Easy switch between laptop and desktop

Productivity booster for working at home! I bought this KVM because I often work from home on my laptop and wanted my full size keyboard/mouse to be more productive at home and also use two screens (an extended desktop is a major productivity boost!), like i do it at work In and setting were flawless. I am using a USB mouse with a PS2 adapter. The ports on the KVM are fairly tightly packed which made plugging in the PS2 mouse adapter quite difficult, but it fits and works. Now I can use my…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

Good, but. The best in computers and accessories

After purchasing this KVM switch at home, switching between desktop and laptop is so easy. I can use the same large keyboard and monitor and listen to music from any device. The mouse (Intelli) often gets stuck. Initially, I turned off or reset the computer. I have now found that reinstalling (disconnecting and reconnecting) the mouse cable on the KVM helps. Good buy for the price.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Security

Iogear KVM Switch - Cables and Connections

This is my second Iogear KVM Switch and they both work great. It's a great way to work between two computers with one monitor, mouse and keyboard. Other brands were very slow to switch between computers and had issues with my 24" Dell monitor (I had to disconnect KVM and connect a keyboard and mouse directly to one of the PCs, then reset the screen resolution and reconnect KVM), but Iogears are very fast and without crashes. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Great KVM Switch Computer Accessories & Peripherals

This KVM switch is a great compact product. Not only can you use the keyboard and mouse, you can also use the speakers. I just plugged it in and it worked. No software required. Hot switching (by default - pressing the Scroll Lock button twice) is instantaneous.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Socket required

Works right out of the box

Easy to set up and works the first time. The only downside was the audio cable, which was a bit short for a 17" widescreen laptop, and I had to use an extension cord since the monitor is on the opposite side of the computer. No big deal, it works fine.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Great device at a great price!

My home desktop feels great "ergonomic" (big screen/good keyboard/mouse). When it comes to working from home on a work laptop, I'd rather not use the cramped laptop screen/keyboard. I want the same ergonomic feel. So the search for a cool, affordable KVM begins. My search ends here. Kudos for the PS/2 support for the console (I have a 2 year old desktop and want to reuse the hardware) when using USB to connect to my desktop/laptop. Kudos for minor desktop clutter. The daily hassle of connecting

Pros
  • Durable surface
Cons
  • Damaged
