Good hardware

I took the advice of a previous reviewer and contacted Iogear before purchasing. After determining that both of my computers had no known issues that could cause a conflict, I placed my order. On behalf of Amazon, I commend them for their excellent shipping speed. With Free Super Saver Shipping, the device was delivered within 3 business days. After reading the instructions and following them closely, the installation was up and running in ten minutes. So far I'm very happy with the…

that were not easy to identify.

The buttons are broken so you have to press to move from one tower to another. that were not easy to identify. I had to go online to read online what keys to press. My other IOGear 2 port had instructions clearly labeled in the documentation that came with it. I'm not even sure if this model had documentation. Possibly opened packaging, returned item. especially since it's broken. (and it's such a pain getting things back.)

THIS is what you were looking for

I am a professional developer and familiar with off the shelf KVM. I was looking for one for home use and was generally disappointed with what I found. The DVI version of IOGear didn't work for me. The IOGear DVI KVMP 4-port switch with GCS1764 audio and cables and the Belkin offering were complete rubbish. Belkin F1DG102U 2-Port Audio KVM Rocker Switch (USB port) But I installed this type and it works great. Switches quickly, intelligent enough to convince a booting computer that the mouse and

Very good - but? fits computers and accessories

Overall this is a very good product. I just can't hear the audio from my second computer. So I still hear the sound from my first computer even when I'm working on it. second.

Works well - know your computer's limitations

I bought this kvm about a month ago and it seems to work quite well. that the documentation is somewhat limited and you should be aware of the limitations of your computer. The documentation doesn't mention this, but it seems to me that the USB signal in the supplied cables goes to the KVM via the VGA connector. Therefore, you need to use the included cables and connect the green end to the KVM switch. Since USB is a serial signal, there's a good chance you could switch in the middle of…
