Computers Go To Sleep With No Keyboard

Switches computers fairly fast, including auxiliary USB. No obvious snags. I use a Macintosh keyboard and everything works as expected except the eject key, which is not important to me. Switching among Mac, Windows and Linux without a hitch. Solidly built and heavy. Both front and rear aux USB, which is nice. Also, if you turn off or suspend a computer it will automatically seek out the next one that's running (or do nothing if that was the last one closed). Can configure and operate from a wired Mac keyboard also (I don't have any Bluetooth and there are warnings regarding that approach). I was, however, not able to get it to work with VGA using any of the adapters I have. Don't count on mixing VGA and DVI therefore.

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.

Big enough to sleep in! NO joke...told my assistant I better not find him in there taking a nap...

We were able to connect laptop computers to our video conferencing equipment without having to purchase new cables thanks to Cables To Go gender changers.

This Zagg keyboard has cut out for power button which is very nice! (Improved over a previous Zagg for a different keyboard. I did have to figure out about the keyboard going to sleep and to FIRMLY put ipad in slot to wake it up

I would like to start by saying that the thank you card inside the box was a very nice touch. Bravo. All that I wanted was a keyboard where the keys themselves light up. -not the back of the keys-. The reason I wanted this is because my apartment is very poorly lit. I initially contacted best buy. I did my best to explain to them what I was looking for. It is possible that I did not explain my specifications correctly. They might of gotten stuck on my statement that I did not want one of those rainbow light up keyboards, which seem to be trending right now. During that call, I did not initially consider things like how blue LED lights can impact sleep patterns (lots of science on that. look it up). But this keyboard lets you switch back and forth between blue and red (red helps with sleep). And also purple (which is just fun!) The letters are also large. I am young but I do not have the best vision. Like I said, this keyboard is exactly what I wanted.

This is a great keyboard for general purpose usage, and image editing. The keys are large and easily visible, they also feel good to push, not sponge-y but not loud and click-y either. I didn't think I'd enjoy the LED backlight for the keys, but I actually have grown to LOVE it; it's a big help when in low light areas. Only thing that could be improved upon, while it does have shortcut keys for volume, media, and some web browsing, there isn't a Sleep shortcut key (unless you re-map it). A small gripe, but I find Sleep to be more useful than web shortcuts.

Works great to share one VGA Display with two computers, also can share a keyboard and mouse with the two computers.

I use this to switch the monitor, mouse, keyboard and sound between 2 computers. It's been working flawlessly.

This is not something I use on a daily basis, just when I am working inside my computers. No issue, works well.
