I use this at work to switch between my desktop and connecting my laptop. I love this item because everything you need is included - you don't have to buy any additional cables, or install any software, or anything. It takes seconds to set up, and worked for me like a charm - I can switch video, keyboard and mouse all with the press of the little button, and it's painfully easy to use. The only caveat to this is that there will be more wires to deal with on your desk, and you cant shove them all under because you have to be able to access the switch. I also wish there were some mounting system included so you could attach it under the desk or on top of the desk or something. But considering the cost and the ease of use, this is still a five-star product. Definitely recommend.

It works ok, I am sure there is better.
It does the job, but is intermittent at times and is slow to react.

Comments about Iogear 2-Port Compact USB VGA KVM with Built-in Cables:
This is an inexpensive, simple yet elegant solution to connecting two PCs to a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse. And by combining the keyboard and mouse cables into one USB connection, you gain a USB connection on your PCs. Just a push of the button and you switch from one to the other. It's that simple. One PC is Windows XP, the other is Windows 7. The first time connecting I needed to unplug and replug the keyboard and mouse to get the PC to see them, but only the first time. Now I just push the button. Simple yet elegant.

Comments about Iogear 2-Port Compact USB VGA KVM with Built-in Cables:
I needed a product like this to divide my work, using two computers, one for standard use and one for filming. Since editing takes a great deal of disk space, this was a great solution. It took some time to find a place for it.

I use this KVM to share my monitor with my computer and my Xbox 360. The USB ports in the front come in handy when I need to quickly connect a device. One short coming was that to connect my 360 I needed to add a VGA gender changer to the cable.(but that was my own short site)

Comments about Iogear 2-Port Compact USB VGA KVM with Built-in Cables:
I'm using this to connect a single monitor, USB mouse and USB keyboard to two PCs. It's very easy to use: Just plug the monitor, mouse and keyboard into the KVM, then plug the KVM's built-in cables into each PC. No software to install. Boot both PCs and hit the switch on the KVM to switch from one to the other. Very inexpensive, and it saves space.
