 5 receivers for one keyboard if all the keyboards are using the same frequency/ all the mice are using the same frequency?

If this cannot be done, some software/hardware solutions would be great.

He could try with the excellent software Synergy. It works very well between different computers and even different operating systems, sharing the same mouse and keyboard across all screens.

I wouldn't know if it's useful for full-screen games but he could try.
