Review on IOGEAR 8-Port USB PS/2 Combo VGA KVMP Switch with USB KVM Cables, GCS1808KITU Enhanced for SEO by Gary Stringfield

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far, so good. - External Components

UPDATE: Four months later this thing is solid and a pleasure to use. Much better than the Belkin junk it replaced. This is a good device. The build quality is excellent, a pleasure to touch and hold in your hands. The on-screen management functions are useful and enjoyable. I received all the cables I expected. This is the second one I've worked with. My company bought another one to install in a portable server rack about 3 years ago and this machine was beaten up, sent overseas, disassembled, spent several months in a hot and humid warehouse and then shipped back to the US for servicing . Update the server stack and then go abroad again. This one still works. Docked one star because one of the USB cables that came with the unit broke (mouse or keyboard didn't work) and I killed about 30 minutes trying to narrow it down to the cable. Let's see how this holds up. I will update the review if it messes up sooner than necessary.
