Video settings
I keep all video settings at minimum, except for View Distance. View Distance is up a little bit on my main and possibly one other character, but minimum on the rest. I rarely need to play as the other characters, and when I do, I usually don't need to see that far on that window. If I do for some reason, and I can't switch back, then I simply turn it up as needed. There is no need for pretty graphics when multi-boxing -- performance is paramount.

The basic premise of my G15 layout is to use the bottom keys for the most commonly used actions, middle for general combat utility, and top for rare usage (usually non-combat). I try to stick to similar actions for each key between character sets, so my AoE key for example will do Death and Decay with my DKs, Hurricane with my druids, and so on -- targeted AoEs. Many of the buttons have alternate functionality if I press CTRL and/or ALT, for example with my Shamans, the DPS key does not have my healer attacking unless I hold CTRL, and if I hold ALT it will cast Chain Lightning (with CTRL+ALT including my healer in the Chain Lightning). Likewise, other keys will do Round Robin unless I hold CTRL.
Gameplay
Movement
(describe usage of auto-follow, and being able to use mouse and/or keyboard to move as a matter of convenience -- hand positioning)
Combat
(reiterate hand positioning, with focus on combat)
Healing
(describe click to cast configuration, and repeater region)
