IOGEAR 2-Port Compact USB VGA KVM with Built-in Cables, GCS42UW6

Nice VGA KVM switch reliable small footprint, sturdy wires. Overall a good value. Why do I like this item? No software to install, this is a electronic switch press a button on the top of the switch and your Keyboard, Mouse, and Video are switched from one Computer to Another. I use a Mac & PC and it works well switching between the two, the only challenge is on the PC where the video has to be on the PC during Boot-up so that it sets the resolution to the screen instead of a default value. But its a minor issue. Setup is nice. 2 Video cables with a USB integrated into the video is provided connect the 1 of each of the video cables to each PC and the video cable from the existing monitor along with keyboard and mouse to the Switch and your all set, Love the fact that there is no software installation required. Had a Belkin switch that required software or had a very flimsy switch that broke inside 2 weeks (paper thin wires) and it was a pain and the switching was inconsistent and slow. This is quite fast (under 5 seconds for it to recognize the keyboard/mouse, video is much less) I also have a 4 usb hub for a pen-tablet and printer, all switch without a problem. Have been using this for almost a month now and I am very satisfied.

Great KVM. Its not simulated so it works with any keyboard and machine. Its reliable and I havent had any lag. Wish the cables in the back were a little softer so that theyd be easier to manage around the desk, but thats just being picky.

When I tried to connect a bluetooth mouse thru an old KVM switch on 2 desktop windows 10 computers, I found that it often dropped connection. Figuring it was old and not technically able to handle bluetooth, Ipurchased this IOGear KVM. Still had the same problem. When I checked the IOGear knowledge base it indicated that only IOGear bluetooth adapters could be assured of working with the IOGear KVM. Turns out that is false. I purchased a new IOGear bluetooth adapter into the KVM and it to drops the connection frequently. I have to switch the KVM from one computer and back to get it to reconnect. I bought both a new KVM and new bluetooth adapter to get this to work. The new setup doesnt work any better than the old one. :(

Money saver on multiple servers

Great product!

Works very well

Cant believe how simple it was to set up and use. And it works great. Switches back and forth seamlessly between my Dell Vostro and HP Compac Elite PCs. And, I am using a wireless keyboard and mouse both made by Logitec but with separate receivers. Ive read somewhere that some people had problems with wireless keyboards and mice but I am not having a problem. Just love this thing!

Have this hooked up to a Win 10 and CentOS box with a second hooked up directly to the Win 10 box for dual monitors. Works perfectly. Keyboard mouse is a wireless Logitech k330 and m215. Switches between the two and doesnt miss a beat. Have the second monitor switched so I can run both CentOS box and secondary Win 10 box each with one monitor. No glitches in any switching situations I can find. I avoided a slightly cheaper KVM that had lots of comments about switching glitches. Highly tecommend. Works as well as any high dollar one if used over the years. Only place where I would have to use something is if the share was between many servers and the mouse/keyboard, but thats a whole different world then. Pros are its tiny size, built in cables making install a snap, and rock solid performance. Cons are one tiny one - if the outputs were on the side, install would be neater,but Im almost ashamed to call that a con. If I do it over for some rrason, Ill definitely go with iogear and probably get one with a tiny a/b switch so I could hide the wires.

these work well but dont have a hotkey. you have to use the button on it. LAME

Switch arrived very quickly and setup was easy and fast. No issues so far.
