Use My Keyboard And Mouse On Another Computer

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.

Another excellent experience with crucial.com. My go to shop for all things related to computer memory.

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

iLOVE THIS PRODUCT SO MUCH THAT I BOUGHT ANOTHER FOR MY SON I USE IT ALL THE TIME. FOR MY CLASSES, TO WATCH VIDEOS AMAZING !!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] NICE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE EASY TO USE NO PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLATION, SUPER PRICE IT IS WORTHED.

Easy to Use! just hook up and you are good to go. I am using it to share a keyboard, mouse and extra monitor Between my desktop and laptop.

Bought this to replace a dead MS mouse and HP keyboard. Use it on my backup pc. For a basic mouse/kyboard, it's great.

Use these in a variety of devices (wireless mouse, wireless keyboard, remotes, noise canceling headphones). They are better than any other recharageables that i've used before (charge last longer, etc.).

I really like the keyboard and the mouse
