One Keyboard And Mouse For Two Computers Hardware

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.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the hardware(I have an asus mouse, keyboard and mobo) the software does leave a little to be desired but overall 8/10

Easy to set up. The wireless keyboard and mouse means less cord clutter. One suggestion. The User Guide should mention that the keyboard and mouse share the same USB hardware. I called HP about a suspected missing mouse hardware.

The switch is very easy to use and does everything I want and need. With the only setup being to connect your monitor, keyboard and mouse, along with the computers you want to connect with. I would recommend this switch to anyone needing a KVM switch that handles DVI along with audio from all computers.

I plugged the components that I wanted to share (keyboard, mouse, and printer) and the computers to share those components (laptop & desktop) and the KVM switch worked fine.

Bought it to switch keyboard, mouse and headphones between 3 computers (windows and Ubuntu). Works as expected with no delay when switching between the computers.

Very excited to get this monitor. I have two computers that use the same monitor and the fact that I can now use the same keyboard and mouse is amazing. Declutter the desk, minimize the cords and a fantastic display all in one. nothing better at this price for someone with multiple machines.

I use this kvm switch to go between two desktop computers. One has all of my personal business info and programs, the other is my expermental computer. The reason I give this switch 5 stars is that in works perfectly with my Logitech MX5500 Blue Tooth keyboard/mouse combo. I had problems with other switches being able to use both the keyboard and mouse. I have not found a bad thing about this product.
