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

great!

As described.

very good product.

Works great!! Allows me to use one keyboard one mouse and one monitor easily.

Works great. We have two laptops and use one monitor and keyboard with this switch.

Ill be honest, I actually havent used it (the GCS42U)yet, but I called IOGEAR tech support because I was having trouble with the I did buy (GCS32U). It turns out the GCS32U doesnt work well with a wireless Keyboard and Mouse that uses a single USB connection. They state that this (GCS42U) does. Hope this helps someone to not go through the pain I did...

Works very well

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.

everything worked (b/w a Linux and XP machines), but... the video image got blurred - apparently that what makes a good KVM switch a good KVM switch. Looks like this isnt one.

I purchased this little box to switch between my Win XP desktop computer and my Win XP laptop. I have a USB keyboard and USB mouse. Unlike some other KVM boxes out there, this little guy switches very fast. It switches in about 1 second. I read that some others switch over in 6 seconds - yikes. That would drive me crazy. I use both computers while I work so I am constantly switching between PCs. I dont use the monitor switching though, so I cant comment on that. The button to switch between PCs is the circle black button in the top center of the unit. A red light tells you which PC is currently hot, which is handy. My only wish would be that I could get a remote, so I wouldnt have to stare at this huge box all day. Id prefer to hide it away, and get a smaller remote that I can use to switch PCs with.
