💻 Enhanced VGA USB Compact KVM Switch - IOGEAR GCS632U 2 Port Review

KVM ordered and received within 2 days. Installed on a desktop computer (Win 10) and a Dell Latitude E5450 (Win7) installed on a Dell docking station. Using a wireless mouse (TekNet M003) with its own wireless adapter and a wireless keyboard (Logitech K520) with its own wireless adapter. Installation took about 15 minutes due to experimenting with the USB ports on the Dell Dock. Had to try 2 different USB ports on the docking station to get this to work. I'm happy to report that although I'm…

I bought this to replace a Trendnet TK-209 KVM 2 port switch. Trendnet worked fine with Vista, but with Windows 7 it didn't maintain the correct resolution for my monitor. For example, if I had a resolution of 1920x1080 and then switched to another computer, when I switched back I found the resolution below 1280x1080 and distorted. I searched the internet and found that the problem is related to Windows 7. I tried to fix it with registry tweaks and software but nothing worked 100% of the time…

Like many devices that are aware of their environment and self-configuring, this device needs careful calculation. It seems that too many people rush to criticize the device and complain. I suspect that much of their frustration stems from the lack of a "perfect" ratio between the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and computer. And by that I mean that I have found two elements of my own system to be faulty, both of which can easily be blamed on KVM. Only it was my problem, not the KVM switch. (It was a

After trying many KVM switches from different manufacturers, I decided for this switch for daily use. The GCS632U is the fastest KVM switch when it comes to detecting my keyboard and mouse. Other switches I've tried add a 2-3 second delay after toggling before KB/M is ready to use, while this switch is almost instantaneous. My favorite feature of the GCS632U is the port selection via hotkeys. Instead of pressing a physical button to switch ports, you can simply press the scroll button twice to…

For several years I have been using Remote Desktop Connection to use my desktop screen, keyboard and mouse on my work laptop at home. This worked very well, with one exception: I couldn't find a way to use the headset on my laptop during online conferences. So based on other reviews I tried this device and it works great. Two quick presses of the scroll lock button and keyboard, mouse and monitor switch between home desktop and work laptop. I don't use the audio part, so I can't comment on…

Fast and easy to use. So far this has been a very good KVM switch. I only use it for USB and haven't tried the VGA or audio options. Very good is that both mouse and keyboard are combined in one USB input for each receiving computer. This frees up an additional USB port that would otherwise be occupied. There is nothing to complain about in terms of the speed with which it switches from one computer to another, it is very fast. This is especially important if you regularly swipe back and forth…
