IOGEAR 2-Port Compact USB VGA KVM with Built-in Cables GCS42UW6 (Black) Reviews
| 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Good KVM for the money... just one caution..., By This review is from: IOGEAR 2-Port Compact USB VGA KVM with Built-in Cables GCS42UW6 (Black) (Personal Computers) This KVM works well. It's simple and easy to set up. To address some of the other reviews on this product, I've had no issues waking up my PCs out of standby and it hasn't yet locked up on me. Nor have I found any issues with regards to video. Note that there is no audio support and no switching supported via key presses (you have to press the button on the unit itself). That said, it's a cheap, reliable product that does its job well.One caution though... take note that this product uses only 1 USB plug for each computer that it's hooked up with. Thus, it serves as a type of 2-port hub. This is very convenient in one sense, as it doesn't hog up your available USB ports. You just have to be sure that the port has enough power for the switch (which does light up when your computer is on), your keyboard, and the mouse. I have a Logitech Illuminated Keyboard and an iGesture Touchpad that I used with this device and I had a lot of issues initially with the Touchpad not being...

It seemed like exactly what we needed, a nice, simple switch with a big button and no special key sequences required to switch between two machines that share a single monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse.Unfortunately it doesn't work reliably. Sure, it will switch a few times, maybe even a dozen, before locking up but for us it ALWAYS locked up eventually. When it does the keyboard and mouse are left in an unpowered state leaving you only one option - a hard reset of the computer. Removing and replacing the cable to force a USB enumeration does not help. Sometimes even the video goes dead. To IOGear's credit their tech support is easy to reach and answered the phone quickly. The people there seemed knowledgeable about their products but they had no suggestions that could resolve the KVM problems and finally suggested that we return it for a... Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  Combining mouse and keyboard into single ouput..., This review is from: IOGEAR 2-Port Compact USB VGA KVM with Built-in Cables GCS42UW6 (Black) (Personal Computers) As far as switching between 2 PCs are concerned, the product works.However... this model combines mouse and keyboard into single output plug -- I'm not sure if this is a good idea. Yes, it frees up an extra USB port on the PC. But in my experience, all the other USB ports on the PC are rendered unusable. I'm using a powered USB hub, a flash drive and a printer plugged separately into 3 open USB ports -- all were unrecognizable. After unplugging the KVM switch, they all work fine. Note: the GCS42UW6 does not include audio port or remote switch, and no hot keys. UPDATE: The IOGear 2 Port USB Cable KVM Switch with Audio and Mic GCS72U (Black) model costs slightly more but provides 2 separate USB output plugs for mouse and keyboard. Also includes a wired remote toggle switch. Currently using it at the... Read more |
