Usb Splitter Hub One Keyboard Multiple Computers

Good for tieing several computers to one printer with an auto USB Hub.

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.

I purchased this cable to connect a desktop to an Anker USB hub which is routinely switched between one of three computers, depending on which is needed at the time. The included Anker cable is about a foot long, which is far too short to reach the desktop. This helped bridge the gap and works perfectly.

I bought this keyboard to help me switch between multiple computers in my home office. It works very well and everything about it is thoughtfully and built with quality. Excellent value, even at the price point.

These dual USB A / USB C drives are a perfect solution if you use multiple computers with different ports and don't want to have to use dongles. My only complaint is that these drives get very warm when in use.

This is a nice, solidly build USB 3.0 hub. Adds multiple ports to my iMac. USB 3.0 speeds sufficient for my needs. The two powered ports work well with my external DVD drive and external SSD drives hosting data as well as SELinux virtual machine files with VNWare Fusion.

I'm using this to connect multiple flight-sim related peripherals and have had no problems with it. I was using Sabrent's 7-port powered hub but upgraded to the 16-port after adding more devices to my rig. Right now the hub is providing connectivity and power for a stick, throttle, rudder pedals (all Virpil), Stream Deck, 3 WinWing USB monitors, and 3 WinWing MFD button panels. Even with a 2-meter USB 3 extension cable, I have had no trouble with any of these devices. 100% recommend.

This USB Hub is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a solid USB Hub for multiple devices. When your computer is unplugged, you can manually switch the device off to save power. In addition, the charge ports can be used without a computer connected!

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 little USB HUB works great with my 2015 (MID) iMac. I use it to attach a keyboard, scanner, printer, and USB memory stick. And, while this isn't a USB charger, it does provide enough power and current to run my lighted keyboard without any issues. It has a little diffused white power indicating LED in the front near the bottom. I really appreciate this little gadget!
