not sure how your physical setup is, but try to get your 2nd keyboard above or ahead of your primary, and use keybinds on easily found keys, like the "direction" keys, keypad's Enter, Zero, and Delete key. Re-position your monitors in a "V" pattern to you if possible, so it makes it easier to eyeball both screens. Position second mouse on left side and practice surfing the net w/ your left. After some serious time (im in my 3rd year as a dualboxer), your eyes and both hands will learn to sync powers on two screens at the same time lol...... practice practice practice

your 2nd toon will be completely slaved to your primary in movement. So always have the primary targeted and on follow. Generally the times your left will be leaving WSAD will be -
*applying/syncing powers for secondary w/ primary using mouse
*hitting a "bind" key on your secondary keyboard for a specific power or targeting primary
*if your secondary gets stuck or out of position and have to manually move character
the movement equation & tasking is generally removed from the secondary, that takes out ALOT of burden. If you need the secondary to bump up closer during combat, press both left & right mouse buttons and it'll scoot closer (ie for pbaoe or if you're meleeing). You'll have to reset "follow" to move w/ primary again.
Simple keybinds i have on my secondary are the direction arrows. Reserved for targeting and direct support to primary
Left arrow - target primary thru team member select (can do this thru key remapping option or doing /bind leftarrow team_select "whatever # your primary is under)
Down arrow - Follow
Right arrow - Aid Other
Up arrow - Stimulant
hopefully some of these techniques will hasten your dualboxing experience
Welcome back. Look forward to teaming with you @ sometime. Never had before, but hoping to.
I'm a tad late, but welcome back, Phire.
