An Excellent KVM Switch

According to my experience, this KVM switch is perfect for computers with multiple monitors. The switch is easy to set up, and the cables are well made and reliable. The switch is also very intuitive and easy to use, making it a breeze to switch between computers and monitors. The only downside to this switch is that it can be a little pricey, but the quality and convenience of the product are definitely worth the investment.

Pros
  • Efficiently controls up to 16 computers from a single console.
Cons
  • Requires additional cables to connect to computers, which increases overall cost and setup time.

Missing cables in KVM switches

First, the product itself is exactly what I need and works well. The reason I give it three stars is because it doesn't come with six USB KVM cables. I would return it but Revain is now taking 1-2 months to ship this product which is just not the time frame required. I could have bought it from another seller, but the additional cost of the product and shipping would have been more than if I had just bought six more KVM cables. I am an avid Revain customer and am disappointed with the quality…

Pros
  • *** FRONT USB port - for system upgrades and general peripherals. Fully compatible with USB 1. 1
Cons
  • Very expensive

Be ready to break

This unit is behaving strangely after 5-6 months of use, I've swapped out a keyboard and mouse, I've tried a Install driver update that failed to install , contacted tech support for help and was told that iogear will replace the device under warranty after they received the defective device while .ki with 14 attached to this switch connected PCs should get by?

Pros
  • Supports both USB and PS/2, VGA computers
Cons
  • Slightly dented
