IOGEAR 2PORT Compact KVM PS2 PC W/ Built-in 6FT Cables

Comment:
It worked fine. Switched between computers in about 2-3 seconds. One thing went wrong 3 months in (i dont know what) but I was normally able to turn of a single of the computer systems and run the second (had my gaming rig on 1 and my media/school computer on 2) but all of a sudden whenever i would turn off my school laptop the energy to the switch would go away even though this wasnt the case vice versa. I ended up possessing to switch my gaming rig to 2 and my college computer system to 1 so that the switch would have energy. I would advise this product. One thing in the undesirable of my mind says I just had terrible luck and got a faulty 1. With that in thoughts I'd even buy a different if I required it.

Functions suitable out of the box no configuration and switches quite rapidly. Other KVM switches I've utilized have a three-four second delay for the mouse and keyboard to pick up. This one particular doesn't have that delay. It didn't look to like a USB mouse with a PSǘ adapter feeding my Fedora Linux laptop. It worked okay on my WinXP machine but when I switched more than to a thinkpad running Linux, the mouse wouldn't respond.

It works with a USB mouse to PSǘ adapter - ??????????? It does not operate with a USB keyboard to PSǘ adapter. So-named dapters for USB KBs to PSǘ adapters = ripoff! Manufacturer Response:Thank you for deciding on IOGEAR sorry about your knowledge. If you have a USB keyboard and mouse, I would suggest you to use our GCS632U that’s a pure USB KVM with hotkey switching. That would save you from the problems of using those USB to PSǘ adapters that don’t operate all the time. I have attached the GCS632U newegg link for your reference. If you have any further query, please feel free to contact our tech support at 1龶ꏚ-4327 and we would be glad to assist you.

easy to configure if you just have two boxes you want to share a kb, mouse and monitor for. Operates with each MS Server 2000 and 2003. No hiccups. no button on unit to switch, you usually have to use the scroll lock button on the keyboard to switch.

Functions flawlessly. Incredibly delighted with this KVM switch. None

1. Switch with computer systems on or off. two. BIOS is offered on startup. 3. Cables are lengthy adequate to put the switch below-desk. 3. No pushbuttons, hit Scroll Lock twice. 5. I can't believe I place off purchasing one of these. Your personal computer might start to the wrong desktop resolution if it's not active when it's began. The option is to switch to the personal computer that's being started. If you forget, restart the wrong-resolution computer even though it's active, and it will right itself. I use two WinXP machines, 1 fairly new, one that started life with Win2K installed. There seem to be mixed reports about having BIOS accessible, and about starting to the correct screen resolution, but I couldn't be happier. Once you've had a KVM switch you'll never ever go back to a desk complete of keyboards and mice.

Works Great n/a --

Remarkable product, works fast. My old Microsoft USB optical mouse worked completely fine with the included USB to PS2 dongle. Screen switches quickly, and anything is fabulous. Every single couple of weeks every thing would just stop responding and a light on the KVM would flash. I couldn't figure out what brought on this, or how to get it to quit. My only selection was to fully disconnect almost everything and then reconnect everything. Finally fed up, I opened the user manual and discovered out that if you press RShift and the LShift in quick succession it initiates auto-scan mode. Only way to get out is by hitting the space bar. It's so entirely uncomprehensable that I would manage to hit each the RShift and then the LSHift so quite often. Ought to have stopped being a silly man and study the manual in the first spot.

For a easy KVM switch this works perfectly fine and rapidly. Cons, what are those?

Comment:
Operates perfectly with WinXP, Kubuntu eight.04 and Ubuntu 8.04Installs really easily and does not call for any software, configuration or power supply. Switches very easily in between systems. Comes with two fixed cable sets to connect to two systems. Has a single input connector set that you connect your monitor VGA cable, keyboard cable and mouse cable to. Has two green lights to indicate which program is active. A very good basic and solid device that works perfectly. None Only has PS2 connectors for mouse and keyboard and analog 15 pin VGA for video. I don't know no matter if it will take a usb keyboard or mouse with a usb to ps2 adaptor.....

Nothing at all to it...hook it up...and it performs precisely like it's supposed to!I didn't use the mouse port since I was useing a regular mouse on a single Computer and a gaming mouse on the other...no dilemma at all. None...so far. Cables are 6-feet extended...way also lengthy for computer systems sitting side-by-side but I'm certain that's handy for some other configurations.

easy to use, affordable, still operates well except for (see cons). color went negative on a single side - has a greenish, perhaps bluish tint. swapped computer's, color went to other pc. other side ok. I don't know for confident how lengthy i've had the unit. It's in all probability been additional than the 3 yr warranty would cover. seeing as others have had the same concern, I'd be inclined to attempt a different brand.
