Computer Keyboard And Mouse Not Responding

This IOGEAR GCS110-4 4-Port KVMP switch is my first purcahse of this type of gear...should have bought one years ago. I had checked out one of the other brands, but the manufacturer's web-site had the same photo and description for two models, very confusing. I am using this switch with three computer, Win7, Win8.1 and a Linux rig. I keep the fourth port open for testing other computers, no need to connect one being tested to a separate keyboard and mouse setup. This switch allows me to easily switch between computers via keyboard shortcuts. I have a Logitech Keyboard and Mouse which share a single wireless USB dongle, plugging the dongle into the keyboard USB port of the monitor area of the switch allows me to use the keyboard and mouse on all computers. I did have to uninstall the Logitech software which allowed for custom keyboard layout (volume up/down, next track, etc.) as it seemed to conflict with the way the KVMP switch emulated Keyboard and Mouse Control...not an issue for me in this case. I am not a hard-core gamer, thus do not have a mouse with 92 buttons on it..more of a FPS and Flight Sim guy here. I like the fact that I can switch the keyboard/mouse, Vidoe and USB separately from the audio, that is I can have music playing on one computer, switch the Keyboard/Mouse, Video, and USB to another computer and still hear the music from the first computer. I have all my external drives and printers connected directly to the Win7 computer working as a server for all my data. I have a USB hub connected to the KVMP input which is accessed by whichever computer I am using for such things as my web-cam, joystick, multimedia card reader, and ID CAC Card Reader. I started taking IT classes and now I can easily do remote access, learned how to access Windows Shared Folders from the Linux box...and more, having the computers side by side with one control system is a Godsend. I would recommend this switch to anyone considering such a purchase.

Hooked it up and it works. You may have to unplug your keyboard or mouse and plug it back in to get the secound computer to reconise it.

Works will with my computer and because the mouse and keyboard use the same USB port it frees up space for other uses

Perfect size. Quick responding. No lag. Great mouse for the price

I really like the keyboard and the mouse

I use the KVM in a computer repair business, it allows me to have just one monitor and keyboard/mouse and work on multiple computer at once. It has good connections and the cable setup is great.

I received this fine keyboard and mouse and find both superb, especially given the ridiculously great price from B&H. Who ever heard of any good computer product for this price? But the problem for Mac users is that there are no usable function keys for all the special Mac functions: EXPOSE and others. After receiving this two days ago, I began using it heavily in my work as a visual artist. The keyboard performs great and so does the mouse. But when I realized I had no special function keys, I immediately called Kensington to see if there were some work-around ways to get those special Mac features. There are not, and the Kensington rep specifically told me they have no keyboards that will provide such Mac features. Instead of trying to return this to B&H, I decided to keep the set because I need a new wired mouse anyway. And a back-up keyboard is always a good idea if you use your computer for work. By the way, I ought to mention that I wanted wired everything because my beloved wife has electromagnetic hypersensitivity, and all wireless devices producing RF are grim for her. I have a special plastic covering the front of my iMac that reduces RF emissions to an extremely low level. So now the whole set-up is safe for her to be near, even though she cannot USE the computer herself. I have now ordered another keyboard from B&H (MAFK318B) that specifically states it supports all Mac function keys. I gave a five-star rating because of the quality of the set. I don't want its reputation downgraded just because it did not work in every way on my computer.

This is my second MK750 keyboard and marathon mouse. I just built a second computer for my office and needed a keyboard. I have an MK750 on my first computer and like it so much that I bought this one. I like the fact that it doesn't use batteries but even more than that I like the feel of the keyboard. I highly recommend this keyboard and mouse combination.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using a mouse with various computer for decades and was joyful when the wireless mouse came into general use a decade ago. Although using a major brand mouse and keyboard with the laptop and TV screen for the past 6 years I was very happy to experience the Lenovo mouse. Someone in the world of device design has woken up and made a larger mouse that has a much better ergonomic feel. Sure we could ll hole the old style mouse, but this one holds you! It also has a perceived improvement in performance when the laptop is tuned to the proper settings. My use is nearly always on the arm of a recliner and its performance has been spotless. It has also fallen a couple of times and the unit is still in one piece and operating perfectly. I also like the full size keyboard which has a good feel and seems sturdy. The quality of an item is remembered long after the price is forgotten.

When setting up a sound booth, reducing background noise is good. So... Placing your computer (and its loud fan) at a distance helps, but it can/will diminish the function of your wireless mouse and keyboard. With these cables you can have it both ways - your computer can be distanced from your mic and the dongles to your mouse and keyboard can be kept close.
