Usb Converter App For Computer Keyboard

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.

This is a top of the line keyboard. Most every review you read or hear tells you it feels and acts just like an acoustic piano. Well that is totally true. I'm using this in my Studio for the purpose of rehearsal and recording. I connected it to a Mac laptop. Found out after the VPC-1 arrived that to get quality audio you need a USB to audio converter. So I got a Focusrite unit that does a fantastic job. You plug the USB out of your laptop (or computer) into the converter and you get stereo audio that you can send to a mixer of amp.

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

Like the USB feature that it can integrate with the desktop computer via the app and able to shut down the pc automatically when battery capacity is low (even though I've not got the chance to test it yet).

I bought it because i wanted a keyboard and mouse where i can connect to the computer without use any usb drive, and with their bluetooth capabilities this is possible.

I use this keyboard on my desktop computer and I have to write that it undoubtedly has to be the best performing keyboard around. The great thing about it is that it requires no batteries, its corded (USB), so there is no lag time between the computer and the keyboard as battery performance winds down. The keys are quiet while typing and easy on the touch (short key stroke). Of course being from Logitech, the software is an easy download from Logitech and the keyboard is fully programable. Another great thing is that it is low profile and sturdy, it has some weight to it but not bulk, so it stays put on the desk while typing and of course, it is illuminated and has variable illumination at the touch of a button. Multimedia? Of course, more than I would ever require but it is there for the web surfer if needed. Probably the best feature of all in my opinion is that it is a USB keyboard, meaning no batteries to buy and personally I have never been fond of wireless from the beginning but somethings leave you no choice but then again, Logitech does. If there is anything about this keyboard that I don't like, I have not found it as of yet and I have two of them, one I have been using well over a year now and another thing is that there are no character decals on the keys, so no E's or T's falling or rubbing off after a months use or so. So, if you are not into wireless, purchase this keyboard from B & H, you'll love it.

For general use, this computer is fast, compact and well made. Recommend using with a wired keyboard with extra USB receptacles for the mouse. This will allow the 2d USB on the computer to be used for a web cam.

Make sure to actually use the usb output that matches the computer your are testing your mouse+keyboard with. I had the keyboard+mouse not working like some mentioned in other comments/reviews. I contacted the support team which helped me make it work correctly. It's silly but we never know what would have with lack of coffee :) .

I was looking for a good USB only Keyboard and this one is great.

Amazing keyboard no complaints other than the AC app
