Review on Efficient IOGEAR 16-Port USB PS/2 Combo KVM Switch GCS1716: Simplify Your Workspace by Colin Arcos

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great concept. Fun new and old computers/servers in a rack

Great idea! Connect PS/2 servers and USB-ONLY PCs in the same rack; just use a different cable. My kit included 4 PS/2 cables and 4 USB cables, 4 x 6' and 4 x 10' respectively. Outstanding KVM with programmable display on the port selection screen and the ability to set username and password directly on the KVM console. Local users must bypass this protection before they can even touch the servers. Highly recommended. Robust construction, easy installation.

Pros
  • Easy to use - computer selection via front panel LEDs, intuitive OSD (On Screen Display) and hotkeys
Cons
  • Get the gist
